Any colour – so long as it’s black.

Where lipstick is concerned, the important thing is not color, but to accept God’s final word on where your lips end.

Elegance is refusal.

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

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.

There have been several Duchesses of Westminster but there is only one Chanel!

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

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.

In 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.

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

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

I’m not trying to be fashionable. Never was!

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.

Don’t just eat McDonald’s, get something a bit better. Eat a salad. That’s what fashion is. It’s something that is a bit better.

Digital technology is the same revolution as adding sound to pictures and the same revolution as adding color to pictures. Nothing more and nothing less.

It costs a lot of money to look this cheap.

Good humor is one of the best articles of dress one can wear in society.

I think I have something tonight that’s not quite correct for evening wear. Blue suede shoes.

Fashion fades, only style remains the same.

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

When I get dressed, it’s like freestyling.

That is why, no matter how desperate the predicament is, I am always very much in earnest about clutching my cane, straightening my derby hat and fixing my tie, even though I have just landed on my head.

White… is not a mere absence of colour; it is a shining and affirmative thing, as fierce as red, as definite as black… God paints in many colours; but He never paints so gorgeously, I had almost said so gaudily, as when He paints in white.

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

Bravery never goes out of fashion.

I love wearing whatever is comfortable, and that could be something which was in trend years ago. So, I don’t follow fashion.

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.

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

The soul becomes dyed with the color of its thoughts.

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

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.

Black-and-white always looks modern, whatever that word means.

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!

If you gonna wear the mohawk, you stick with it. You don’t just be dibby-dabbing. You make up your mind.

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

God never meant that people were to wear clothes. He meant we were to be nude. But we were in a state of innocence. Then sin came into the human race and became a blood poisoning.

At twelve I looked like a girl of seventeen. My body was developed and shapely. I still wore the blue dress and the blouse the orphanage provided. They made me look like an overgrown lummox.

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.

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

Fashion is architecture: it is a matter of proportions.

There was a moment when designers draped in ermine would be reading Proust, or pretending to.

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.

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

We based the look on rock ‚n roll right from the beginning.

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.

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

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

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

Fashion is merely an opinion. And I’ve got a lot of opinions.

She said the object and color in the materials around us actually have a physical effect on us, on how we feel.

Joan of Arc had style. Jesus had style.

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

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

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.

A fashion is nothing but an induced epidemic.

The connection between dress and war is not far to seek; your finest clothes are those you wear as soldiers.

Don’t dress to kill, dress to survive.

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’m like 6’2 when I wear heels, so I tend to wear cowboy boots a lot.

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.
