港女的問題是女人味不夠，讀點洋書，沾染了西方的一點Feminism。東方女子的優秀處丟掉,以為扮洋妞即是有性格。她們不知道，如果克林頓在西安住上半年，必把希拉利和萊溫斯基都一起甩掉。港女說話還有一股TVB腔，都像港式o靓模與女藝員之反智，開口不離飲食資訊，閉嘴不脫減肥心得，這才叫陶總最嘔心。

three months to go

From birth to age 18, a girl needs good parents, from 18 to 35 she needs good looks, from 35 to 55 she needs a good personality, and from 55 on she needs good cash.- Sophie Tucker

you cant do anything about parents, but defs looks, personality and cash.

spot on

The way the system works now, you see the clothes, within an hour or so they’re online, the world sees them. They don’t get to a store for six months. The next week, young celebrity girls are wearing them on red carpets. They’re in every magazine. The customer is bored with those clothes by the time they get to the store. They’re overexposed, you’re tired of them, they’ve lost their freshness, you see somebody wearing it and you say, “Oh, that’s that jacket that was in blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.” Or [a] customer doesn’t want to wear that jacket that was in blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. In addition, all of the fast-fashion companies that do a great job, by the way, knock everything off. So it’s everywhere all over the streets in three months and by the time you get it to the store, what’s the point?
tom ford. i pay you my highest respect.

and you think that fashion is only about pretty dresses

To me, the most exquisite fashion credit I can remember in my lifetime was the day of [President Obama's] inauguration, when Michelle walked the parade route in that greenish-yellow Isabel Toledo dress. Because this was a real moment in which fashion, and quite directional fashion, played a role. When I think about the project of T and the Times, I think about that. I think about fashion outside of the studio and fashion that lives on the street. It doesn't mean you're going to repeat that moment, but I do think there's a way in which you can make lifestyle choices seem pertinent to the way we experience the world, and you can draw those connections in a magazine. Sally Singer

plasticity

It’s unfortunate that we live in such a panicked, dysmorphic society where women don’t even give themselves a chance to see what they’ll look like as older persons. I want to have some idea of what I’ll look like before I start cleaning the slates. I want my kids to know when I’m pissed, when I’m happy, and when I’m confounded. Your face tells a story … and it shouldn’t be a story about your drive to the doctor’s office.
Julia Roberts

i lack confidence

A lot of my pieces are about easy seductiveness and accessibility in terms of showing skin. I've been speaking to a lot of women in their forties and fifties and they want to look sexy — I think it's quite a new thing and at the moment, there isn't a lot out there for them. Seductiveness isn't just for girls in their twenties anymore.
Joseph Altuzarra

consumerism

Sometimes I think the people who buy our clothes live in a parallel universe. Hell, we can't even afford our clothes.
- Proenza Schouler Lazaro Hernandez

你的心不是公廁

Lily Allen and Chanel

It was at a big party in Coco’s apartments in Paris. I was drunk and got lost in the building. I wandered into an attic room and Karl was there. I got really embarrassed and apologised, but he said, ‘No, come in.’ We had a chat – although I can’t remember what about, I was so drunk. I do remember asking him about some shoes he’d designed that had a green ring in the heel [from the Chanel a/w 2009 collection]. I asked how they worked. He drew a diagram explaining the physics of making the shoe. I’ve still got the drawing. A week later I was asked to do the campaign.

barriers

“In the past two decades, men’s fashion underwent a profound yet silent revolution. There was the urge to scream a message of change, because in the Eighties and Nineties fashion — or anything more innovative — was perceived as something for gay men or weirdos. It’s not like that anymore. Men crave fashion and buy and change their clothes based on the occasion. For us, the big break happened at the end of the Nineties, when we started working with David Beckham, a hot, straight man with a family and kids.” - Stefano Gabbana

resonance

If you're angry at a loved one, hug that person. And mean it. You may not want to hug - which is all the more reason to do so. It's hard to stay angry when someone shows they love you, and that's precisely what happens when we hug each other. ~Walter Anderson, The Confidence Course, 1997

助理：那什麽才是女人的條件啊

夏和杰：記好了，條件分很多種，但絕對沒有十全十美的女人。一般來説好了，
漂亮的不下廚，下廚的不溫柔，溫柔的沒主見，有主見的沒女人味，
有女人味的會亂花錢，不會亂花錢的不會打扮，會打扮的不放心，放心的，肯定不能看。
反過來說，男人也一樣，有才華的長的醜，長的帥的不會賺錢，會賺錢的不顧家，
顧家的沒出息，有出息的不浪漫，浪漫的靠不住，靠的住的，肯定是個窩囊廢。
所以說，擁有兩種條件以上的女人，就算是好女人了。三種以上就算是極品了。

助理： (一大堆廢話後)

夏：知不知道同時擁有四種以上挑戰的女人，就做什麽。叫做挑戰。

hey it's december.

The difference between school and life? In school, you're taught a lesson and then given a test. In life, you're given a test that teaches you a lesson.

"I can never read all the books I want; I can never be all the people I want and live all the lives I want. I can never train myself in all the skills I want. And why do I want? I want to live and feel all the shades, tones and variations of mental and physical experience possible in life. And I am horribly limited."

"I’d rather see a woman dressed in clothes from the salvation army than in head to toe Chanel and Dolce, I think fashion is good beacause it’s about self expression." - Peaches Geldof

going gone

"i believe that everything happens for a reason. people change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when their right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no-one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together"
marilyn monroe

so wearing a mesh dress doesnt count as being dressed up?

"anyone can get dressed up and glamorous but it is how people dress in their days off that are the most intriguing"
