my favorite mans quotes -

"I love to take things that are everyday and comforting and make them into the most luxurious things in the world."

//

"I'd like to believe that the women who wear my clothes are not dressingfor other people, that they're wearing what they like and what suits them. It's not a status thing."

//

"Sometimes there are two very opposite directions, and we go with the stronger one at the end. It's an impulse thing, like, 'Oh, I love both so much, but it's got to be one or the other because the two don't work together."

//

 "I like the sort of 'nothingness' of the jeans and the T-shirt. I feel that's about as close as I can get to the future because it seems like something so old that 

will always be, so I feel it's a safe bet for the future."

"It's a cliché, but when I drank I was taller, funnier, smarter, cooler," Jacobs told New York Magazine in 2005. "I would come into work and fall straight to sleep, and then I would tell everyone to come in on a Saturday because we were behind, and then I wouldn't show up."
