I believe in the romantic interchange between intellectuals about fashion.
Nothing is so hideous as an obsolete fashion.
Beauty is composed of an eternal, invariable element whose quantity is extremely difficult to determine, and a relative element which might be, either by turns or all at once, period, fashion, moral, passion.
The turnover of fashion is just so quick and so throwaway, and I think that is a big part of the problem. There is no longevity.
I didn’t try and do fashion pictures. I tried to do portraits of girls wearing dresses.
I’m a designer, and I work very hard at that. People sometimes want to put down fashion by saying it’s frivolous or superficial, but it’s not that way at all. It’s actually very hard work.
Fashion is made to become unfashionable.
Men’s fashion has a certain heaviness in the fabrics and construction. But also there is a heaviness in the mentality.
Who will remember Anna Wintour in the history of fashion? No one.
All my favorite artists and fashion icons and models are from the Nineties. Everybody was just so fearless.
But after the time there I’d had it with fashion again, so I left to go to architecture school in a summer course at Harvard, which didn’t last very long.
You know, the fashion business is this legendary repository of young girls on their way to getting husbands. I really wanted to work.
Change of fashion is the tax levied by the industry of the poor on the vanity of the rich.
Change is good; it’s what fashion is all about.
So many people preach that they love fashion, but really it’s what I live for!
Bengaluru is home for me. Being from Udupi, Karnataka, I have many relatives in Bengaluru. I used to come down for Bangalore Fashion Week. It was a lot of fun, and I had made so many good friends.
The present fashion system is too hard – there are too many collections. The designers have no time to think! Money is too important. Schedules are too crazy.
Elizabeth Taylor has reinvented herself and her image time and time again. The results have often helped redefine modern fashion.
But if fashion were easy, wouldn’t everybody look great?
We have this perceived illusion of what the fashion designer does. As an industry, we make it out that this one individual changes the entire face of the earth. I have never said ‘me’; it’s always ‘we.’ I am just the big salesman.
Even knowledge has to be in the fashion, and where it is not, it is wise to affect ignorance.
We need to fashion policies with proper incentives to reduce the amount of carbon we are putting in the atmosphere.
When you live in Paris, and fashion is such a point of pride for the French, it’s always around and you’re very much exposed to it from an early age. It was always something I knew about and really liked.
People think I’m trying to make a fashion statement because I never wear a bra. It’s really that I’m a tomboy at heart.
I feel like my art is very eclectic. I have taken my favorite things – be that costume designing, fashion sense, music and video editing – and I threw them all into one big clump. And that’s what I do.
I’ve always been into fashion.
Just when I think I hate fashion, I hate clothes, I’m seized by this crazy thing that I have to do. I have this little studio now where I just draw. I can be in the room for three days and not even look up.
A stylish person, for me, is one who draws your eye without necessarily being showy; they wear clothes that are beautifully cut, flatter the wearer, and show that they are not impervious to fashion, but not a slave to it either.
For a lot of people, it’s a massive deal to be on the front row at Fashion Week and look perfect. I don’t go to be seen; I go to look at the collections and support my friends, like Henry, Giles and Jonathan Saunders. As much as I love clothes and shopping, it doesn’t drive me.
Technology is the fashion of the ’90s. It affects everyone, and everyone is interested in it – either from fear of being left behind or because they have a real need to use technology.
I almost resent the whole fashion thing. Good God- never wearing the same thing twice and all of those things. It’s a pain in the ass.
I don’t think I’ve ever been a fashion item, I don’t think I was as a player.
I really like to be able to have variety and to try different things – that’s the beauty of fashion.
This preparatory sort of idealism is the one that, as I just suggested, Berkeley made prominent, and, after a fashion familiar. I must state it in my own way, although one in vain seeks to attain novelty in illustrating so frequently described a view.
I check Style.com to look at the collections and love to poke around some of the other fashion blogs to see what’s going on.
Everything either is coming out of it or passing through it, and whether it’s the lingo, whether it’s the fashion, whether it’s the culture, I always feel like Atlanta is the center of everything. I just want to make sure I bring something that’s familiar but that’s also new from Atlanta.
My worst fashion failure was when I wore tight PVC pants, and I had a show in Eugene, Oregon… my pants split down the center.
The paradoxes of today are the prejudices of tomorrow, since the most benighted and the most deplorable prejudices have had their moment of novelty when fashion lent them its fragile grace.
I am not trendy. I am not ‘in fashion.’ I am simply a positive human being who has a positive outlook on life.
Now is the most exciting time in fashion. Women are controlling their destiny now, the consumer is more knowledgeable, and I have to be better every single day.
I love wearing whatever is comfortable, and that could be something which was in trend years ago. So, I don’t follow fashion.
Don’t shift because fashion has shifted. Don’t move from the original ethic you had, the original reasons. They’re part and parcel of you.
It was the fashion of the time, still is, to feel that all actors are neurotic, or they would not be actors.
I’m like old shoes. I’ve never been hip. I think the reason I’m still here is that I was never enough in fashion that I had to be replaced by something new.
I was in a fashion show and I had on a strapless top. When I got to the end the top was down.
I don’t say I create. I copy, of course. I’ve never been interested in the point of view of the tailor or creator. Fashion is a visual impression. This is why I often refuse the name of fashion designer. It’s a superficial, stupid job. The social-psychological aspect is more interesting.
The most important part of fashion photography, for me, is not the models; it’s not the clothes. It’s that you are responsible for defining what a woman today is. That, I think, is my job.
Fashion should be stylish and fun.
I love fashion, I’m actually a pretty talented seamstress, so I can make stuff for myself, but that’s really time-consuming.
Even though I’m really into fashion, I’m into fashion as a means of creative expression. I dress myself according to my personal creative expression… I try to keep it comfortable. I try to keep it simple.
If the movie had ended in Hollywood fashion, the Copenhagen climate conference in 2009 would have marked the culmination of the global fight to slow a changing climate.
Right now I’d say my favorite fashion designer is Zac Posen.
I lived in South America when I was growing up. I spent hours sketching. I was good at drawing, and I was obsessed with fashion, but I was also obsessed with magazines.
I wear a lot of black, knitwear, skinny jeans and very high heels. My mum used to work for a fashion designer making knitwear, so she knits me lots of chunky scarves, hats and gloves, which I love.
Women who have understood fashion and style for so long have always known it’s not about having more pieces. It’s about having the right pieces and having the pieces that are of a great quality and look like you know what you’re doing. You don’t have to have a million things on.
I like how fashion is becoming more like music. It’s more adaptive to young kids. It’s more adaptive to a more on-the-go lifestyle. More street vibe. But I’ve always been into it.
Before the reader turns his back upon the Grand Basin once for all, I should like to put a name upon the glacier it contains – since it is the fashion to name glaciers.
I like to play dress up, I’m in love with fashion.
Sometimes in order for change to be made in a positive fashion, we must force ourselves to look unblinkingly at painful realities and reevaluate.
Fashion is the science of appearances, and it inspires one with the desire to seem rather than to be.
Fashion takes its inspiration from society and everyday life, which is the same for everyone, and this is perhaps the reason why certain elements recur.
Music is one way of expressing yourself, and fashion is another.
I was so proud of my team and myself for changing the rules of the fashion industry.
I think it’s an old fashioned notion that fashion needs to be exclusive to be fashionable.
I sometimes feel that a pattern is almost a fashion statement in itself.
Fashion is part of our culture, and it’s about more than just a pretty dress.
My mum never put those fashion ideals into the house. I didn’t wear make-up, and I had my hair all frizzy.
