Journalists are usually quite jealous people, especially of intellectuals who are supposed to be in fashion.

I think I have something tonight that’s not quite correct for evening wear. Blue suede shoes.

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

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

Sometimes I can’t figure designers out. It’s as if they flunked human anatomy.

In history people dressed much better than we do today.

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.

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

I see so many guys, really athletic guys, wearing pleats and I just shake my head. Like, Tiger Woods used to wear pleated pants! I’m like, ‚C’mon, Tiger!‘

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.

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

We live in a culture that relishes tearing others down. It’s ultimately more fulfilling, though, to help people reach their goals. Instead of feeling jealous, remember: If God did it for them, He can do it for you.

The 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?

I see that the fashion wears out more apparel than the man.

There are charms made only for distant admiration.

It costs a lot of money to look this cheap.

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

There is much to support the view that it is clothes that wear us, and not we, them; we may make them take the mould of arm or breast, but they mould our hearts, our brains, our tongues to their liking.

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 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.

Bravery never goes out of fashion.

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

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.

It’s every girl’s dream to be a cover girl!

When 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.

All styles are good except the tiresome kind.

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

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

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

I never look at fashion magazines. I find them incredibly boring.

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

The thermometer of success is merely the jealousy of the malcontents.

I urge everyone to be trendsetters for Azza Suleiman. Let’s make it one fashion which everyone will want to follow.

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?‘

Men weren’t always happy for me. It was very challenging to watch a woman be so successful.

Obviously black matches with everything.

I like the discipline of well-cut, impeccable clothes. I think it’s a very healthy discipline.

I have too many clothes, I have too many options.

Sometimes, wearing a scarf and a polo coat and no makeup and with a certain attitude of walking, I go shopping or just look at people living. But then, you know, there will be a few teenagers who are kind of sharp, and they’ll say, ‚Hey, just a minute. You know who I think that is?‘ And they’ll start tailing me. And I don’t mind.

Jealousy is never satisfied with anything short of an omniscience that would detect the subtlest fold of the heart.

Fashion is that thing that saved me from being sad.

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

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

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.

I have a hat. It is graceful and feminine and give me a certain dignity, as if I were attending a state funeral or something. Someday I may get up enough courage to wear it, instead of carrying it.

I don’t know who invented high heels, but all women owe him a lot.

Wisdom I know is social. She seeks her fellows. But Beauty is jealous, and illy bears the presence of a rival.

There is a sort of jealousy which needs very little fire; it is hardly a passion, but a blight bred in the cloudy, damp despondency of uneasy egoism.

I’m big on what’s in good taste.

The most important thing I can tell you about aging is this: If you really feel that you want to have an off-the-shoulder blouse and some big beads and thong sandals and a dirndl skirt and a magnolia in your hair, do it. Even if you’re wrinkled.

Intellectuals are in a position to expose the lies of governments, to analyze actions according to their causes and motives and often hidden intentions.

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

No change in musical style will survive unless it is accompanied by a change in clothing style. Rock is to dress up to.

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

Often people become our friend or follower with an undercurrent of resentment in our having more success than they have. They secretly desire the opportunity to take us down a notch; they have a nose for any misstep on our part they can exploit.

I love ripped jeans! They are flattering. I’m very petite, so I think they make my butt look lovely.

Some people are very good at being ‚stars‘ and it suits them. I’m grudging about it and I find it annoying.

The 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.

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

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

I thought I would dress in baggy pants, big shoes, a cane and a derby hat. everything a contradiction: the pants baggy, the coat tight, the hat small and the shoes large.
