To New York Magazine at at Fashion Week:
It’s helped me to become more pure and determined in my vision. It’s a more creative time. I started my business in another trying time, right after 9/11 … [there sort of was a similar terrifying moment in the world … For those first few years, there were no investors—it was hand-to-mouth, it was interns] … Everyone was saying ‘don’t go into business, there’s no place, there’s no retail world out there.’ Nobody wanted to hear about a new brand. But you create your own excitement, and you create the industry, and you create the customer.
No single event can awaken within us a stranger totally unknown to us. To live is to be slowly born.
— Antoine de Saint Exupéry. (“Aucune circonstance ne réveille en nous un étranger dont nous n’aurions rien soupçonné. Vivre, c’est naître lentement.”)
Found via Chris Sacca, who has a great writeup of his involvement in the Obama campaign.
