The French have got taste.

It’s true that obscenity is a matter of taste and in the eye of the beholder.

Buy clothes the size you want to wear.

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

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

Every generation laughs at the old fashions, but follows religiously the new.

It’s a representation of yourself, and you can express a lot of your creativity with what your wearing.

It costs a lot of money to look this cheap.

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.

A fashion is nothing but an induced epidemic.

I want my wardrobe to be full of good clothes, so that when I’m deciding what to wear, I don’t run out of options. I love shopping!

When I’m back in New York – and this is a terrible thing to complain about – I eat a lot more really, really good food than perhaps I’d like to. So many of my friends are really good chefs. It’s kind of like being in the Mafia.

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

A difference of taste in jokes is a great strain on the affections.

Foreigners don’t want to invest any more in France – and this is not working.

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.

There are less than 1 per cent of anorexic girls, but there more than 30 per cent of girls in France – I don’t know about England – that are much, much overweight. And it is much more dangerous and very bad for the health.

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

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

The one thing I couldn’t identify with was the blue cowboy outfit he put on.

I love trying out different cuisines. In Delhi, I love Megu at the Leela, and TK’s at the Hyatt. I also enjoy Khan Chacha’s rolls. In Mumbai, it’s Royal China and Shiro. And in Bangalore, I like the food at Bricklane.

Well, we’re living in a material world, and I’m a material girl… or boy.

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.

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.‘

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.

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

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

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

Taste is the only morality. Tell me what you like and I’ll tell you what you are.

I love Indian, Italian and Mexican food. And if it’s a romantic type of thing, I like a good French restaurant.

I think tattoos are horrible. It’s like living in a Pucci dress full-time.

Tokyo would probably be the foreign city if I had to eat one city’s food for the rest of my life, every day. It would have to be Tokyo, and I think the majority of chefs you ask that question would answer the same way.

I like to look good, my friend.

To understand Europe, you have to be a genius – or French.

Fashion breaks my heart.

The fashion I’ve acquired over the years is so sacred to me – from costumes to couture, high fashion to punk wear I’ve collected from my secret international hot spots. I keep everything in an enormous archive in Hollywood.

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

Fashion is one thing, but style is another.

I wouldn’t wear tiny amounts of clothing in my real life so I don’t think it’s necessary to wear that stuff in photo-shoots.

A capacity, and taste, for reading gives access to whatever has already been discovered by others.

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

Don’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.

Of the love or hatred God has for the English, I know nothing, but I do know that they will all be thrown out of France, except those who die there.

What you’re going to be eating in the next year is decided by chefs. If the consensus is that pot-bellies are in next season, that’s what’s on your plate. And I think that’s a good thing, because we know, obviously, about food.

Any man may be in good spirits and good temper when he’s well dressed. There ain’t much credit in that.

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

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

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.

In Paris, you’re as far as possible from the land of pleasant smiles.

At one time, I was very angry. I even treated fashion like a kind of crusade: you were either with us or against us, that kind of feeling. Now I know we need ideas, not kicking down a door.

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 wanna go out not looking like the Dolly people have come to know, because I’ve come to know her that way, too.

I barely can go shopping for clothes. I find it difficult to walk into stores. The whole thing bores me so much.

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.

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.‘

I very rarely watch my own fashion shows, but the makeup for my Fall 2011 show was just brilliant.

Genius creates, and taste preserves. Taste is the good sense of genius; without taste, genius is only sublime folly.

With a suit, always wear big British shoes, the ones with large welts. There’s nothing worse than dainty little Italian jobs at the end of the leg line.

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.

I love a pair of sexy heels with jeans, a nice jacket, or a little dress.

When we started to do punk, we put all of these things together to create the look of an urban guerrilla – a rebel.
