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’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.

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

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

Stylistically, I love make-up. I love doing my own make-up and stuff, but clothes-wise, I actually didn’t ever really care. Initially the fashion world was more interested in me than the music world, which was strange when I first started singing.

I am, and ever will be, a white socks, pocket protector, nerdy engineer.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

In a budget, how important is art versus music versus athletics versus computer programming? At the end of the day, some of those trade-offs will be made politically.

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

It is not how much one makes but to what purpose one spends.

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

I just love to shop. If I could, I would shop every single day in every single store and spend all of my money which, you know, I do anyway.

Obviously black matches with everything.

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

Don’t dress to kill, dress to survive.

Music is part of the life of fashion, too.

We know but a few men, a great many coats and breeches.

I want my wardrobe to be full of good clothes, so that when I’m deciding what to wear, I don’t run out of options. I love shopping!

Morality is a private and costly luxury.

There is a luxury in self-reproach. When we blame ourselves we feel no one else has a right to blame us.

Liverpool people are famous for liking clothes and fashion; they are very social and lively people, and we know that they like clothes.

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

I’m filthy rich!

The saddest thing I can imagine is to get used to luxury.

I make decisions all day, so it’s nice for a woman like me to go to dinner and have the man take the menu and say, ‚Let me order.‘ Other women would be offended by that, but I’m like, ‚Good. Because I can’t make one more decision today.‘ I want someone to rub my feet without being asked.

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.

It’s only I have seen enough of it and the funny thing is now, I know that I’m skinny, because I know there are even smaller clothes in the store. I think I’m big, when I was big, I never thought about it.

Riches have never fascinated me, unless combined with the greatest charm or distinction.

When you’re 25 or 30, you know, you can’t wear lime-green eye shadow anymore.

There are many times when a woman will ask another girl friend how she likes her new hat. She will reply, ‚Fine,‘ but slap her hand to her forehead the minute the girl leaves to yipe, ‚What a horror!‘

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

I have a nice office. I have a nice house… So I’m not denying myself some great things. I just don’t happen to have expensive hobbies.

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

Don’t judge. I used to buy underwear because I didn’t do my laundry.

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

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

Give me five minutes with a person’s checkbook, and I will tell you where their heart is.

If you would know the value of money, go and try to borrow some.

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.

Acting helped me as I was growing up. It helped me learn about myself, helped me travel, helped me understand life, express myself, all those wonderful things. So I’m very, very grateful; it’s a fun job. It’s a luxury.

Rather go to bed without dinner than to rise in debt.

Eat to please thyself, but dress to please others.

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

I met this wonderful girl at Macy’s. She was buying clothes and I was putting Slinkies on the escalator.

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

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.

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

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 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.

It is always better to be slightly underdressed.

What consumerism really is, at its worst is getting people to buy things that don’t actually improve their lives.

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.

When we started to do punk, we put all of these things together to create the look of an urban guerrilla – a rebel.

I went to a general store but they wouldn’t let me buy anything specific.

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