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.
Dolly PartonThe difference between humans and other mammals is that we know how to accessorize.
Madeleine AlbrightWhen I was fourteen and first started going out, I always wanted to be the opposite of everyone else. So I would go to the club in a polo T-shirt and pants and sneakers and a hat on backward, just so I would not be dressed like other girls.
RihannaElegance is refusal.
Coco ChanelI like to be able to wear something that is appropriate for wherever the day takes me: to work, on a hike and then out to dinner. I like to take the formality out of the day’s schedule and be ready for any off-road detour.
Matthew McConaugheyGive a girl the right shoes, and she can conquer the world.
Marilyn MonroeI modelled my looks on the town tramp.
Dolly PartonWell, we’re living in a material world, and I’m a material girl… or boy.
Adam SandlerDon’t dress to kill, dress to survive.
Karl LagerfeldBuy clothes the size you want to wear.
Karl LagerfeldFashion is architecture: it is a matter of proportions.
Coco ChanelMy 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.
Beyonce KnowlesIn a sense I portray myself in a very androgynous way, and I love androgyny.
Lady GagaI have more suits than days of the year that I get to wear them.
Tom BradyDesigners want me to dress like Spring, in billowing things. I don’t feel like Spring. I feel like a warm red Autumn.
Marilyn MonroeIf 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?
Lady GagaFashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months.
Oscar WildeI never look at fashion magazines. I find them incredibly boring.
Vivienne WestwoodI was walking down the street wearing glasses when the prescription ran out.
Steven WrightThe 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.
Vivienne WestwoodIt’s every girl’s dream to be a cover girl!
RihannaDon’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.
Vivienne WestwoodWhen it comes down to it, glam rock was all very amusing. At the time, it was funny, then a few years later it became sort of serious-looking and a bit foreboding.
David BowieFashion is one thing, but style is another.
Bad BunnyI try not to go around looking like a hag.
Dolly PartonI love a pair of sexy heels with jeans, a nice jacket, or a little dress.
Beyonce KnowlesThere was a moment when designers draped in ermine would be reading Proust, or pretending to.
Karl LagerfeldFashion 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 ChanelWhen 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.
RihannaI love ripped jeans! They are flattering. I’m very petite, so I think they make my butt look lovely.
Ariana GrandePeople ask me where I got my singing style. I didn’t copy my style from anybody.
Elvis PresleyPop 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 EnoMore 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.
RihannaIn words, as fashions, the same rule will hold; Alike fantastic, if too new, or old: Be not the first by whom the new are tried, Nor yet the last to lay the old aside.
Alexander PopeObviously black matches with everything.
Bad BunnyClothes make the man. Naked people have little or no influence on society.
Mark TwainI like Tom Ford a lot because it’s so classic and has great quality. I wear a lot of Rag & Bone.
Tom BradyIn a meat-eating world, wearing leather for shoes and clothes and even handbags, the discussion of fur is childish.
Karl LagerfeldThe 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 JohnsonI very rarely watch my own fashion shows, but the makeup for my Fall 2011 show was just brilliant.
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’m not big on flak jackets and tie-dyed shirts. You know, that’s not me.
Joe BidenIt is not possible for a man to be elegant without a touch of femininity.
Vivienne WestwoodIf you’re too big to fit into fashion, then you just have to do your own fashion.
Vivienne WestwoodI 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.
Vivienne WestwoodThe stylish kids on the street, they’re the ones that set the trends. The designers see what they’re doing and go and design their line and sell it back to the same kids, and it’s like, why not go directly to the source?
RihannaI’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 WestwoodFashion is very important. It is life-enhancing and, like everything that gives pleasure, it is worth doing well.
Vivienne WestwoodMy son has followed fashion since he was a punk. He and I agree that fashion is about sex.
Vivienne WestwoodI like a colorful sock. I’m a sock man.
George H. W. BushMy 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.
Beyonce KnowlesI want to look my best for God. So many people have the attitude that if you’re a Christian you’ve got to dress bad, wear an old color, not do anything to your hair, have nothing. It’s no wonder that Christianity is not very attractive. I mean, how many people do you know in a Western culture that’s going to go, ‚Yeah, give me some of that?‘
Joyce MeyerWhat do I wear in bed? Why, Chanel No. 5, of course.
Marilyn MonroeLook for the woman in the dress. If there is no woman, there is no dress.
Coco ChanelHonestly, I like everything, boyish girls, girlish boys, the heavy and the skinny.
Angelina JolieI can tell you all kinds of moral tales, but fashion and reality are vaguely different.
Karl LagerfeldA 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.
Lana Del ReyMy clothes are very popular in Japan.
Vivienne WestwoodIt is always better to be slightly underdressed.
Coco ChanelWhen I get dressed, it’s like freestyling.
Bad Bunny
