- Myself

- Nov 07, 2020

Anytime I see an unusual combination of colors or patterns or texture, I buy it.
- Enough
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I collect art like other people eat pizza. I can't get enough of it. I need a constant source of inspiration.

I always look for inspiration, and the creativity of artists is an essential element to my life, my work, and my happiness.
- Love
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I work 12 hours a day, seven days a week - and I love it. I'm creative. I feel fulfilled. I'm from a solidly lower-middle-class background; I'm not from the world that I'm in now. So I appreciate it a lot. I've really got a rich, full life.

Architects have big egos. We like to think we're creating the pyramids and they're going to be around for thousands of years. And it's a joke because they're not even going to last our lifetime. I built a home for umpteen gazillion dollars on a gorgeous piece of property in Palm Beach, and 11 years later somebody else bought it and knocked it down.
- High

- Nov 07, 2020
In 1991, if someone came in with a $1 million budget for a boutique, I would have fainted. Nobody spent even half that. But now, the bar has risen very high.
- Oil
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
All bronzes are made to be touched. Bronze is a sensual 'living' material. The sweat and oil of your palms adds to the patination.
- Retro
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Creating work for the time that one lives in means no retro thinking. It can and hopefully does mean timelessness.
- Money
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
My parents spent a lot of money so I wouldn't sound like I came from Queens. I went to speech class.
- Name
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
My name is on the door, and I care very much about the design that gets put out. I'm sorry, but it has to be my way. You learn that by working for people like I. M. Pei. You think he isn't a design tyrant? Is Calvin Klein a tyrant? When it came to his dresses, he had to be.

- Nov 07, 2020
People in Shanghai make a lot more money than the farmers in the rice paddies. The rice-paddy farmers are not buying Louis Vuitton bags, but the upwardly mobile ones in Shanghai, who are all working in Wall Street-type firms, are infinitely better-dressed than people in the West. Their women take this fashion thing seriously.
- Live
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
My father's house was on East 55th Street on 1st and 2nd Avenues. I'm fifth-generation Marino in the East 50s - I live on 57th Street. I can't be more East 50s.
- Me

That was really the Fifties for me - that whole spirit of flicking the paint on the canvas.
- Head

- Fantasy
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The French use gardens to show grandeur and the English to show how things have endured for hundreds of years, but for me, they're all about fantasy.
- Pink
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
We have a thousand hydrangea plants bordering the house, and they were all supposed to be pink, but a handful of them keep turning purple.
- Like

- Nov 07, 2020
I do really modern with materials that are so luxurious that they're, like, baroque.
- Broken Glass
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I believe that women would crawl across broken glass to get a cool pair of shoes.
- Education
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I've benefited enormously from an arts education and a music education in New York. When they cut the programs for funding, I was devastated.
- Done
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Ginza! Where I've done two Chanel towers and Louis Vuitton and Dior stores. I just feel at home there.
- Blossoms
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Koishikawa Korakuen Garden - one of Tokyo's oldest Japanese gardens, and one of the best spots for viewing the cherry blossoms.
- New
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
If you want to come up with a really original design idea, and you want to capture a whole new design direction, perhaps the best way to arrive at that is not by acting and thinking and doing like everybody else. That's all.
- More
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I like more the fact that I like to think out of the box. Thinking out of the box goes along with dressing out of the box and living out of the box.
- Design
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Design-wise, I look at everything. If I don't personally design it, I'll review it. I'm kind of creative director of the firm.
- Good
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
It's a good marriage because each of us is what we are, allows the other one to be themselves, and appreciates each other for the right reason. You know, it's rare that you'll find two people who don't try to change the other person and let everyone be what they are.
- Beautiful
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
When I opened Chanel in London, they were happy. People would go, 'Oh, I just came in to see it. It's so beautiful.' And you leave with a positive attitude toward the brand. Now, you don't really get that online. You don't go, like, 'Wow.'
- Building
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Publicity doesn't really get me anything. Clients are not going to hire me for a $100 million building because I have a brand. They really want the product.
- Look
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I don't sell anything. So, I have a personal image, but I think that's because I'm from an art background, and I'm an artist, and I think most artists do have personal images. I consider myself more in that category of the way an artist had a look.
- Go
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
If I need a pair of tennis shorts, I'll buy them online. I don't really care. Not going to go and try on a pair and see how my bum looks. Who cares? But for things that you care about - I mean, a jacket and a pair of trousers, you've got to try them on.
