I Hope People Will Put Aside Tom

The Thing About Eyewear Is That It Is So Potent, There Are Very Few Accessories That, If You Were Not Wearing Anything, If You Put On They Would Date You To A Whole Era. You Could Look The Thirties, The Fifties, And The Nineties Just By Your Eyewear. It's Like A Pair Of Shoes Because It Is Sculptural. It Exists Without A Face. It Tells A Lot About Where You Are Architecturally Or Aesthetically In A Particular Period In Time.

I Don't Do Shows. I Don't Have Reviews. I'm Not Putting The Clothes On Every Celebrity So That By The Time They Reach The Store The Customers Are Sick Of Seeing Them.

I Am A Perfectionist. This Job Is A Total Ego Thing In A Way. To Be A Designer And Say, 'this Is The Way They Should Dress; This Is The Way Their Homes Should Look; This Is The Way The World Should Be.' But Then, That's The Goal: World Domination Through Style.

There Is No More Dramatic Accessory Than A Perfect Lip. It Is The Focus Of The Face And It Has The Power To Define A Woman's Whole Look.

In My Adult Life I've Understood That If I Put An Enormous Amount Of Love And Honesty Into Something, Usually That Shows In The End.
