The difference between humans and other mammals is that we know how to accessorize.

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

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

I like a good pair of jeans, but I also like putting on a nice tux. I’d rather go around in a good pair of jeans that you don’t wash every day, because they get more and more comfortable.

I love Dolce & Gabbana. I love Versace. I love the crazy, more eccentric stuff.

People have really gotten comfortable not only sharing more information and different kinds, but more openly and with more people – and that social norm is just something that has evolved over time.

A fashion is nothing but an induced epidemic.

If the tongue had not been framed for articulation, man would still be a beast in the forest.

I suppose we need not go mourning the buffaloes. In the nature of things, they had to give place to better cattle, though the change might have been made without barbarous wickedness.

I like sweaters. I have a sweater obsession, I guess.

The fact that the colors in the flower have evolved in order to attract insects to pollinate it is interesting; that means insects can see the colors. That adds a question: does this aesthetic sense we have also exist in lower forms of life?

We know but a few men, a great many coats and breeches.

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

Who wants a stylus. You have to get em and put em away, and you lose em. Yuck. Nobody wants a stylus.

Once spirit was God, then it became man, and now it is even becoming mob.

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

It costs a lot of money to look this cheap.

Humanity is still advancing; and it will probably continue to advance for hundreds of thousands of years more, always on condition that we know how to keep the same line of advance as our ancestors towards ever greater consciousness and complexity.

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

There were plenty of other hominids, but they disappeared, probably because humans exterminated them, but nobody knows for sure.

It is true that we are weak and sick and ugly and quarrelsome but if that is all we ever were, we would millenniums ago have disappeared from the face of the earth.

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

Extinction is the rule. Survival is the exception.

My theory of evolution is that Darwin was adopted.

Men do change, and change comes like a little wind that ruffles the curtains at dawn, and it comes like the stealthy perfume of wildflowers hidden in the grass.

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

I’ve always had my own access to the public, because I started off making my clothes for a little shop, and so I’ve always had people buying them. I could always sell a few, even if I couldn’t sell a lot, and somehow my business grew because people happened to like it. I’m in a fortunate position.

I wear a hat on stage so that people won’t be blinded by the reflection from my head. Also, if I don’t wear a hat, there’s no way that the hat can be at that level by itself on the stage.

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.

T-shirts for ten dollars are even more fashion today than expensive fashion.

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

When I was 8 years old, it mattered what my favorite singer said and wore and expressed opinions about.

Dressing up is a bore. At a certain age, you decorate yourself to attract the opposite sex, and at a certain age, I did that. But I’m past that age.

Transformation literally means going beyond your form.

Fashion is made to become unfashionable.

Everybody looks like clones and the only people you notice are my age. I don’t notice anybody unless they look great, and every now and again they do, and they are usually 70.

My wife dresses to kill. She cooks the same way.

Certainly the first true humans were unique by virtue of their large brains. It was because the human brain is so large when compared with that of a chimpanzee that paleontologists for years hunted for a half-ape, half-human skeleton that would provide a fossil link between the human and the ape.

Fashion is here to help make people look very important. If they have good taste and choose what suits them, I give them options on how they can do that. It’s always sexy, and it’s always with the same result: making women look fantastic.

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

The present condition of fame is merely fashion.

I wear the same outfit or, at least, a different copy of it almost every day.

I modelled my looks on the town tramp.

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

I wear wigs all the time on shows, and every day when I’m in public, at Dollywood. People say, ‚How many wigs do you have?‘ And I say, ‚Well, at least 365 because I wear at least one a day.‘

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

Religion and science are the two conjugated faces or phases of one and the same complete act of knowledge – the only one which can embrace the past and future of evolution and so contemplate, measure and fulfil them.

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

I really focus on my jeans and sweaters for them to fit really well. There was a time that wasn’t the case.

It is hard for the ape to believe he descended from man.

I can tell you all kinds of moral tales, but fashion and reality are vaguely different.

People are more aware now of cities and of different ways of life. I suppose the writing I do is a bit in the past, and I’m not sure it’s the kind of writing I would do if I were starting now.

Dignity, and even holiness too, sometimes, are more questions of coat and waistcoat than some people imagine.

I wear the national dress because it is the most natural and the most becoming for an Indian.

I like Tom Ford a lot because it’s so classic and has great quality. I wear a lot of Rag & Bone.

In the literal sense, there has been no relevant evolution since the trek from Africa. But there has been substantial progress towards higher standards of rights, justice and freedom – along with all too many illustrations of how remote is the goal of a decent society.

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!‘

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

I don’t feel comfortable defending my clothes. But if you’ve got the money to afford them, then buy something from me. Just don’t buy too much.

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