I don't design clothes, I design dreams.
Interpretation
The focus of the designer is not merely on clothes but on the aspirations and fantasies they inspire.
Ralph Lauren's quote emphasizes the idea that fashion is not just about fabric and design; it is about creating an experience and invoking emotions. By stating that he designs dreams, he suggests that clothing can transform perceptions, uplift spirits, and provide a sense of identity, making fashion an art form that connects deeply with people's aspirations and dreams.

I hate outlines. I have a broad sense of where the story is going; I know the end, I know the end of the principal characters, and I know the major turning points and events from the books, the climaxes for each book, but I don't necessarily know each twist and turn along the way. That's something I discover in the course of writing and that's what makes writing enjoyable. I think if I outlined comprehensively and stuck to the outline the actual writing would be boring.
When the writer (or the artist in general) says he has worked without giving any thought to the rules of the process, he simply means he was working without realizing he knew the rules.
The best books come from someplace inside. You don't write because you want to, but because you have to.
