We’re taking up some science experiments, some crystal growth things, we have a refrigerator that carries up some samples, new samples that go into the station, we bring the old ones home; we have a lot of clothing, we have a lot of food-U.S. and Russian food.
No change in musical style will survive unless it is accompanied by a change in clothing style. Rock is to dress up to.
I felt like at the time I didn’t really have much experience with fashion. So I was like, oh, the most dramatic thing I can do, the most daring thing I can do, is wear women’s clothing.
James Bond is quite serious about his drinks and clothing and cigarettes and food and all that sort of thing. There is nothing wry or amused about James Bond.
I’ve always loved clothes, especially handbags and shoes. I’d rather save my money on clothing and wear crap, but have the handbags and shoes. I used to buy a Ferragamo or Louis Vuitton bag every job that I got. Now I have a child, and we pay for private school, so I’ve had to scale back!
I love movies like ‘500 Days of Summer’ and ‘Juno.’ Something offbeat without the glamour and the makeup and the clothing.
For a long time, I couldn’t even afford food and clothing. I climbed from the very bottom of the society.
There are a few entrepreneurs whom I look up to. My dad, Ralph Lauren, has definitely evolved into a lifestyle brand of clothing and home furnishings.
The States are more accommodating to fat people – there are more plus-sized clothing labels, and people talk openly about it.
I started painting my nails and started wearing some women’s clothing, but that whole side of me always caused problems in my intimate relationships. There was a lot of shame attached to it. I’d talk to people I was dating about it but still feel ashamed.
I love clothing and still shop a lot of vintage.
Growing up, I like to say I was a tomboy because it was partially maybe because I had brothers and stuff, but also it was hard for me, being a bigger girl, to find cute clothing like everyone else.
I absorbed as many Impressionist paintings as I could, in Parisian museums and in many museums in the United States and in books, looking for clues to architecture, clothing, settings.
I grew up in a family where our mother made our clothing. We didn’t have a lot of money, so we learned how to scrimp, and we learned how to invent and to create. And those are learned skills.
As we get rich, the basics of life – food, clothing and shelter – become a very small part of total expenditure. And people have enough money to purchase things that enhance them spiritually, and I mean the word ‘spiritual’ not necessarily in a religious sense but in the sense that it adds to your feeling of well-being.
I’ve always felt the connection between clothing and confidence, which is why I probably was such a shopaholic.
A name, of course is like a piece of clothing, isn’t it? It gives you an impression right away.
Go out there and try on everything – short skirts, long skirts, mid length, little jackets, men’s clothing – and really look at yourself; really walk around in the clothes. Don’t just take someone else’s advice. You must feel you in these clothes and feel what it’s like to live in them.
My favorite piece of clothing as a boy was a purple Magic Johnson jersey from the Los Angeles Lakers.
People say history is boring, and that is true because people are boring. We haven’t changed since time began. We’re still the same. We’ve obviously made some changes. When we started, it was all about food, clothing and shelter. Now we watch ‘Top Chef’, ‘Project Runway’, and ‘Extreme Makeover: Home Edition.’
Although I’m sure she’s completely charming and delightful, I’m not sure if Kate Middleton might be the best role model. This is a person who has got where she is by marriage, a person whose weight, clothing, hair we worry about – we don’t worry about what she’s thinking.
I believe in the power of great clothing. It can evoke confidence, beauty, and a sense of glamour.
I like to wear things that don’t need ironing. It seems a fundamental design flaw when clothing needs ironing. There are loads of fabrics these days that don’t need ironing, so I stick to those.
I couldn’t be working in a bank and launch a clothing line. It’s only because cinema gave me a lot of access that I have been able to launch a clothing line.
One of the reasons I started my clothing line was because I went into an Urban Outfitters, and they were bootlegging my star logo on T-shirts.
I would love to design a maternity clothing line. It is so hard to find stylish clothes for pregnant people… I would say 99 percent of the clothes I wore were not maternity because I couldn’t find anything I liked.
If my clothing does stand out, then I guess it’s a compliment, but I just wear whatever feels comfortable.
The biggest thing politically within fashion is that the clothing should be displayed on different body shapes.
I’m not into bikinis or other revealing clothing.
Until I got older, I never dreamed of what a demanding responsibility it is to keep food in the pantry, to keep clothing neat and presentable, to buy all that is needed to keep a home running.
I have a Saint Laurent burgundy velvet jacket that has gold stars embroidered all over it and it’s my magic piece of clothing that makes me feel like a wizard or something.
I just want to get into clothing and things that I really love.
My touchstone started out being – and is still – exploring the ways by which to make clothing from a single piece of cloth.
I think it’s important to wear clothing that means something to you, and so I always try to make sure I’m wearing at least one item that has a personal meaning to me.
Not everyone will see your beauty, and not everyone will find you attractive or believe you are worthy of their clothing or publications.
I don’t think people experiment enough with clothing because society tries to tell them what they can and can’t wear. I love playing around with different aesthetics and/or mixing around aesthetics to create a totally new look.
I wrote ‘Airborn’ after completing three books about bats. I loved my bats, but what a treat it was to write about humans again. They could eat food other than midges and mosquitoes, they wore clothing, they slept in beds – all this struck me as wonderfully novel.
Well, what I’m doing is really clothing. I’m not doing sculpture.
Not just cricket, we are doing clothing for football, hockey etc. It’s basic stuff, but good designing is what I am looking to do.
Man Repeller is intended to chronicle all the fashion trends that women love and men hate. I started it because I am woman with a deep appreciation for harem pants. And sometimes blaming clothing on a sad love life is easier than blaming oneself!
In our family, when you have a part-time job you are then responsible for non-essential clothing. Glittery tops, skirts with tassels, clompy patent leather shoes that are the sensible girl’s version of stilettos.
The clothes are different: pre-dog, I used to be very finicky and self-conscious about how I looked; now I schlep around in the worst clothing – big heavy boots, baggy old sweaters, a hooded down parka from L.L. Bean that makes me look like an astronaut.
I’ve never had a particularly sweet tooth. In fact, during the war, I used to swap my sweet ration coupons with my father – and he’d give me his clothing coupons in return. Looking good was more important to me than scoffing sweets.
The wardrobe is always the last piece of the puzzle. When you step into the clothing, that’s the final step to figuring out that character.
The Emilia Wickstead customer is a sophisticated, accomplished woman who expresses her femininity and style through the way she dresses. She appreciates classic with a twist, yet luxurious and high quality clothing that make her feel confident, elegant, and ultimately chic.
I went to school for clothing and textiles and thought this is what I was going to do. Then I started working in costumes and literally said, ‘I don’t know if I can take the actors.’
The biggest thing for me with charity is awareness. Obviously as an athlete, I have an opportunity to make people more aware. The average person doesn’t have that opportunity, so the best way is to spare some money, clothing, food – something. Most of us have a little excess of something that we can give.
There are writers for whom names mean nothing; everybody could be called John and Elizabeth, and the writing would be just as good. A name, of course, is like a piece of clothing, isn’t it? It gives you an impression right away.
Today, I marvel at the vegan foods in the supermarket, at the cruelty-free clothing choices in stores, and at the fantastic alternatives to dissection in schools, the modern ways to test medicines without killing rabbits and beagles, the many forms of entertainment involving purely human performers.
My name has become a brand – it could be make-up, clothing, perfume.
Growing up, Guess always had these amazing billboards and cool affordable clothing. I wore it then, and I still wear it now! It’s come full-circle. When I design the clothes, I have a very good team around me, showing me different pieces and cuts.
That cowboy look – the hat and the bandana – that’s not a fashion statement. That clothing is purely practical.
