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

I like to look good, my friend.

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

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 think style is being so comfortable and confident in what you’re wearing. That’s what style is, ‚cause everybody’s got different style.

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

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

I have no models in Japanese literature. I created my own style, my own way.

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.

Probably my first couple years in the league, I started paying more attention to what I was wearing. Once I got a few bucks in my pocket and I could afford some nice things, and you get to go, ‚OK, let’s try some of these things.‘ And once you try something you like, you probably don’t change it much.

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

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.

I don’t feel very comfortable defending my fashion except to say that people don’t have to buy it. You do have to consume. You have to live. If you’ve got the money to be able to afford it, then it’s really good to buy something from me, but don’t buy too much.

In matters of style, swim with the current; in matters of principle, stand like a rock.

Punk was defined by an attitude rather than a musical style.

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

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

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?

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

When an author is too meticulous about his style, you may presume that his mind is frivolous and his content flimsy.
