Fashion is very important. It is life-enhancing and, like everything that gives pleasure, it is worth doing well.
Vivienne WestwoodOh yes, I love to do shoes. I’m not a fetishist but I love to do shoes.
Karl LagerfeldI always loved advertising. If I hadn’t been in fashion, I’d have been in advertising.
Karl LagerfeldThe sexiest thing that a woman can do, wear, and say all fall under one word to me: subtlety. To be subtle in the things that she does and the things she says and the things she wears – I appreciate the details.
Dwayne JohnsonThe stylish kids on the street, they’re the ones that set the trends. The designers see what they’re doing and go and design their line and sell it back to the same kids, and it’s like, why not go directly to the source?
RihannaNothing is more obstinate than a fashionable consensus.
Margaret ThatcherYou have a more interesting life if you wear impressive clothes.
Vivienne WestwoodI wear the national dress because it is the most natural and the most becoming for an Indian.
Mahatma GandhiI saw a woman wearing a sweatshirt with Guess on it. I said, Thyroid problem?
Arnold SchwarzeneggerElegance is usually confused with superficiality, fashion, lack of depth. This is a serious mistake: human beings need to have elegance in their actions and in their posture because this word is synonymous with good taste, amiability, equilibrium and harmony.
Paulo CoelhoAll styles are good except the tiresome kind.
VoltaireDignity, and even holiness too, sometimes, are more questions of coat and waistcoat than some people imagine.
Charles DickensI have a hat. It is graceful and feminine and give me a certain dignity, as if I were attending a state funeral or something. Someday I may get up enough courage to wear it, instead of carrying it.
Erma BombeckMy clothes have always got a very strong dynamic rapport with the body – they are very body conscious, they help you to look glamorous, more hourglass, more woman.
Vivienne WestwoodFor me, bomber jackets are smart, but they are also street and have a lot of attitude.
The WeekndYou’d be surprised how much it costs to look this cheap!
Dolly PartonFashion is an imposition, a reign on freedom.
Golda MeirSilence is the element in which great things fashion themselves together.
Thomas CarlyleI go to all these photo shoots, and each time I figure out something new about myself and what I want to wear.
Taylor SwiftI am, and ever will be, a white socks, pocket protector, nerdy engineer.
Neil ArmstrongIn a meat-eating world, wearing leather for shoes and clothes and even handbags, the discussion of fur is childish.
Karl LagerfeldI look like a casual, laid-back guy, but it’s like a circus in my head.
Steven WrightThe one thing I couldn’t identify with was the blue cowboy outfit he put on.
Dwayne JohnsonDesigners want me to dress like Spring, in billowing things. I don’t feel like Spring. I feel like a warm red Autumn.
Marilyn MonroeBe careless in your dress if you must, but keep a tidy soul.
Mark TwainI urge everyone to be trendsetters for Azza Suleiman. Let’s make it one fashion which everyone will want to follow.
Vivienne WestwoodThere are charms made only for distant admiration.
Samuel JohnsonI thought I would dress in baggy pants, big shoes, a cane and a derby hat. everything a contradiction: the pants baggy, the coat tight, the hat small and the shoes large.
Charlie ChaplinWhen we started to do punk, we put all of these things together to create the look of an urban guerrilla – a rebel.
Vivienne WestwoodObviously black matches with everything.

Vivienne WestwoodWe based the look on rock ‚n roll right from the beginning.
Vivienne WestwoodI never expected to see the day when girls would get sunburned in the places they now do.
Will RogersIn Italy they take cheap cloth and make it look expensive, but I take expensive cloth and make it look cheap. They just don’t understand.
Vivienne WestwoodIn words, as fashions, the same rule will hold; Alike fantastic, if too new, or old: Be not the first by whom the new are tried, Nor yet the last to lay the old aside.
Alexander PopeWhen I was fourteen and first started going out, I always wanted to be the opposite of everyone else. So I would go to the club in a polo T-shirt and pants and sneakers and a hat on backward, just so I would not be dressed like other girls.
RihannaThere was a moment when designers draped in ermine would be reading Proust, or pretending to.
Karl LagerfeldI love ripped jeans! They are flattering. I’m very petite, so I think they make my butt look lovely.
Ariana GrandeSometimes I can’t figure designers out. It’s as if they flunked human anatomy.
Erma BombeckStylistically, I love make-up. I love doing my own make-up and stuff, but clothes-wise, I actually didn’t ever really care. Initially the fashion world was more interested in me than the music world, which was strange when I first started singing.
Lana Del ReyI try never to wear my own clothes, I pretend I’m someone else.
David ByrneThere are many times when a woman will ask another girl friend how she likes her new hat. She will reply, ‚Fine,‘ but slap her hand to her forehead the minute the girl leaves to yipe, ‚What a horror!‘
Marilyn MonroeI see so many guys, really athletic guys, wearing pleats and I just shake my head. Like, Tiger Woods used to wear pleated pants! I’m like, ‚C’mon, Tiger!‘
Tom BradyAt one time, I was very angry. I even treated fashion like a kind of crusade: you were either with us or against us, that kind of feeling. Now I know we need ideas, not kicking down a door.
Vivienne WestwoodIt’s every girl’s dream to be a cover girl!
RihannaI very rarely watch my own fashion shows, but the makeup for my Fall 2011 show was just brilliant.
Vivienne WestwoodNo change in musical style will survive unless it is accompanied by a change in clothing style. Rock is to dress up to.
Frank ZappaIt never mattered to me that people in school didn’t think that country music was cool, and they made fun of me for it – though it did matter to me that I was not wearing the clothes that everybody was wearing at that moment. But at some point, I was just like, ‚I like wearing sundresses and cowboy boots.‘
Taylor SwiftI still derive immense pleasure from remembering how many hod-carrying brickies were encouraged to put on lurex tights and mince up and down the high street, having been assured by know-it-alls like me that a smidgen of blusher really attracted the birds.
David BowieI wouldn’t wear tiny amounts of clothing in my real life so I don’t think it’s necessary to wear that stuff in photo-shoots.
Taylor SwiftI love a pair of sexy heels with jeans, a nice jacket, or a little dress.
Beyonce KnowlesFashion is made to become unfashionable.
Coco ChanelThe French have got taste.
Vivienne WestwoodWhen I am putting looks together, I dare myself to make something work. I always look for the most interesting silhouette or something that’s a little off, but I have to figure it out. I have to make it me. I think that’s the thrill in fashion.
RihannaFashion is architecture: it is a matter of proportions.
Coco ChanelFashion is that thing that saved me from being sad.
Lady GagaDoing collections, doing fashion is like a non-stop dialogue.
