I tried a dozen different modifications that were rejected. But they all served as a path to the final design.

Spend 10% of the project budget making sure you understand problem, the key technologies involved, and have looked at all of the options before you dive into the detailed design.

About half my designs are controlled fantasy, 15 percent are total madness and the rest are bread-and-butter designs.

Porsche's and Apple's design philosophies are similar. Much like the 356, the original iPhone was about defining a foundation for the future.

We can engineer a building and design a building with least reliance on active machinery to make it inhabitable.

I have an all-Japanese design team, and none of them speak English. So it's often funny and surprising how my ideas end up lost in translation.

Companies that are design-led understand that design is not a deliverable; it is a profound manifestation of the human spirit.

I'm a total control freak and love to participate in the design of every single aspect of life.

There's a lot of shoes that people consider high-end fashion, from Balenciaga to this and that or whatever, and the Pro Models are very similar to me. They're very fashionable to me - the design and the shape of them. I just like them.

Uber has to design for the global platform.

My actual first summer internship was in the design department of Clinique.

I'm a very visual person, and I love opening beautiful books on art or design and looking through them.

Design is not for philosophy it's for life.

My design is no design.

I gravitated towards the field of clothing design, partly because it is a creative format that is modern and optimistic.

Design is a vital component to the enrichment of our everyday lives. Japan has a very rich history and culture of design, and I feel it is a very important dialogue to open and keep evolving.

I've never mentioned this, but when I was at Parsons teaching, the other design disciplines, they don't like fashion design. They see it as very nineteenth-century.

That's something I learned in art school. I studied graphic design in Germany, and my professor emphasized the responsibility that designers and illustrators have towards the people they create things for.

If you see a player out in public having dinner, chances are he's with his boring money manager or some boring rich guy he hopes to design a golf course for.

I've never had anyone define purity. You probably can't define purity. Purity is to live according to original design.

I graduated from Academy of Fashion and Costume Design in Rome. At first, I thought I was going to be a costume designer for films, and then I ended up working in fashion - not as a designer, but mostly as a model.

I believe in empty spaces; they're the most wonderful thing.

Design has always been at the heart of our business.

I never set out to do interior design; I just do what I do, and some people come along and want me to work with them.

I don't design down to a price.

We always say we are a brand for our fans because through social media we're so lucky to see what people are asking us for, what they're looking for, and so we really design what we like but also take our fans in mind.

We do have a two against one rule. If two sisters feel very strongly about a design or trend we want to try, we go for it.

We spent a lot of time trend forecasting and collaborating on ways to design a fresh line of fashion-forward, affordable luxury.

Designing was always something I was interested in. I studied fashion design in high school as well as how to sew.

When I meet celebrities, I have to know what they are like and only then can I design. The clothes have to fit their personality.

Women are all the same; we want to be smaller in the waist, longer legs, slimmer. I design for women and their defects, to make them better.

I have high hopes that GIS will become increasingly relevant for landscape architects as we make the tools easier to use for the design process of just inventory and mapping.

I want to have all that scientific information that we're building be used in designing the future so that people who make geographic decisions - and here it's not just land-use planners, but it's everyone: foresters, transportation engineers, people who buy a house - can analyze all of these information layers and design a future.

AppStudio is a native app builder that allows you to build the app and automatically deploy it on Android, iPhone, and Windows. It lets you design it once and then implement it anywhere.

Google has withdrawn from China, arguing that it is no longer willing to design its search engine to block information that the Chinese government does not wish its citizens to have. In liberal democracies around the world, this decision has generally been greeted with enthusiasm.

Most of the robots being developed for home use are functional in design - Gecko's homecare robot looks rather like the Star Wars robot R2-D2. Honda and Sony are designing robots that look more like the same movie's 'android' C-3PO.

Great design... you won't have a business today without great design.

Great design alone isn't going to yield the results investors are expecting.

Watching my dad, Ralph Lauren, design clothes when I was young, I was always inspired.

I love Janet Jackson and her creative set design.

I was actually a communications major and had never done design.

Developing games for the PC and consoles is all about everything and the kitchen sink. In many ways, you don't have design decisions to make. You do it all. So I enjoy going back to making decisions about what's important as I'm working on a game.

It is a shame that homebrew development can't be officially sanctioned and supported, because it would be a wonderful platform for a modern generation of programmers to be able to get a real feel for low level design work, to be contrasted with the high level web and application work that so many entry level people start with.

But I'm blessed to work with great people. I collaborate with brilliant stylists both here and in Paris. I work with a great design team. I really allow everyone to bring their ideas. I almost rely on them to inspire me.

I'm not really well educated - other than an art survey course at the High School of Art and Design in New York when I was, like, 15. I don't know the history of art, but I got over intimidation from the art world when I realized that I was allowed to feel whatever I want and like whatever I want.
