On Expansion:

‘It’s funny, we get a lot of people bent out of shape who say, Oh, these guys are going to fall off now that they’re opening in Paris. I’m not really concerned if people have this purist view of the New York Supreme thing. If they think opening our shop in Paris is going to harm our brand, then we can’t really be that strong of a brand.’

‘Yeah, we’re a New York brand, but we’re a world brand now, too. It’s no different than Levi’s being from San Francisco.’

‘We haven’t done a lot of stores simply because of man power. As a small brand, we do it all, We don’t need an investor. We would never go anywhere or do anything where we feel it would compromise what we do.’
