I’ll probably be 80 years old and still performing. Music is like fashion, it changes. But some things will always be the same.
People in the fashion industry have used the press a lot more than people in the film industry, because you have nothing to sell except for the image: The image is everything.
A fashion is nothing but an induced epidemic.
Like basketball, fashion is hard work.

I love going through fashion magazines, love to read – Paulo Coelho is my favourite author.
I have a Rolex, but no diamonds. Rappers wear diamonds to compensate for a lack of fashion sense. I don’t even have pierced ears – I’m not into that; it’s too much.
I have always had an interest in fashion and design and I appreciate style and timelessness within my footwear and accessories both on and off the court.
I once owned a really, really ugly pair of white leather boots. They were so bad. It was back in the ’80s! It was just a really tacky fashion choice when I was in middle school, and I thought it was cool. I’m really embarrassed.
I grew up in Perugia, Umbria, in a world outside of fashion, so I didn’t learn about it until I was older and moved away. In Milan, the women are really into fashion, and all the big fashion brands are based there, but I don’t think they feel pressure to look good all the time.
My obsession is to make women beautiful. When you create with that in mind, things can’t go out of fashion.
For me, fashion is one of the biggest changes. I never got to wear Chanel or anything like that, growing up, or really experience fashion the way I get to now.
I was accepted to multiple fashion schools. But I had two kids when I was a teenager. My kids’ mom already had two kids when she was still in high school. So I had to be in the streets early. Instead of going to fashion school, I took the street route.
I think I have great responsibility, and when I do my music, when I try to relate to my audience, I just try to do it in an honest fashion, you know, just try to be as earnest as possible and sometime it may be self-effacing. Sometimes it may be finger-pointing. Sometimes it may be beautiful, and sometime it may be ugly.
You know, one had as good be out of the world, as out of the fashion.
MAC is truly at the forefront of trendsetting, which reminds me every time I see a MAC campaign or the incredible looks their artists create backstage at fashion weeks around the world.

I dress for the image. Not for myself, not for the public, not for fashion, not for men.
When Fashion Week ends, I miss the shows and the shot of adrenaline that comes with them. Each day is a new show, a new fitting, and you make new friends. Every season you get to know the other girls a little better.
Models are just mannequins seeking validation at the hands of sleazy fashion people.
Further, for once, I like the idea that people who think I’m a constant voice for the furthering of the imagination have to see that interest in a more materialistic fashion.
I think that fashion has become such a big business and with globalization we are on new territory at this point. We are not just designing for a country we are designing for a world now.

Fashion is about good energy. It’s about feelings. That’s what I have to give the people, good energy and good feelings.
Fashion is a huge part of music and of who you are. It really sets the mood for a show, and it’s fun to play around with it. You can get really creative in photo shoots as well. You know, just having fun with it.
I couldn’t care less about fashion. If I had taken any clothes home, they would have remained in my closet for the rest of their existence.
Fashion is a mirror, reflecting the culture.

You don’t have a choice about fashion or aesthetics – you’re in it, whether you like it or not.
My mother is the reason I’m in fashion. She worshiped it. Unfortunately, she infected me.
When I was younger, I had no interest. But after I went to Paris to see the collections for the first time a few years ago, they made a huge impression on me. I realized that fashion is an art form, like acting or painting.
I try to open up my heart as much as I can and keep a real keen eye out that I don’t get sentimental. I think we’re all afraid to reveal our hearts. It’s not at all in fashion.

I believe that fashion is the ultimate form if self expression therefore it really depends on my mood.
I came from modelling industry so I am part of fashion industry. It is not that I hated being part of glamorous film.
I have my favourite fashion decade, yes, yes, yes: ’60s. It was a sort of little revolution; the clothes were amazing but not too exaggerated.
May we agree that private life is irrelevant? Multiple, mixed, ambiguous at best – out of it we try to fashion the crystal clear, the singular, the absolute, and that is what is relevant; that is what matters.
Fashion and wearing clothes is a daily routine for everybody. What better way to spread the word of giving back and philanthropic ways of life than to wear something that gives back to charity?
I think my style is quite grungy and punky. I love the ’90s and the music from that time, and I love punk music. I’m also a fan of mixing vintage with some high fashion, which links back to my musical taste because I tend to mix old music with newer songs.
I need to be performing. I need to be acting. I need to be designing a condo and ripping down walls and buying new plates and looking at fashion magazines. There always has to be some movement in the artistic department for me to not get really, really low.
I was quite creative at school, and was also interested in fashion, but I was shy – I’m still not the loudest of people, believe it or not.
Fashion and music are two great artistic forms that can be molded by the youth culture – our taste and our passion for evolving things in our limited time on earth allows us to look at things with fresh eyes.
I am not a fashion freak!
Fashion is almost like a religion, for me at least.
I want to do other things like more fashion campaigns.
T-shirts for ten dollars are even more fashion today than expensive fashion.

Fashion is life-enhancing, and I think it’s a lovely, generous thing to do for other people.
For me, it’s important to anticipate where fashion is heading.

Political elites vote in a more partisan fashion than the mass public; this tendency, too, follows a curve. The more you know, the more likely you are to vote in an ideologically consistent way, not just following your party but following a set of constraints dictated by a political ideology.
I’m a really big advocate of ethical fashion. I actually have a travelling boutique called Maison de Mode, which is all about ethical fashion. I also like Maiyet from Paris. They’re very Celine-esque in their silhouettes. I love their back story, too: they work with orphans in Colombia and India.
I feel like I can really adapt to any type of fashion sense that I want to.
I don’t like balance. Balance is not a word you can use in Versace fashion.

Some days I want to look like a hipster kid, and then other days I want to be prim and proper. I really wish I had, like, seven lives so I could go from being a hipster one day to a punk the next. But that’s the great thing about fashion. In a way, it’s like acting, because you can try on all these different roles.
The New York fashion scene is crazy, madness, but I love the energy.
Fashion has always been important to me. I think style is important and what I love about my style is it’s all based on my mood.
