Let us not be too particular; it is better to have old secondhand diamonds than none at all.
Mark TwainI don’t feel very comfortable defending my fashion except to say that people don’t have to buy it. You do have to consume. You have to live. If you’ve got the money to be able to afford it, then it’s really good to buy something from me, but don’t buy too much.
Vivienne WestwoodPerhaps one of the most difficult things for us to do is to choose a notable and joyous dress for men. There would be more joy in life if we were to accustom ourselves to use all the beautiful colours we can in fashioning our own clothes.
Oscar WildeI didn’t used to wear a watch. Now I have a SPOT watch, which I wear all the time.
Bill GatesI just dress like… I’m an old black man. Sorry! Like I’m an old Jewish black man. I just dress like it’s still the ’50s.
Amy WinehouseI saw a subliminal advertising executive, but only for a second.
Steven WrightWhen it comes down to my brand, We the Best, we’re about the people and whoever is passionate and in love the way I’m in love when it comes down to the headphones I’m promoting.
DJ KhaledThe difference between humans and other mammals is that we know how to accessorize.
Madeleine AlbrightWhen an author is too meticulous about his style, you may presume that his mind is frivolous and his content flimsy.
Lucius Annaeus SenecaPop music can absorb so many peculiar talents, ranging from the completely nonmusical poseur who just uses music as a kind of springboard for a sense of style, to people who just love putting all that complicated stuff together, brick by brick, on their computers, to people like me who like playing conceptual games and being surprised.
Brian EnoIt’s every girl’s dream to be a cover girl!
RihannaI’m like 6’2 when I wear heels, so I tend to wear cowboy boots a lot.
Taylor SwiftThere have been several Duchesses of Westminster but there is only one Chanel!
Coco ChanelI liked watching Rossi, his style, his colours and everything. He was someone I looked up to and until now he is still my only hero. He is the king of motorbikes and most people like Rossi mainly because he comes across as a pretty fun and good character. He is cool and has a good style and look.
Lando NorrisI’m a really artistic person, and so, with the live stuff, there’s a lot that I think is really cool. Beyonce and Rihanna have all these dancers. So with the live costumes and video costumes, I’d really like to have my vision. The way that I want people to dress is very specific. I love fashion.
Billie EilishI would never do a commercial if I thought it was offensive to anyone.
Mr. TElegance does not consist in putting on a new dress.
Coco ChanelA lot of people have said I’d have probably done better in my career if I hadn’t looked so cheap and gaudy. But I dress to be comfortable for me, and you shouldn’t be blamed because you want to look pretty.
Dolly PartonI was the first person to have a punk rock hairstyle.
Vivienne WestwoodClothes if they are not well cut, you can kill nobody. A building poorly built can kill people. It’s a much more difficult work. I would not compare myself with that.
Karl LagerfeldIn 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 WestwoodI would like to be a one-man multinational fashion phenomenon.
Karl LagerfeldI 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 never expected to see the day when girls would get sunburned in the places they now do.
Will RogersBut, the thing is, since I always had my own little shop and direct access to the public, I’ve been able to build up a technique without marketing people ever telling me what the public wants.
Vivienne WestwoodI always say that women should wear whatever makes them feel good about themselves. That’s what I always try to do.
Michelle ObamaLiverpool people are famous for liking clothes and fashion; they are very social and lively people, and we know that they like clothes.
Vivienne WestwoodI like sweaters. I have a sweater obsession, I guess.
DrakeWhen I was 8 years old, it mattered what my favorite singer said and wore and expressed opinions about.
Taylor SwiftWe know but a few men, a great many coats and breeches.
Henry David ThoreauI always wear the kind of stuff that makes you overheat and die.
Billie EilishFashion is very important. It is life-enhancing and, like everything that gives pleasure, it is worth doing well.
Vivienne WestwoodI very rarely watch my own fashion shows, but the makeup for my Fall 2011 show was just brilliant.
Vivienne WestwoodMy style offstage is so different from onstage. I love a pair of sexy heels with jeans, a nice jacket, or a little dress.
Beyonce KnowlesThe finest clothing made is a person’s own skin, but, of course, society demands something more than this.
Mark TwainFashion breaks my heart.
Kanye WestDesigners want me to dress like Spring, in billowing things. I don’t feel like Spring. I feel like a warm red Autumn.
Marilyn MonroeIn a meat-eating world, wearing leather for shoes and clothes and even handbags, the discussion of fur is childish.
Karl LagerfeldWhen 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.
RihannaI’m 5’11, so when I wear heels, it’s definitely a really good view that I have. I’m, like, 6’2 when I wear heels, so I tend to wear cowboy boots a lot.
Taylor SwiftI’m not big on flak jackets and tie-dyed shirts. You know, that’s not me.
Joe BidenI started wearing Ugg when I was, like, 13 or 14, in high school, and my mom got me a pair for Christmas one year.
Tom BradyBritishness is just a way of putting things together and a certain don’t care attitude about clothes. You don’t care, you just do it and it looks great.
Vivienne WestwoodMy clothes are very popular in Japan.
Vivienne WestwoodBut Apple really beats to a different drummer. I used to say that Apple should be the Sony of this business, but in reality, I think Apple should be the Apple of this business.
Steve JobsFor you to sleep well at night, the aesthetic, the quality, has to be carried all the way through.
Steve JobsI want my wardrobe to be full of good clothes, so that when I’m deciding what to wear, I don’t run out of options. I love shopping!
Virat KohliIf I decide to make a coat red in the show, it’s not just red, I think: is it communist red? Is it cherry cordial? Is it ruby red? Or is it apple red? Or the big red balloon red?
Lady GagaI think any man who lets a woman pick what he should wear… I mean, you gotta draw the line somewhere as a man. I see these guys, ‚My wife told me to wear this!‘ And I just shake my head.
Tom BradyLet advertisers spend the same amount of money improving their product that they do on advertising and they wouldn’t have to advertise it.
Will RogersDoing collections, doing fashion is like a non-stop dialogue.
Karl LagerfeldI’ve had big record label presidents look me in the face and say, ‚Your music sucks, you don’t know who you are, your music is all over the place, and we don’t know how to market this stuff. Pick a lane and come back to us.‘
Bruno MarsI love a pair of sexy heels with jeans, a nice jacket, or a little dress.
Beyonce KnowlesMy style has always been my own, just like my flow and style.
Bad BunnyI am attracted to people who make this effort in knowing what suits them – they are individual and stylish.
Vivienne WestwoodAdvertising is the rattling of a stick inside a swill bucket.
George OrwellA lot of people in our industry haven’t had very diverse experiences. So they don’t have enough dots to connect, and they end up with very linear solutions without a broad perspective on the problem. The broader one’s understanding of the human experience, the better design we will have.
Steve JobsApple took the edge off the word ‚computer.‘
Steve JobsHonestly, I like everything, boyish girls, girlish boys, the heavy and the skinny.
Angelina JolieI’ve always had my own access to the public, because I started off making my clothes for a little shop, and so I’ve always had people buying them. I could always sell a few, even if I couldn’t sell a lot, and somehow my business grew because people happened to like it. I’m in a fortunate position.
