I’m not trying to reinvent the wheel. I believe that clothes should make a woman feel beautiful. But sometimes it’s the little things like cut and fit and sex appeal that make a large impact. Joseph Altuzarra Read Quote
I think women want to feel beautiful. They want to feel seductive. I also try to think about items that can be worn in different ways so they can be worn more than once. If you’re going to buy a $2,000 jacket, you are going to want to wear it over and over. Joseph Altuzarra Read Quote

I don’t think I’m an artist or that I’m doing anything superintellectual. What’s important to me is to get a visceral reaction from people, for them to want that coat because they think it’s beautiful. Joseph Altuzarra Read Quote

It’s important not to take all this fashion stuff too seriously, and I kind of love the idea of cheesiness. Joseph Altuzarra Read Quote
