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. – Jean-Luc Godard
I became a fashion designer to make clothes for the people, not to be a top couturier in the French tradition. – Issey Miyake
Yves Saint Laurent was my first fashion show. I wore his tuxedo. And Helmut Newton was my first photographer, in 1973. I was really very lucky. I had an amazing career. – Jerry Hall
Fashion is something that I want to be involved with for a long time, and I want to show that I can give people what they want while still keeping my pizzazz and my razzle-dazzle. – Johnny Weir
I worked 10 years as a toy designer before I started my career as a fashion designer. It’s something I just fell into and really liked. – Jason Wu
I was doing the ‘Vogue’ fashion awards when I was 16, live on VH1. I was coming down the steps, and I’m a really hard walker. I hadn’t had a mistake yet in my career. Everything had been perfect. So I come down the steps on live TV, and I slip. I didn’t fall, but you could see the look on my face. I was mortified. I was devastated. – Jessica White
I never thought of myself as being limited to fashion. I’m a designer, and if you have a vision, you can apply that to anything. – Jason Wu
A human being is a being who is constantly ‘under construction,’ but also, in a parallel fashion, always in a state of constant destruction. – Jose Saramago
If fantasy is done well, it has both serious content in a literary fashion and is a really good read as well – and children and young adults won’t suffer anything else. – Isobelle Carmody
My poems getting published in Russia doesn’t make me feel in any fashion, to tell you the truth. I’m not trying to be coy, but it doesn’t tickle my ego. – Joseph Brodsky
In fashion, you need to present something new every six months, but it takes time to study things. Development is very important. – Issey Miyake
I don’t want my reputation to take me over, I just want to be judged on my songs. I want people to come and see me because they want to, not because fashion dictates it. – Jeff Buckley
If Broadway no longer seems behind the times or ahead of the times, it may be because there are no ‘times’ anymore, no prevailing Zeitgeist that sets the fashion, pace, and prevailing look. – James Wolcott
I never represented glam. That’s the thing, you’ll never see me in the front row of a fashion show. I’m uninterested in it. I find it trivial and banal and boring. – Jamie Lee Curtis
I think 1973 was the nadir of fashion. When you watch the coverage from that era, you’re struck by the astonishing ugliness of the clothes. – John Malkovich
I think there is a case for strong action and intervention when there is criminality and when the leaders are corrupt or behaving in a criminal fashion. – Jay Weatherill
Where consumption is both conspicuous and competitive, humanity will never run out of new wishes. All the while, industry creates new desires that are marketed, in the great fashion paradox, as both novelty and need. – James Buchan
I don’t spend a lot of money on clothes, which is weird because I am a fashion model, but when it comes to the new collections coming out, I am just praying designers send it to me for free. – Irina Shayk
I didn’t want to do ‘Fashion Police’ because I thought, ‘This is stupid, this is beneath me, who wants to talk about fashion?’ It has taken off. We are the number one show in England on E! Who knew? – Joan Rivers
I do not like bad photographs. I don’t like to be badly lit. There is a fashion, particularly on stage, for very ‘toppy’ lighting, which makes a child look 50. Ten o’clock is very good. If someone is taking a picture, you say, ‘Lamps at 10 o’clock,’ then everybody looks lovely. – Joanna Lumley
I’ve lived long enough to know things go in and out of fashion, and things not well received now can be totally reversed years later. – Horton Foote
Fashion is fun, but it’s not that important, really, is it? It’s important to have other intellectual and creative interests. – Jerry Hall
When I am on E! for the ‘Fashion Police,’ I only care about being a critic. It loses me many friends. – Joan Rivers
