“So many people are following fashion now. It's become fashion-tainment.”
“When I'm on the road for fashion shows, I love room service. I think it's one of the greatest things in the world. I usually like to keep it simple with soup, but my big indulgence is French fries or chicken fingers.”
“For me, I'll unwind at the end of the day by soaking in Epsom salts. It's the routine I prefer for coming down after crazy days.”
“There's a reason good fabrics have a cost. They're done with good quality to last.”
“I have so many fashion mistakes, but that's part of being in fashion. I think the people that you see make the most mistakes are usually the best dressers.”
“I was not a young fashion victim. I really had an idea of what I liked in fashion and how I dressed.”
“The most significant pieces for me are the ones that come from my drapings. It's emotional because they are created by my hand and then become a collaborative process in the atelier.”
“New York ladies all look immaculate.”

“I am a compulsive and concise shopper.”
“I love creative people.”
“I eat everything, but I moderate; I try to be semiconscious. I don't eat pasta every day, although people who follow my Instagram think I do.”
“I don't believe in one ideal beauty.”
“Listen, I'm not a rich kid. I'm a cultured kid; I'm very rich in culture.”
“Don't worry about what's cool and what's not cool. Authenticity is what's cool.”
“I'm definitely planning ahead for a brand that spans the universe - a Zac Posen universe.”
“I personally love grilling, but it's a 15- to 20-minute commitment in entertaining.”
“I want to be a major force.”
