But after the time there I’d had it with fashion again, so I left to go to architecture school in a summer course at Harvard, which didn’t last very long. – Stephen Sprouse
I got to the point where I was sick of fashion again, like I was at the end of high school. – Stephen Sprouse
When I went to college, I wasn’t interested in fashion anymore – I was interested in art. – Stephen Sprouse
Then I moved down to the Bowery to this building where Debbie Harry lived. It was there that I started combining some clothes for her and continued doing the art and photography. – Stephen Sprouse
The photograph, the clothes, the sets – this was about 1974, and I started hanging out with my friend Richard Sold, who was playing in a band with Patti Smith. – Stephen Sprouse
Maybe if they all could he combined – art, rock and fashion. Those were always my favorite things. – Stephen Sprouse
I don’t know if it’s a movement, but the only thing new that’s happening is that I think music and art and video and fashion are all kind of thrown into one big ball that’s on television, and people see that all the time – you see a fusion of all those things. – Stephen Sprouse
I lived in town until I was eight and then I moved nearer the farmland, so I had a mixture. – Stephen Sprouse
That’s how I taught myself how to draw – tracing the ads and petting new clothes on the models. – Stephen Sprouse
I just really wanted to do art, except when I was taking those photographs of people I would make the clothes that I would photograph them in so I could control the whole thing. – Stephen Sprouse
