Danh ngôn của John Rocha (Sứ mệnh: 2)

Beautiful fabrics last; synthetics don't. Certain fabrics, such as linen or cotton, develop their own character over time.
I turned my hand to costume design a few years ago when I created the outfits for 'This Is the Sea,' with Richard Harris and Samantha Morton. It's a very different discipline to being a fashion designer, though - you have to rein in your own vision and work to a tight brief.
Dubai is a vibrant city: Big cars, big buildings... it reminds me of my home town, Hong Kong. People are always on the move here, and there's a lot going on. There are some wonderful architecture and some not-so-wonderful.
Design has always been at the heart of our business.
I went from fashion to glass in 1995, and I'm very interested in architecture.
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.
It might be a selfish choice, but I find it quite difficult to design for individuals and prefer the distance of larger schemes. It's the same reason why, as a designer, I don't do wedding dresses.
When I was young, we always went to our posh cousins at Christmas. My dad made sure we had new shoes and clean clothes - he was really proud - and that's why I felt different from everyone living around me. We had the first television on the estate, the first fridge.
I want to explore my design philosophy in different mediums, and I'm very interested in architecture.
