A biography for Michael Korshasn’t been written yet.
“The '90s will be looked back on as ushering in an era of comfort.”
“A man in a well tailored suit will always shine brighter than a guy in an off-the-rack suit.”
“I don't even think of going to Europe as going to another country now.”
“When you try on something, you have to ask yourself, 'How many ways could I wear this? Could I wear it to work? To dinner or drinks? Will it span the seasons' If you have to think too hard about those questions, then skip it.”
“In the '80s, it got to the point where we'd have shows with a hundred looks. You'd want to order a pizza before it was over!”
“People want to look taller and thinner. No one says, 'Ooh! Let me buy that dress because it makes me feel matronly!'”
“American women often fall into the trap of, 'Oh, these are my weekend clothes. These are my work clothes. This is what I wear at night.' It's so old-fashioned.”
“Americans are always a little bit insecure.”
“I wear the same thing every day. I always pack two black jackets, loads of black T-shirts, loads of white jeans. I feel a little fresh and glamorous and graphic.”
“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?”
“נשים אמריקאיות נופלות לעתים קרובות במלכודת של, 'אה, אלה בגדי סוף השבוע שלי. אלה בגדי העבודה שלי. זה מה שאני לובשת בלילה'. זה כל כך מיושן.”
“בגלל מה שקורה בכלכלה, אני חושב שנשים מבינות שאולי הן לא צריכות ארון מלא בבגדים. הן רק צריכים את הבגדים הנכונים.”
“אני חושב שלהרבה נשים יש יותר מדי חצאיות מיני בארון שלהן.”
“לא הייתי אובססיבי לברביות. אני חושב שאמא שלי אולי הייתה הברבי שלי.”
“For me, true luxury can be caviar or a day with no meetings, no appointments and no schedule.”
“People always think that designers hate each other. And we're certainly a competitive lot, but we also enjoy each other's company.”
“I think the older I get, the more I realize that the ultimate luxury is time.”
“Learn to invest in the best quality you can afford and wear pieces in different ways.”
“There's a whole generation of women who never really heard the word investment before, when it came to fashion. They've been buying things because they were cheap.”
“Give me Caviar Kaspia and give me a hamburger. I love the two extremes.”
