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.
Paulo CoelhoI enjoy wearing pins, and nobody tells me to do it.
Madeleine AlbrightAll 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.
Lady GagaMy clothes are very popular in Japan.
Vivienne WestwoodI think tattoos are horrible. It’s like living in a Pucci dress full-time.
Karl LagerfeldEven 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.
Matthew McConaugheyI modelled my looks on the town tramp.
Dolly PartonThe Tea Party movement itself is maybe 15, 20 percent of the electorate. It’s relatively affluent, white, nativist. You know, it has rather traditional nativist streaks to it. But what is much more important, I think, is the – is its outrage.
Noam ChomskyI see that the fashion wears out more apparel than the man.
William ShakespeareWhen we started to do punk, we put all of these things together to create the look of an urban guerrilla – a rebel.
Vivienne WestwoodI think my style is probably more of a classic look.
Tom BradyI’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.
Billie EilishThe difference between humans and other mammals is that we know how to accessorize.
Madeleine AlbrightA lot of the jewelry that I wear are fan gifts because they’re so awesome and they give me great presents.
Taylor SwiftFashion has become so whatever. I don’t think there are any stones left to unturn.
Vivienne WestwoodStylistically, 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.
Lana Del ReyI love wearing whatever is comfortable, and that could be something which was in trend years ago. So, I don’t follow fashion.
Virat KohliPop music can absorb so many peculiar talents, ranging from the completely nonmusical poseur who just uses music as a kind of springboard for a sense of style, to people who just love putting all that complicated stuff together, brick by brick, on their computers, to people like me who like playing conceptual games and being surprised.
Brian EnoIt costs a lot of money to look this cheap.
Dolly PartonBe careless in your dress if you must, but keep a tidy soul.
Mark TwainFashion is not something that exists in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening.
Coco ChanelYou have a more interesting life if you wear impressive clothes.
Vivienne WestwoodNo change in musical style will survive unless it is accompanied by a change in clothing style. Rock is to dress up to.
Frank ZappaThe 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.
Dwayne JohnsonIt 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.‘
Taylor SwiftThe fashion of the world is to avoid cost, and you encounter it.
William ShakespeareLet us not be too particular; it is better to have old secondhand diamonds than none at all.
Mark TwainI’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.
Vivienne WestwoodI saw a woman wearing a sweatshirt with Guess on it. I said, Thyroid problem?
Arnold SchwarzeneggerI very rarely watch my own fashion shows, but the makeup for my Fall 2011 show was just brilliant.
Vivienne WestwoodLook for the woman in the dress. If there is no woman, there is no dress.
Coco ChanelI said I would never wear my gold again because it would be insensitive and disrespectful to all the people who died and lost everything in Katrina.
Mr. TThe body is meant to be seen, not all covered up.
Marilyn MonroeI’ve worn dresses from all different price ranges, and the thing that couture dresses have in common is that the fit is amazing.
Beyonce KnowlesI 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.
David BowieAll styles are good except the tiresome kind.
VoltaireI wouldn’t say that anyone in fashion is on my side. I don’t think there’s anyone on my side.
Kanye WestI always wear the kind of stuff that makes you overheat and die.
Billie EilishFor my generation, the bomber jacket is like a replacement for the suit jacket. It’s a piece that men wear every day, and it’s something that I would wear for any occasion, whether it’s on the street or going to an awards ceremony.
The WeekndMy 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.
Ariana GrandeI really focus on my jeans and sweaters for them to fit really well. There was a time that wasn’t the case.
Tom BradyI buy expensive suits. They just look cheap on me.
Warren BuffettIf you wear clothes that don’t suit you, you’re a fashion victim. You have to wear clothes that make you look better.
Vivienne WestwoodMy son has followed fashion since he was a punk. He and I agree that fashion is about sex.
Vivienne WestwoodI just use fashion as an excuse to talk about politics. Because I’m a fashion designer, it gives me a voice, which is really good.
Vivienne WestwoodI like a colorful sock. I’m a sock man.
George H. W. BushI’m like 6’2 when I wear heels, so I tend to wear cowboy boots a lot.
Taylor SwiftI didn’t used to wear a watch. Now I have a SPOT watch, which I wear all the time.
Bill GatesMy wife dresses to kill. She cooks the same way.
Henny YoungmanJoan of Arc had style. Jesus had style.
Charles BukowskiIt’s every girl’s dream to be a cover girl!
RihannaThere was certainly, like, a rebellious, like, youthful rage in me. And there was also the fact of no getting away from fact that I am white, and you know, this is predominantly black music, you know.
EminemI 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.
Taylor SwiftOh yes, I love to do shoes. I’m not a fetishist but I love to do shoes.
Karl LagerfeldThe French have got taste.
Vivienne WestwoodI 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.
Vivienne WestwoodProbably my first couple years in the league, I started paying more attention to what I was wearing. Once I got a few bucks in my pocket and I could afford some nice things, and you get to go, ‚OK, let’s try some of these things.‘ And once you try something you like, you probably don’t change it much.
Tom BradyI don’t notice anybody unless they look great, and every now and again they do, and they are usually 70.
Vivienne WestwoodFashion breaks my heart.
Kanye WestI think I would like to go into modelling. Of course, I don’t know how to do it, and wouldn’t be any good at it if I did, so I’m going to employ someone to walk the catwalks on my behalf. It would still be me, of course.
