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.

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.‘

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

More 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.

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

You’d be surprised how much it costs to look this cheap!

Eat to please thyself, but dress to please others.

In 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.

I 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.

I 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.

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

If you wear clothes that don’t suit you, you’re a fashion victim. You have to wear clothes that make you look better.

The French have got taste.

I think my style is probably more of a classic look.

Fashion is made to become unfashionable.

My style offstage is so different from onstage. I love a pair of sexy heels with jeans, a nice jacket, or a little dress.

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.

Clothes if they are not well cut, you can kill nobody. A building poorly built can kill people. It’s a much more difficult work. I would not compare myself with that.

If I’m in a bad mood, or if I’m uncomfortable, it’s probably what I’m wearing that’s making me feel that way.

The body is meant to be seen, not all covered up.

Fashion is merely an opinion. And I’ve got a lot of opinions.

I try not to go around looking like a hag.

I’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.

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?‘

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

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

You have a more interesting life if you wear impressive clothes.

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

Fashion is an imposition, a reign on freedom.

I buy expensive suits. They just look cheap on me.

In Italy they take cheap cloth and make it look expensive, but I take expensive cloth and make it look cheap. They just don’t understand.

I saw a woman wearing a sweatshirt with Guess on it. I said, Thyroid problem?

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

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.

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

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

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. I was adamant about not putting my name on something that I didn’t love.

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

There is not so variable a thing in nature as a lady’s head-dress.

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

A lot of the jewelry that I wear are fan gifts because they’re so awesome and they give me great presents.

There have been several Duchesses of Westminster but there is only one Chanel!

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

Fashion 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.

I’m easy to look like, so there are lots and lots of Dolly look-alikes.

I’ve worn dresses from all different price ranges, and the thing that couture dresses have in common is that the fit is amazing.

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

Fashion is very important. It is life-enhancing and, like everything that gives pleasure, it is worth doing well.

Be careless in your dress if you must, but keep a tidy soul.

I modelled my looks on the town tramp.

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

Fashion has become so whatever. I don’t think there are any stones left to unturn.

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.

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

The present condition of fame is merely fashion.

Clothing & fashion are kind of my security blanket, almost.

My momma didn’t clean up floors so I could be a thug… so I could wear my pants down.

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

Fashion breaks my heart.

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