- Quote By: Karl Lagerfeld “In a meat-eating world, wearing leather for shoes and even clothes, the discussion of fur is childish.”
-
- Quote By: Rick Owens “It’s all I wear. I can’t even consider wearing leather shoes because it doesn’t seem contemporary. It became a safe way of expressing virility for men. They are the one item in your outfit that any man can go out there with. There can be colors, there can be perforations, there can be confections. It’s kind of like a men’s cravat from the 19th century — the way you tied it, it could be sumptuous.”
-
- Quote By: Donatella Versace “If I could dress anyone, I’d like to dress the Queen – she can handle anything. I’d put her in black – she never wears black – and add a little leather, maybe. A little rock n’ roll.”
-
- Quote By: Coco Chanel “Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening. “I don’t do fashion. I am fashion.”
-
- Quote By: Karl Lagerfeld “What I’ve done, Coco Chanel would never have done. She would have hated it.”
-
- Quote By: Jackie Kennedy “I want them to see what they have done to Jack.”
-
- Quote By: Tyra Banks “Being first lady is not just about being the wife but really taking command and having true vision.”
-
- Quote By: Jackie Kennedy “The one thing I do not want to be called is First Lady. It sounds like a saddle horse.”
-
- Quote By: Oscar Wilde “Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months.”
-
- Quote By: Anna Wintour “You either know fashion or you don’t.”
-
- Quote By: Marc Jacobs “Real fashion is something you don’t need – it’s something you want.”
-
- Quote By: Karl Lagerfeld “We need houses as we need clothes, architecture stimulates fashion. It’s like hunger and thirst — you need them both.”
-
- Quote By: Marc Jacobs “Luxury is anything you don’t need, right? I mean, you need food, water, clothing, shelter… but good wine, good food, beautiful interiors, nice clothes; those aren’t necessities, they are luxuries – it’s all luxury”
-
- Quote By: Ralph Lauren “Fashion is not necessarily about labels. It’s not about brands. It’s about something else that comes from within you.”
-
- Quote By: Donatella Versace “Fashion is all about happiness. It’s fun. It’s important. But it’s not medicine”
-
- Quote By: Jean Paul Gaultier “Fashion is about what you look like, which translates to what you would like to be like.”
-
- Quote By: Ralph Lauren “Fashion is a function of lifestyle, and style a function of quality, integrity and timelessness.”
-
- Quote By: Karl Lagerfeld “Fashion is a language that creates itself in clothes to interpret reality.”
-
- Quote By: Alexander Mcqueen “Fashion should be a form of escapism, and not a form of imprisonment. When I’m dead and gone, people will know that the twenty-first century was started by Alexander McQueen.”
-
- Quote By: Anna Wintour “If you look at any great fashion photograph out of context, it will tell you just as much about what’s going on in the world as a headline in The New York Times.”
-
- Quote By: Alexander Mcqueen “The turnover of fashion is just so quick and so throwaway, and I think that is a big part of the problem. There is no longevity.”
-
- Quote By: Marc Jacobs “I love how the reality of fashion is all about something for that moment and then the extremity of dismissal.”
-
- Quote By: Heidi Klum “In fashion, one day you’re in, and the next you’re out”
-
- Quote By: Tyra Banks “Designers are very fickle. I never wanted to be a victim of that. You’re in one minute, out the next.”
-
- Quote By: Ralph Lauren “I’ve never wanted to be in fashion. Because if you’re in fashion, you’re going to be out of fashion.”
-
- Quote By: Donatella Versace “In fashion, only sexy won’t go out of fashion.”
-
- Quote By: Coco Chanel “Fashion changes, but style endures.”
-
- Quote By: Coco Chanel “Fashion fades, only style remains the same.”
-
- Quote By: Yves Saint Laurent “Fashions fade, style is eternal.”
-
- Quote By: Ralph Lauren “Style is very personal. It has nothing to do with fashion. Fashion is over quickly. Style is forever.”
-
- Quote By: Coco Chanel “In order to be irreplaceable one must always be different.”
-
- Quote By: Jean Paul Gaultier “The shock of the way I mix patterns and fabrics can be disconcerting, but what I am trying to do is provoke new ideas about how pieces can be put together in different ways. I think this is a more modern way to wear clothes that in themselves are fairly classic.”
-
- Quote By: Marc Jacobs “When you see a fashion show, you see those seven minutes of what was six months of tedious work of, you know, going up an inch and down an inch, changing it from one shade of red to another shade of red. So it’s the same as any creative process. The result is what we see, but the process is really labor intensive and work.”
-
- Quote By: Twiggy “What you wear for work should be comfortable and empowering. If you’re working in business, your outfit should mean business. If I go to meet somebody about an acting job, or something creative, then I’ll be in my jeans. For me, overdressing is my biggest fear.”
-
- Quote By: Oscar Wilde “You can never be overdressed or overeducated.”
-
- Quote By: Beau Brummel “If people turn to look at you on the street, you are not well dressed, but either too stiff, too tight, or too fashionable.”
-
- Quote By: Donatella Versace “Fashion is a weapon that you can use when you need it.”
-
- Quote By: Yves Saint Laurent “The big difference between couture and ready-to-wear is not design. It is the fabrics, the handwork, and the fittings. The act of creation is the same. I had noticed men were much more confident in their clothes. So I sought through trouser suits, trench coats, tuxedos, and pea coats to give women the same confidence.”
-
- Quote By: Anna Wintour “There’s a new kind of woman out there…She doesn’t have time to shop anymore. She wants to know what and why and where and how.”
-
- Quote By: Jackie Kennedy “There are two kinds of women, those who want power in the world and those who want power in bed.”
-
- Quote By: Yohji Yamamoto “It meant something to me – the idea of a coat guarding and hiding a woman’s body. For me, a woman who is absorbed in her work, who does not care about gaining one’s favor, strong yet subtle at the same time, is essentially more seductive. The more she hides and abandons her femininity, the more it emerges from the very heart of her existence.”

- Quote By: Virgil Abloh “You have to connect with some body of work or someone who formulated a thought or an aesthetic and then build yours upon them.”
-
- Quote By: Alexander McQueen “I never look at other people’s work. My mind has to be completely focused on my own illusions. ”
-
- Quote By: Karl Lagerfeld “One is never over-dressed or under-dressed with a Little Black Dress.”
-
- Quote By: Yohji Yamamoto “Black is modest and arrogant at the same time. Black is lazy and easy – but mysterious. But above all black says this: “I don’t bother you – don’t bother me”.”
-
- Quote By: Jean Paul Gaultier “I could say that making clothes is my way of communicating, because I was always so shy”
-
- Homer Simpson “Marge, I can’t wear a pink shirt to work. Everybody wears white shirts. I’m not popular enough to be different!”
-
- Quote By: Daniel Franzese of ‘Mean Girls’ “I Want My Pink Shirt Back!”
-
- Quote By: Marc Jacobs “One thing that is exciting about fashion is the surprise element. People don’t know what they want. They just know when they see it”
