I love that you can have the language between the two worlds of technology and fashion because I don't think that many designers get to do that.

I don't want to criticize any other designers but I have to say that many of the people involved in this industry - directors and producers - are trying to make their games more like movies. They are longing to make movies rather than making videogames.

I'd love to go to fashion week! I'm learning more about designers thanks to 'Pretty Little Liars'' costume designer Mandi Line.

But things move in circles: one minute it's the models who are famous then it's the actresses then it's the designers.

Writers now are putting total faith in designers at Apple and Amazon. It's almost like a race-car driver having no input into how cars are designed.

That's something I learned in art school. I studied graphic design in Germany and my professor emphasized the responsibility that designers and illustrators have towards the people they create things for.

I'm really not for famous people who design a line for a company when you know it's not really them creating it but a team of designers especially when there are so many talented people who've taken the time to go and study fashion.

We used to be referred to as bakers and then we became known as cake decorators and now we are known as cake designers. I teach at the French Culinary Institute in New York and cake design is a legitimate profession.

There are two kinds of designers: ones who are very happy locked in their office surrounded by their coterie. The last thing they need to do is to go to a trunk show they'd go running for the hills. I not only enjoy it I think how do you design things that are applicable to life - unless you live it?

What I've learned from different designers is that it's key to be true to who you are and your vision. That's always been my line of thinking. Working through the whole design process I don't want to create something I wouldn't be proud to wear.

Over the past 20 years I have noticed that the most flexible dynamic inquisitive minds among my students have been industrial design majors. Industrial designers are bracingly free of ideology and cant. The industrial designer is trained to be a clear-eyed observer of the commercial world - which like it or not is modern reality.

Designers are very fickle. I never wanted to be a victim of that. You're in one minute out the next.

Sometimes I can't figure designers out. It's as if they flunked human anatomy.

I'm a fan of designers and clothes that look beautiful but more importantly make me feel beautiful and confident. It's why I've always loved Stella McCartney and more recently Prabal Gurung. Their pieces are cool yet timeless and the fits are effortlessly flattering.

Car designers are just going to have to come up with an automobile that outlasts the payments.

Great designers seldom make great advertising men because they get overcome by the beauty of the picture - and forget that merchandise must be sold.

It's amazing to see things that are suggested in the book fully developed and so brilliantly realized through the artistry of the designers.
