Anyone who is confident in themselves is much more stylish.

An idea that is confident always looks masculine.

Every man should own a navy cashmere jacket with gold buttons, a grey suit, black shoes shoes for the city, brown shoes for elsewhere. Everything else should be simple and really well made.

The most uninteresting thing for me is when somebody thinks too much about how they put themselves together.

I feel like jeans and a T-shirt have become Establishment. Everyone’s dressed down. So actually putting on a jacket is the anti-­Establishment stance.

If you’re constantly open to inspiration, it will come to you. The worst thing a man can do is pressure himself into an idea.

I don’t understand why everybody thinks that dressing casually is so much more comfortable. I’m as comfortable in a suit as I am in anything else.

It is so important to be really true to yourself in design, and I am.

Men shouldn’t try too hard, or think about what they wear too much. I like when there’s something about a look that throws it off a little – perfection is really imperfect.

If you saw me every day, you would actually think I am wearing the exact same gray suit.

I was asked to design the tuxedo for Mr. Peanut. They're rebranding him. That was probably the most interesting request. I didn't spend a long time considering it.

It was fortunate that love did not need words

One day you will wake up and there won't be any more time to do the things you've always wanted. Do it now.

I hope you do not let anyone else's expectations direct the course of your life.

Giant oak trees... have deep root systems that can extend two-and-one-half times their height. Such trees rarely are blown down regardless of how violent the storms may be.

The best artists know what to leave out.

And I come from a small Vietnamese family. We're really close too, all ten of us.

It doesn't matter what you do. It matters who you are.

I don't have a big career plan. I just like to see how things come out, and I just try to keep going in different directions.

The degree to which the opportunity to use power effectively is granted to or withheld from individuals is one operative difference between those companies which stagnate and those which innovate.

He who can be a good son will be a good father.
