I always say that MTV cribs is what brought straight men into the fashion world. Once they sort of saw sports guys and music guys had, like, a billion sneakers, they realized, 'Oh, you mean I can have more than one?'
Quote by -Nick Wooster
I always say, I have been fired from more jobs than most people would ever have had in their entire career.
Quote by -Nick Wooster
Fit and fabric are paramount. If the jacket fits, it doesn't matter what price you paid for it - you will look and feel fantastic.
Quote by -Nick Wooster
I did well in school and was able to excel in those areas where I knew I needed to be good at.
Quote by -Nick Wooster
When I was a kid, my parents were happy to buy me clothes; they provided for me.
Quote by -Nick Wooster
Bloggers and stores and publications and brands and houses all need to sort of take a deep breath and relax because no one is going away. The brands aren't going away. The designers, bloggers, publications aren't going away.
Quote by -Nick Wooster
I'm probably one of the most fearful persons in the world, but not when it comes to getting dressed.
Quote by -Nick Wooster
I would never, ever call myself a createur or a designer. I'm more of an amalgamator or a D.J., taking two things that don't go together and making them go together.
Quote by -Nick Wooster
My face doesn't look the same way it did at 39. My body doesn't look the same way it did at 39.
Quote by -Nick Wooster
I was 39 when I did, essentially, a three-quarter sleeve on my left arm. It was very late in life, which is good: I can't think of any decision I made at 19 that I'd be happy with at 39 or even now, at 51.
Quote by -Nick Wooster
I've decided I'm no longer pulling sweaters over my head. Maybe that's sort of an old man thing, but if it is, I'm there.
Quote by -Nick Wooster
I like clothes. When I realized as a child that you had to wear them, and it takes the same amount of effort to look good or not, I figured out long ago that I only wanted stuff that I loved and looked good in.
Quote by -Nick Wooster
I did this the hard way. I have worked my entire life in this business, and I've done the work - from being on the selling floor to learning to speak Italian to work with manufacturers with John Bartlett. I've done it all. I've paid my dues.
Quote by -Nick Wooster
I recognize that, to someone who doesn't know my history, maybe I seem like this guy who gets dressed up for the Internet.
Quote by -Nick Wooster
Anybody can make a thousand dollar garment because you find the finest fabric and the finest mills, and you churn that out.
Quote by -Nick Wooster
In Japan, the attention to detail in customer service is an experience that is unlike anywhere else. It's really quite special. I think everyone who's interested in fashion would do well to take a trip to learn about presentation and the way the merchandise is handed to you. These are skills that no one really thinks about.
Quote by -Nick Wooster
What I love about travel and shopping is seeing how different retailers in London, Paris, and New York interpret the same collection. I like to find the best store in town and take a good look because there will always be a nuance that you just can't get anywhere else.
Quote by -Nick Wooster
A classic fishtail parka, anorak, mackintosh, windbreaker, pea coat, or jean jacket will get you through every season.
Quote by -Nick Wooster
Just about everyone is quick to judge plastic surgery, especially on a man. We've all seen people who end up looking a little scary.
Quote by -Nick Wooster
I think the way you dress is a direct reflection out of what you will get out of your day; you make the effort, people will notice. You'll feel better, and those around you will feel better.
Quote by -Nick Wooster
I'm not just a designer; I'm not just a retailer. I'm not just a street style person, whatever that is. I can instead do a little bit of everything.
Quote by -Nick Wooster
Fashion comes and goes; prints come and go. Proper camo never really goes away.
Quote by -Nick Wooster
I am probably biased, but I think social media is the great equalizer. It gives everyone a megaphone. Young people who might not have had the platform for exposure can now get their ideas out to a very receptive audience.
Quote by -Nick Wooster
I truly find inspiration everywhere. I always tell students, and young people starting out, that the single most important skill, next to listening, is to pay attention. You never know where inspiration will strike.
Quote by -Nick Wooster
Lardini is my go-to tailor. They work with me on a lot of personal things, which is nice.
Quote by -Nick Wooster
I think many men are either time poor or have little interest in going to stores. I love stores.
Quote by -Nick Wooster
If someone tells me I can't wear something, that's the moment when I want to wear it.
Quote by -Nick Wooster
I carry both a Blackberry and an iPhone. But for my job, the iPhone is essential because of picture-taking and because of picture sharing.
Quote by -Nick Wooster
There's something about the U.S. and Japan: two opposite ends of the planet, two completely different languages, and yet, especially in menswear, they share this kind of idealized way of dressing that is so close to what we do in America.
Quote by -Nick Wooster
A gray flannel suit by Thom Browne or Tom Ford can be worn a billion ways. I'll wear a gray flannel jacket with a white shirt, gray flannel tie, beat-up fatigues, and a dress shoe or Carpe Diem boots.
Quote by -Nick Wooster
The Japanese are the ultimate students: they analyse things in so much detail... until they have pretty much mastered whatever they are studying.
Quote by -Nick Wooster
There are so many more people in Tokyo than in New York, but it's pristine. It's so organized, and yet the address system is in complete chaos.
Quote by -Nick Wooster
A man in Tom Ford will develop a nice, long relationship with the brand. Ford is very smart about positioning his product. He's a name that is going to remain huge.
Quote by -Nick Wooster
I went through a Billy Idol phase. I had white hair when Peter Rizzo hired me at Barneys.
Quote by -Nick Wooster
I love London, Hong Kong, Tokyo, Paris - there are a million places I could imagine I like, but N.Y. is home.
