I have a whole closet in my house that's dedicated just to jackets and coats, stuff that I've collected over the years.
I did not want to go out at 5:30 in the morning with my stocking cap and my navy pea coat on and shoot lines and grades for the rest of my life.
All my heroes wore coats and ties to work. What happened to men wearing hats? Maybe I should bring back hats.
When a guy takes off his coat, he's not going to fight. When a guy takes off his wristwatch, watch out!
Almost every collection I do has 200 different references. I don't have two of the same coat, two of the same dress. I have it in one color, in one fabric. I've tried to adapt the culture of couture, and the know-how and the heritage, but I try to update it.
I'm not a big fan of the post-Armageddon stories, where Denzel Washington is walking around in a torn coat.
Zegna has the perfect weight fabric. There are a lot of designers who make clothes that are a little too heavy. They feel heavy. They almost feel like a coat.
It might sound strange to describe New Yorkers as insecure when they delight so much in the cult of success. The display of wealth here, especially new wealth, is indeed wonderfully frank, from the super-long limousines which clog up the roads to the voluptuous fur coats that adorn both men and women.
I've never been big on sports coats and pants. I'm a suit guy. It makes it clear who's in charge.
Videogames make you feel like you're actually doing something. Your brain processes the tiered game achievements as real-life achievements. Every time you get to the next level, hot jets of reward chemical coat your brain in a lathery foam, and it seems like you're actually accomplishing stuff.
