I don’t care how many beauty treatments you have, I don’t care which bag you’re carrying – you have to have a dress.

The French have got taste.

I put cocoa butter all over my face and my iconic belly and my arms and legs. Why live rough? Live smooth.

I am growing handsome very fast indeed! I expect I shall be the belle of Amherst when I reach my 17th year. I don’t doubt that I shall have perfect crowds of admirers at that age. Then how I shall delight to make them await my bidding, and with what delight shall I witness their suspense while I make my final decision.

The perception of beauty is a moral test.

Nothing is more obstinate than a fashionable consensus.

When I admire the wonders of a sunset or the beauty of the moon, my soul expands in the worship of the creator.

Elegance is achieved when all that is superfluous has been discarded and the human being discovers simplicity and concentration: the simpler and more sober the posture, the more beautiful it will be.

I wouldn’t wear tiny amounts of clothing in my real life so I don’t think it’s necessary to wear that stuff in photo-shoots.

The beauty of a woman must be seen from in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides.

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

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.

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 feel very comfortable defending my fashion except to say that people don’t have to buy it. You do have to consume. You have to live. If you’ve got the money to be able to afford it, then it’s really good to buy something from me, but don’t buy too much.

Young people can create beautiful things.

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.

When we contemplate the whole globe as one great dewdrop, striped and dotted with continents and islands, flying through space with other stars all singing and shining together as one, the whole universe appears as an infinite storm of beauty.

Until I was a teenager, I used red pokeberries for lipstick and a burnt matchstick for eyeliner. I used honeysuckle for perfume.

Personal beauty is a greater recommendation than any letter of reference.

Plain women know more about men than beautiful women do.

The woods are lovely, dark and deep. But I have promises to keep, and miles to go before I sleep.

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

For every moment of triumph, for every instance of beauty, many souls must be trampled.

Beauty is everywhere a welcome guest.

Nature is wont to hide herself.

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!

Not being beautiful was the true blessing. Not being beautiful forced me to develop my inner resources. The pretty girl has a handicap to overcome.

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.

The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mode but the true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It is the caring that she lovingly gives the passion that she shows. The beauty of a woman grows with the passing years.

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.

Beauty without expression is boring.

I’m not big on flak jackets and tie-dyed shirts. You know, that’s not me.

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

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?‘

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 having an unlimited supply of cocoa butter.

It is not sufficient to see and to know the beauty of a work. We must feel and be affected by it.

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.

Beauty is a manifestation of secret natural laws, which otherwise would have been hidden from us forever.

I have two main hair people I work with. They’re always with me. I’m like, ‚I’m bored! I wanna change my hair!‘ That’s the good thing about a weave. You can do whatever with it.

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

Love of beauty is taste. The creation of beauty is art.

Beauty is an outward gift, which is seldom despised, except by those to whom it has been refused.

There is nothing that makes its way more directly into the soul than beauty.

In judging of a beautiful statue, the aesthetic faculty is absolutely and completely gratified by the splendid curves of those marble lips that are dumb to our complaint, the noble modelling of those limbs that are powerless to help us.

Designers want me to dress like Spring, in billowing things. I don’t feel like Spring. I feel like a warm red Autumn.

Science is a beautiful gift to humanity; we should not distort it.

I would like to be a one-man multinational fashion phenomenon.

Any colour – so long as it’s black.

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.

It never mattered to me that people in school didn’t think that country music was cool, and they made fun of me for it – though it did matter to me that I was not wearing the clothes that everybody was wearing at that moment. But at some point, I was just like, ‚I like wearing sundresses and cowboy boots.‘

I love soft-cotton white T-shirts.

Imagination disposes of everything; it creates beauty, justice, and happiness, which are everything in this world.

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.

The fashion of the world is to avoid cost, and you encounter it.

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.

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

I read the Bible to myself; I’ll take any translation, any edition, and read it aloud, just to hear the language, hear the rhythm, and remind myself how beautiful English is.

The value of beauty and inspiration is very much underrated, no question. But I want to be clear: I’m not trying to be anyone’s savior. I’m just trying to think about the future and not be sad.

Beauty is eternity gazing at itself in a mirror.

In this world, emotion has become suspect – the accepted style is smooth, antiseptic and passionless.
