“Design, if it is to be ecologically responsible and socially responsiv...” — Victor Papanek Quote

Design, if it is to be ecologically responsible and socially responsive, must be revolutionary and radical.

The only important thing about design is how it relates to people.

There are professions more harmful than industrial design, but only a few.

Industrial design is a superficial practice. You use your approach regardless of the project because there is no time for a deep understanding of a single product.

For one thing, I am still working as an adviser on fashion, design and colour and stuff.

I design to make women feel confident and beautiful.

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

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.
