I think tattoos are horrible. It’s like living in a Pucci dress full-time.

Any colour – so long as it’s black.

I love dresses, and I’ve definitely thought about designing them someday. I just want to make sure that I wait until the time is perfect and I can do it right.

I always wear the kind of stuff that makes you overheat and die.

My son has followed fashion since he was a punk. He and I agree that fashion is about sex.

Look for the woman in the dress. If there is no woman, there is no dress.

Fashion is here to help make people look very important. If they have good taste and choose what suits them, I give them options on how they can do that. It’s always sexy, and it’s always with the same result: making women look fantastic.

Fashion has become so whatever. I don’t think there are any stones left to unturn.

Sometimes I can’t figure designers out. It’s as if they flunked human anatomy.

When I was 8 years old, it mattered what my favorite singer said and wore and expressed opinions about.

I am attracted to people who make this effort in knowing what suits them – they are individual and stylish.

Every generation laughs at the old fashions, but follows religiously the new.

There 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!‘

Songs are my diaries; they always have been. You have to put your trust in everyone because putting down those real, personal details and thoughts that make a song authentic also opens you right up. I am constantly misunderstood; a lot of people just don’t get me.

When 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.

Perhaps 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.

Clothes make the man. Naked people have little or no influence on society.

There is not so variable a thing in nature as a lady’s head-dress.

I’m big on what’s in good taste.

I don’t feel comfortable defending my clothes. But if you’ve got the money to afford them, then buy something from me. Just don’t buy too much.

The 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.

It is only the modern that ever becomes old-fashioned.

In a meat-eating world, wearing leather for shoes and clothes and even handbags, the discussion of fur is childish.

I wouldn’t wanna go out not looking like the Dolly people have come to know, because I’ve come to know her that way, too.

I like sweaters. I have a sweater obsession, I guess.

Everything has changed, and nothing has changed more than the world of fashion.

Fashion is very important. It is life-enhancing and, like everything that gives pleasure, it is worth doing well.

We know but a few men, a great many coats and breeches.

It’s every girl’s dream to be a cover girl!

The thing that makes my clothes really different is that, number one, they are really great designs; they’re not tacky; they are very professional; the design is made from lots of decisions.

All the awards in the world, you can get into all the nightclubs, they’ll send you the nicest clothes. Nothing better than walking into your dad’s restaurant and seeing a smile on his face and knowing that your mom and dad and your sister are real proud of you.

There is much to support the view that it is clothes that wear us, and not we, them; we may make them take the mould of arm or breast, but they mould our hearts, our brains, our tongues to their liking.

The fashion I’ve acquired over the years is so sacred to me – from costumes to couture, high fashion to punk wear I’ve collected from my secret international hot spots. I keep everything in an enormous archive in Hollywood.

I never look at fashion magazines. I find them incredibly boring.

I very rarely watch my own fashion shows, but the makeup for my Fall 2011 show was just brilliant.

The concept of commercialism in the fashion and art world is looked down upon. You know, just to think, ‚What amount of creativity does it take to make something that masses of people like?‘ And, ‚How does creativity apply across the board?‘

I started wearing Ugg when I was, like, 13 or 14, in high school, and my mom got me a pair for Christmas one year.

I was the first person to have a punk rock hairstyle.

Fashion is that thing that saved me from being sad.

When we started to do punk, we put all of these things together to create the look of an urban guerrilla – a rebel.

Fashion is architecture: it is a matter of proportions.

I just use fashion as an excuse to talk about politics. Because I’m a fashion designer, it gives me a voice, which is really good.

Bravery never goes out of fashion.

The finest clothing made is a person’s own skin, but, of course, society demands something more than this.

I really focus on my jeans and sweaters for them to fit really well. There was a time that wasn’t the case.

I saw a woman wearing a sweatshirt with Guess on it. I said, Thyroid problem?

In history people dressed much better than we do today.

I think my style is probably more of a classic look.

Liverpool people are famous for liking clothes and fashion; they are very social and lively people, and we know that they like clothes.

It’s a representation of yourself, and you can express a lot of your creativity with what your wearing.

Even as a kid, I wore J.C. Penney plain-pocket jeans because they were plain pockets. I didn’t want anybody’s name on my backside. I personally don’t like to wear clothing that is named for somebody or has someone’s likeness all over it.

I just like tattoos.

I like Tom Ford a lot because it’s so classic and has great quality. I wear a lot of Rag & Bone.

I think dress, hairstyle and make-up are the crucial factors in projecting an attractive persona and give one the chance to enhance one’s best physical features.

Clothes 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.

The most important thing I can tell you about aging is this: If you really feel that you want to have an off-the-shoulder blouse and some big beads and thong sandals and a dirndl skirt and a magnolia in your hair, do it. Even if you’re wrinkled.

I try to really capitalize off of what other rappers really can’t do. There are opportunities that rappers I love simply can’t get, because… you know… I don’t have the tattoos; I have a different image.

Fashion is always of the time in which you live. It is not something standing alone. But the grand problem, the most important problem, is to rejeuvenate women. To make women look young. Then their outlook changes. They feel more joyous.

Elegance 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.

I never expected to see the day when girls would get sunburned in the places they now do.

I 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.
