Bling is over. Red carpet covered with rhinestones is out. I call it ‚the new modesty.‘

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.

Well, we’re living in a material world, and I’m a material girl… or boy.

Elegance does not consist in putting on a new dress.

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.

Luxury must be comfortable, otherwise it is not luxury.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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!

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

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 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.

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?

Fashion is only the attempt to realize art in living forms and social intercourse.

I’m 5’11, so when I wear heels, it’s definitely a really good view that I have. I’m, like, 6’2 when I wear heels, so I tend to wear cowboy boots a lot.

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

Eat to please thyself, but dress to please others.

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

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

It is always better to be slightly underdressed.

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

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

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

If you’re too big to fit into fashion, then you just have to do your own fashion.

My mother was a very natural woman. She never spoiled herself, never wore make-up, and wore modest jewellery, but she always had a few special items for when she wanted to feel like a lady. One of those special items – and I remember it because it seemed so elegant – was her Guerlain powder.

My jewelry’s all fake – from Claire’s. Or I get it from my mom’s boutique in Barbados.

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

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

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

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

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.

Give a girl the right shoes, and she can conquer the world.

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

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.

Nothing is more obstinate than a fashionable consensus.

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

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

I try not to go around looking like a hag.

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.

Any colour – so long as it’s black.

The present condition of fame is merely fashion.

If you saw Queen Elizabeth it would be amazing, she came from another planet. She was so attractive in what she was wearing.

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

I never said I was the best in anything. I never said I’m an icon. The world decides all of that.

Joan of Arc had style. Jesus had style.

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.

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

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

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

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 wouldn’t say that anyone in fashion is on my side. I don’t think there’s anyone on my side.

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

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