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

My performance outfits are very Marie Antoinette, sparkly corsets… and full skirts. And then we do another look that’s ’50s-inspired. Poufy skirts, big bows. Very fun, girlie and young, but otherwise, when I’m not in costume, I dress really normal.

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

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

Girdles and wire stays should have never been invented. No man wants to hug a padded bird cage.

The difference between humans and other mammals is that we know how to accessorize.

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

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.

People ask me where I got my singing style. I didn’t copy my style from anybody.

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 like to look good, my friend.

Fashion is that thing that saved me from being sad.

I love ripped jeans! They are flattering. I’m very petite, so I think they make my butt look lovely.

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

I love soft-cotton white T-shirts.

If I hadn’t been a woman, I’d be a drag queen for sure. I like all that flair and I’d be dressing up in them high heels and putting on the big hair. I’d be like Ru Paul.

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

A women who doesn’t wear perfume has no future.

In matters of style, swim with the current; in matters of principle, stand like a rock.

In a sense I portray myself in a very androgynous way, and I love androgyny.

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

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

I like to be able to wear something that is appropriate for wherever the day takes me: to work, on a hike and then out to dinner. I like to take the formality out of the day’s schedule and be ready for any off-road detour.

I don’t know who invented high heels, but all women owe him a lot.

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

I see that the fashion wears out more apparel than the man.

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

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

I have no models in Japanese literature. I created my own style, my own way.

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

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

In history people dressed much better than we do today.

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

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

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

I have more suits than days of the year that I get to wear them.

It was a strike against me that I didn’t wear baggy jeans and jerseys and that I never hustled, never sold drugs.

For me, bomber jackets are smart, but they are also street and have a lot of attitude.

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

We’re so trendy we can’t even escape ourselves.

To do a dull thing with style-now that’s what I call art.

Fashion is made to become unfashionable.

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.

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

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

Fashion breaks my heart.

The present condition of fame is merely fashion.

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

Luxury must be comfortable, otherwise it is not luxury.

Fashion is one thing, but style is another.

I can tell you all kinds of moral tales, but fashion and reality are vaguely different.

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

Elegance does not consist in putting on a new dress.

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.

My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor, and some style.

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.

I don’t care if you get up in the morning and don’t wash, don’t put any make-up on, don’t do your hair, even, but you have to have clothes if you want to look different.

I worked out a lot before I was 20. I was hard underneath. I had just a little padding. I was quilted. Always Chanel.

I 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.

I was walking down the street wearing glasses when the prescription ran out.
