A lot of the jewelry that I wear are fan gifts because they’re so awesome and they give me great presents.

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.

Doing collections, doing fashion is like a non-stop dialogue.

Jewelry and pins have been worn throughout history as symbols of power, sending messages. Interestingly enough, it was mostly men who wore the jewelry in various times, and obviously crowns were part of signals that were being sent throughout history by people of rank.

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 go to all these photo shoots, and each time I figure out something new about myself and what I want to wear.

I have tennis shoes with little rhinestones that I slip on if I exercise. But I always wear heels, even around the house. I’m such a short little thing, I can’t reach my kitchen cabinets.

For my generation, the bomber jacket is like a replacement for the suit jacket. It’s a piece that men wear every day, and it’s something that I would wear for any occasion, whether it’s on the street or going to an awards ceremony.

I like either skinny jeans or the ripped, casual, super-sloppy boyfriend jeans. A lot of ripped jeans. They are so early 2000, but they are so cute, I love them. I love surfer jeans, too!

Honestly, I like everything, boyish girls, girlish boys, the heavy and the skinny.

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.

The effect of music on fashion has been immense, especially hip-hop and urban music.

The one thing I couldn’t identify with was the blue cowboy outfit he put on.

I love a pair of sexy heels with jeans, a nice jacket, or a little dress.

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

It is always better to be slightly underdressed.

Let us not be too particular; it is better to have old secondhand diamonds than none at all.

I’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.

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

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

Buy clothes the size you want to wear.

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

When it comes down to it, glam rock was all very amusing. At the time, it was funny, then a few years later it became sort of serious-looking and a bit foreboding.

It is not possible for a man to be elegant without a touch of femininity.

No matter what, I always make it home for Christmas. I love to go to my Tennessee Mountain Home and invite all of my nieces and nephews and their spouses and kids and do what we all like to do – eat, laugh, trade presents and just enjoy each other… and sometimes I even dress up like Santa Claus!

The importance of logo into today’s fashion is un! be! Lievable!

My wife dresses to kill. She cooks the same way.

You have a more interesting life if you wear impressive clothes.

I like a colorful sock. I’m a sock man.

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.

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.

At 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.

My fans kept asking where they could get clothes like ‚Destiny’s Child’s‘, so it was only natural for us to do a clothing line. I was adamant about not putting my name on something that I didn’t love.

In history people dressed much better than we do today.

I cap myself when I shop; I don’t like to spend extravagant amounts on clothes. But, I do get lent clothes for events, it’s scary to wear something so expensive, but I feel really pampered.

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

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.

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

More than anything, I like a jacket. You can do anything with a great jacket, the bigger the better. You can have any silhouette underneath. It gives you an attitude. It makes a gown look cool.

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.

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.

The French have got taste.

I 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.

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

No change in musical style will survive unless it is accompanied by a change in clothing style. Rock is to dress up to.

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

When I was with Andy Warhol, I thought, ‚God, his wig looks cheaper than mine!‘

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.

I enjoy wearing pins, and nobody tells me to do it.

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

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

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.

I like the discipline of well-cut, impeccable clothes. I think it’s a very healthy discipline.

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

I always loved advertising. If I hadn’t been in fashion, I’d have been in advertising.

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?‘

Fresh sneakers are important on a man. It’s like a new pair of boxers or a new pair of socks.

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

When the NBA adopted their uniform that they had to wear, I thought that was very interesting. And you see the way NBA players dress: It’s very cool.

Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months.
