 * I love the gym, but I still want to look a bit awkward at it. I don't want to look too on top of it, you know?

 * ...People that don’t have any interest in the psychology of nuance, who need everything to be in their face, who don’t want to analyze... those aren’t the people I romanticize about dressing.

 * On the appeal of his clothes


 * I'd like to believe that the women who wear my clothes are not dressing for other people, that they're wearing what they like and what suits them. It's not a status thing.

 * On his perfect customer


 * I don’t believe in fashion dictatorship, and I find that anybody who follows the dictates of fashion is a bit lost. I’m excited by style, not so much by fashion.

 * On his perfect customer


 * Clothes to me aren’t sexy. Like, a dress isn’t sexy. Maybe the girl who wears it is sexy.
 * I find that maybe, perhaps the Marc collection is the most sexy ’cause it’s the most youthful, and what I find sexy is youth.

 * On which of his three collections is sexiest


 * It’s almost the not-knowing that’s sexy. When the look is too contrived... Trying to assimilate a look to be sexy to me is pretty transparent in the first place. So... somebody who just kind of stumbles into a sexy look... who’s not been thinking about fashion at all...

 * On clothes and sex


 * We always say, ‘Gisele’s so hot, how do we break her down?'

 * On transforming the models


 * ...Everybody likes sex. The world would be a better place if people just engaged in sex and didn’t worry about it. But what I prefer is that even if someone feels hedonistic, they don’t look it. Curiosity about sex is much more interesting to me than domination. Like, Britney and Paris and Pamela might be someone’s definition of sexy, but they’re not mine. My clothes are not hot. Never. Never.
