Caesar Stovall in the New York Times
I had no clue how big of a deal it was,” Stovall said. “Down where I come from, they don’t say Givenchy,” he added, using its proper French pronunciation (zhee-vahn-shee), “they say Givenchy,” using the hard “g” of give and the hard “ch” of bench.

Quotable | Tom Ford in Interview by Sølve Sundsbø
Always providing for interesting pulled quotes, designer Tom Ford sits down for an interview about his debut film “A Single Man” with director Gus Van Sant in the most recent issue of Interview magazine. Sharing experiences from his own personal life, Ford dishes on obsession.
I don’t know if you’ve ever been obsessed by anyone. We all have. I’ve been a stalker at times in my life. You know. Where you sit outside someone’s house hoping you’ll catch a glimpse of them through the window.” — Tom Ford
Quotable | Stolen Girlfriends Club
Definitely worthy of a read, Black’s most recent issue features an informal chat with Marc Moore, Luke Harwood and Dan Gosling of Stolen Girlfriends Club. The feature touches upon their beginnings, design process and future goals among many other topics. An interesting tidbit that comes from the interview is Moore relating the pressures of growing and maturing as a label:
We’ve grown a lot…Now we have an actual business on our hands which creates a lot of pressure and there is a huge pressure on you to adhere and conform and become more commercial…sell more units, you know…but the way we look at it is, we’ve got to have fun, and be passionate about what we are making, because if we are not pushing ourselves and learning new things, and doing new shit, and keeping it exciting, then we are going to stop growing. If we stop growing, then we might as well shrivel up and die.” — Marc Moore
Quotable | Tom Ford Dishes on YSL Stint
But being at Yves Saint Laurent was such a negative experience for me even though the business boomed while I was there. Yves and his partner, Pierre Bergé, were so difficult and so evil and made my life such misery…I’ve never talked about this on the record before, but it was an awful time for me. Pierre and Yves were just evil. So Yves Saint Laurent doesn’t exist for me.

Quotable | Alexander Wang
Yes, we’re launching menswear for spring/summer 10. It’s been a long time in the making, but I was waiting for the right time and opportunity to launch it. I think people will be surprised when they see it – this line isn’t about being a counterpart to the girl’s line, the men’s will not be a ‘fashion’ line. It’s really about easy, cool clothes that guys will feel confident and comfortable in – I think guys look their sexiest when they are dressed simply, not in full look head to toe. (Farfetch)
