Fashion is ultimately a form of self-expression. That's why I love trying out new things.
‐‐ Ashley Madekwe
Fashion is very important. It is life-enhancing and, like everything that gives pleasure, it is worth doing well.
‐‐ Vivienne Westwood
Fashion is very judgmental. It's something where you have to be careful. I have a long way to go before I can be a designer. I'd love to one day, but we'll see.
‐‐ Sloane Stephens
Fashion is very tough, and we shouldn't forget that before designers were money-makers, they were artists.
‐‐ Carine Roitfeld
Fashion is what people tell you to wear. Style is what comes from your own inner thing.
‐‐ Pauline Trigere
Fashion is what you adopt when you don't know who you are.
‐‐ Quentin Crisp
Fashion is where I make my living. I'm not knocking it; it's a pleasure to make a living that way. Then there's the deeper pleasure of doing my portraits.
‐‐ Richard Avedon
Fashion isn't interesting when it comes from an uninspired place.
‐‐ Christian Louboutin
Fashion isn't me, even though I work in it. It's just materialistic stuff.
‐‐ Agyness Deyn
Fashion isn't something I madly follow. I tend just to wear what I like and what fits me well.
‐‐ Neve McIntosh
Fashion isn't something you can buy; you need to have the sense of it, and most people don't.
‐‐ Carine Roitfeld
Fashion moves so quickly that, unless you have a strong point of view, you can lose integrity.
‐‐ Alice Temperley
Fashion needs fresh blood, and London is the most creative place for that.
‐‐ Donatella Versace
Fashion needs to be worn.
‐‐ Christian Lacroix
Fashion never stops. There is always the new project, the new opportunity.
‐‐ Carolina Herrera
Fashion nowadays is all about product - bags and shoes - and you're kind of a product yourself, aren't you?
‐‐ Victoria Beckham
Fashion offers no greater challenge than finding what works for night without looking like you are wearing a costume.
‐‐ Vera Wang
Fashion often starts off beautiful and becomes ugly, whereas art starts off ugly sometimes and becomes beautiful.
‐‐ David Bailey
Fashion only seems to make sense if it's rooted in some dimension of history or if it feels like a continuation of an idea.
‐‐ Douglas Coupland
Fashion people think that the careful Nice companies are boring beyond measure. (Nice people think fashionistas look silly and should Get A Life).
‐‐ Peter York
Fashion photographers are the new painters.
‐‐ Peter Lindbergh
Fashion photography should say something about the stability of a certain time you live in or what kind of women you like. The most interesting thing is not what they're wearing but who they are.
‐‐ Peter Lindbergh
Fashion pictures show people looking glamorous. Travel pictures show a place looking at its best, nothing to do with the reality. In the cookery pages, the food always looks amazing, right? Most of the pictures we consume are propaganda.
‐‐ Martin Parr
Fashion really is women's liberation in a lot of ways. Look at how many women in this country are depressed about how they look and how they think they have to look! It's really sad. And it's not about money.
‐‐ Iris Apfel
Fashion responds to the economic climate by providing a way to lift a woman's spirits.
‐‐ Catherine Malandrino
Fashion's about extravagance, and everyone needs a bit of that.
‐‐ Carine Roitfeld
Fashion's important to me, but beauty fades. All that stuff is fun while it lasts, but anything can happen tomorrow. You've got to have so much more about you than the way you look or your clothes.
‐‐ FKA twigs
Fashion should be a form of escapism, and not a form of imprisonment.
‐‐ Alexander McQueen
Fashion should be fun and accessible.
‐‐ Anna Sui
Fashion should be fun. It shouldn't be labelled 'intellectual.'
‐‐ Carolina Herrera
Fashion should be playful.
‐‐ Paloma Picasso
Fashion should be something that in the morning, when you open your window, you say, 'Oh fantastic, sun!' Then you take your shower, you say, 'OK fantastic, which colour I wear today because I feel happy?' This should be fashion.
‐‐ Roberto Cavalli
Fashion should be stylish and fun.
‐‐ Twiggy
Fashion should not be expected to serve in the stead of courage or character.
‐‐ Loretta Young
Fashion shows are really my way of communication.
‐‐ Dries van Noten
Fashion shows used to be more crazy. Now they've become a bit too serious.
‐‐ Carine Roitfeld
Fashion somehow, for me, is purely and happily irrational.
‐‐ Hedi Slimane
'Fashion Star' has been an incredible platform to show America the amount of work and discussion that goes into each garment you see in a store.
‐‐ Nicole Richie
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.
‐‐ Stefano Gabbana
Fashion to me has become very disposable; I wanted to get back to craft, to clothes that could last.
‐‐ Vera Wang
Fashion today is available to everybody in a way that it's never been before: you've got every designer you've ever heard of working for H& or Target. That's fantastic.
‐‐ Anna Wintour
Fashion was in a crisis up until the mid-'90s and, when it came out of the crisis, it was a very different place. It was a place that nurtured and cultivated young entrepreneurial designers.
‐‐ Tim Gunn
Fashion was never my forte.
‐‐ Anne Wojcicki
Fashion Week is horrible. I mean, it isn't horrible, really - it's amazing. But having to work that much every day is.
‐‐ Cara Delevingne
Fashion Week is like Christmas.
‐‐ Brad Goreski
Fashion Week is so important for designers.
‐‐ Diane von Furstenberg
Fashion Week is surprisingly very short. At least the actual runway shows are.
‐‐ Tinie Tempah
Fashion week is very inspiring, and you can't look at things one dimensionally. And I think that everyone who works in this industry has a very three-dimensional view of what fashion is and what art is.
‐‐ Mark Indelicato
Fashion will last forever. It will exist always. It will exist in its own way in each era.
‐‐ Azzedine Alaia
Fashionable people can opt out of the fashion stream, but a stylish person never becomes unstylish unless they hit their head on a rock and suffer brain damage.
‐‐ Douglas Coupland
