Mary-Kate Olsen: "because you're considered one of the most influential fashion designers working today, we want to know how you're constantly inspired."
JG: "I am influenced and inspired by life, the the people I meet, the people I work with, and the people I aspire to and hope to meet.....I read, I go to the movies, listen to music- I am the same as everyone else, only I am always looking for inspiration, looking to create. I am always searching, always on a quest for beauty, for ideas and a muse to seduce me."
Ashley Olsen: "What is fashion's place in modern culture? Is it expression, is it practical?
JG: "Fashion is an expression of the now, yes. Sure, it is one part practical, as we are all wearing clothes, but it is also a business of creating dreams, art that you can wear. It is escapist and indulgent; it is a snapshot of society today."
Fashion photographer Peter Lindbergh
"You know the most important thing I can tell you about creativity is to try and think originally. And try to look into YOURSELF to find things. They're not outside. That is the most important thing."
