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

I try not to go around looking like a hag.

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 don’t care if you get up in the morning and don’t wash, don’t put any make-up on, don’t do your hair, even, but you have to have clothes if you want to look different.

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

Let us not be too particular; it is better to have old secondhand diamonds than none at all.

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

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

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.

What do I wear in bed? Why, Chanel No. 5, of course.

I’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.

I don’t notice anybody unless they look great, and every now and again they do, and they are usually 70.

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

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.

Good humor is one of the best articles of dress one can wear in society.

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.

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

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.

The French have got taste.

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 think I would like to go into modelling. Of course, I don’t know how to do it, and wouldn’t be any good at it if I did, so I’m going to employ someone to walk the catwalks on my behalf. It would still be me, of course.

My clothes have always got a very strong dynamic rapport with the body – they are very body conscious, they help you to look glamorous, more hourglass, more woman.

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

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

I’m not trying to be fashionable. Never was!

A fashion is nothing but an induced epidemic.

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

I didn’t used to wear a watch. Now I have a SPOT watch, which I wear all the time.

Elegance is usually confused with superficiality, fashion, lack of depth. This is a serious mistake: human beings need to have elegance in their actions and in their posture because this word is synonymous with good taste, amiability, equilibrium and harmony.

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

Even as a kid, I wore J.C. Penney plain-pocket jeans because they were plain pockets. I didn’t want anybody’s name on my backside. I personally don’t like to wear clothing that is named for somebody or has someone’s likeness all over it.

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

I 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.

I like to look good, my friend.

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.‘

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

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

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

Fashion is inspired by youth and nostalgia and draws inspiration from the best of the past.

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

Fresh sneakers are important on a man. It’s like a new pair of boxers or a new pair of socks.

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

If you gonna wear the mohawk, you stick with it. You don’t just be dibby-dabbing. You make up your mind.

I go to all these photo shoots, and each time I figure out something new about myself and what I want to wear.

Fashion is only the attempt to realize art in living forms and social intercourse.

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

When I get dressed, it’s like freestyling.

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.

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

Eat to please thyself, but dress to please others.

The enemy is within the gates; it is with our own luxury, our own folly, our own criminality that we have to contend.

Ridiculous yachts and private planes and big limousines won’t make people enjoy life more, and it sends out terrible messages to the people who work for them. It would be so much better if that money was spent in Africa – and it’s about getting a balance.

If you saw Queen Elizabeth it would be amazing, she came from another planet. She was so attractive in what she was wearing.

Here comes 40. I’m feeling my age and I’ve ordered the Ferrari. I’m going to get the whole mid-life crisis package.

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!‘

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.

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

My music is a luxury.

My clothes are very popular in Japan.

I said I would never wear my gold again because it would be insensitive and disrespectful to all the people who died and lost everything in Katrina.

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.
