T-shirts for ten dollars are even more fashion today than expensive fashion.

I 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.

My 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.

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.

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.

The first duty of a state is to see that every child born therein shall be well housed, clothed, fed and educated till it attains years of discretion.

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

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.

If I can get my dress on, my weight is under control.

I wear the national dress because it is the most natural and the most becoming for an Indian.

I’m not sure what I think about current fashion, though. A few years ago, I would have said it’s really, really bad and you hardly ever see anybody looking good. There must be some very good designers in the world.

Joan of Arc had style. Jesus had style.

I would like to be a one-man multinational fashion phenomenon.

The present condition of fame is merely fashion.

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

I’ve worn dresses from all different price ranges, and the thing that couture dresses have in common is that the fit is amazing.

If 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?

You’d be surprised how much it costs to look this cheap!

I think style is being so comfortable and confident in what you’re wearing. That’s what style is, ‚cause everybody’s got different style.

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

Dressing up is a bore. At a certain age, you decorate yourself to attract the opposite sex, and at a certain age, I did that. But I’m past that age.

I 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!‘

I didn’t used to wear a watch. Now I have a SPOT watch, which I wear all the time.

Regardless of what our national credit rating is, people will always want a roof over their heads, food on their tables, fuel for their cars, and clothes on their backs.

A 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.

Punk was defined by an attitude rather than a musical style.

Great men are seldom over-scrupulous in the arrangement of their attire.

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.

Any man may be in good spirits and good temper when he’s well dressed. There ain’t much credit in that.

Sometimes, wearing a scarf and a polo coat and no makeup and with a certain attitude of walking, I go shopping or just look at people living. But then, you know, there will be a few teenagers who are kind of sharp, and they’ll say, ‚Hey, just a minute. You know who I think that is?‘ And they’ll start tailing me. And I don’t mind.

Bravery never goes out of fashion.

Any colour – so long as it’s black.

A lot of the reason my look is the way it is, is because it’s really easy to put on a sundress every night if I have to perform – or just wear jeans every day and a flannel or something.

I barely can go shopping for clothes. I find it difficult to walk into stores. The whole thing bores me so much.

Fashion fades, only style remains the same.

In 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.

I don’t notice anybody unless they look great, and every now and again they do, and they are usually 70.

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

I try never to wear my own clothes, I pretend I’m someone else.

I buy expensive suits. They just look cheap on me.

I don’t care how many beauty treatments you have, I don’t care which bag you’re carrying – you have to have a dress.

Dignity, and even holiness too, sometimes, are more questions of coat and waistcoat than some people imagine.

Silence is the element in which great things fashion themselves together.

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.

Fashion is life-enhancing, and I think it’s a lovely, generous thing to do for other people.

I love Dolce & Gabbana. I love Versace. I love the crazy, more eccentric stuff.

Everyone has their style and your style explains a lot about who you are – you feel me? I’ve had style since childhood, so I like to dress how I feel. But maybe I get carried away by some trends.

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.

With a suit, always wear big British shoes, the ones with large welts. There’s nothing worse than dainty little Italian jobs at the end of the leg line.

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

Everyone looks at your watch and it represents who you are, your values and your personal style.

Back in the day, I would wear up to 45 pounds of gold. It would take me four hours to get dressed!

There are charms made only for distant admiration.

I don’t like to write like God. It is only because you never do it, though, that the critics think you can’t do it.

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

Be careless in your dress if you must, but keep a tidy soul.

When an author is too meticulous about his style, you may presume that his mind is frivolous and his content flimsy.

I modelled my looks on the town tramp.

I like to look good, my friend.

When 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.

What do I wear in bed? Why, Chanel No. 5, of course.
