When you look like you stepped out of a catalog, that's never good. People shouldn't succumb to trend, they should interpret trend.
It’s easier to follow fashion than it is to have personal style.
The guy I cater my clothes to wants to be different without going overboard. So we sell many classic silhouettes with unique details to avoid things from getting ordinary.
There's definitely a thin line between being tasteful and tacky. I feel like tasteful is very unique...it's not necessarily wearing a bunch of chains - that could be either tasteful or tacky. It just depends on how you wear them and what kind of chains they are.
I'm never sloppy, and I never wear jeans. I don't work one look in particular, but it's usually retro - I'm a flea-market freak. And detailed - I'm always very done, even at the gym.
Writing is not like acting, where you can pull these little stunts that create a particular effect. Words are all it is about, and the way you use words has to be individual and particular to you.
When I got older, I wanted to have shoes that no one else had, so I started to choose different shoes; then it followed to my clothes.
I'm not a trend person. I don't want to look to my right and see somebody in the same thing.
Hong Kong girls have a genius sense of style. I came back to the States thinking no one here has any individuality. Or cute enough socks.
If you only have work clothes - the black trouser and ribbed turtleneck you got four years ago at the Gap - you're not participating in your own style personality.
I couldn't stand the fact that anybody else was dressing like me. It was supposed to be for me and my friends, not my daughter and her friends!
