Fashion Quotes

Doing fashion drawings was the only way I had to express myself when I was a teenager.

– Jean Paul Gaultier

I hate picking out outfits for events. That’s why I always wear the same thing when I go out – OK, not exactly the same, but always something easy. If it isn’t a big fashion event, it’ll be jeans and a nice top.

– Jochen Zeitz

Consumer behaviour changes in a glacial fashion.

– John Quelch

I am in a constant cycle of selling my clothes at Wasteland and buying from Goodwill. Once or twice a year, I go through my closet and donate everything to Goodwill. It feels like I am recycling my fashion.

– Jenny Lewis

You see me, I wanted to be fashion designer. I became fashion designer. So I think that everything is possible.

– Jean Paul Gaultier

I like my clothes to be tight enough to show I'm a woman, but loose enough to show I'm a lady - Mae West quote

I like my clothes to be tight enough to show I’m a woman, but loose enough to show I’m a lady.

Follow sound business trends, not fashion trends.

London is a good fashion city. They’re a little more daring. There’s the element of the aristocracy, which is always interesting.

– John Legend

I’m sorry, but Juicy Couture tracksuits and Ugg boots don’t move me in any way, shape or form. I refuse to wear them. Modern fashion doesn’t appeal to me; the 1950s were better in every way, don’t you think?

– Imelda May

I am not one of those fat birds who feels miserable because models are thin. Frankly, I feel more insulted by the idea that unless I see other fat birds in fashion magazines, I will be reduced to a sniveling wreck of a human being.

– Julie Burchill

My aunt was Frances Hodges, who in the Fifties was the editor of ‘Seventeen’ and later one of the creators of ‘Mademoiselle.’ She was my Auntie Mame; she loved culture. She was a Quaker, but she became a milliner against all Quaker logic – they feel that fashion and art are vanities – because she loved fashion.

– Jochen Zeitz

The Americans will never solve the Indian problem till the Indian is extinct. They have treated them after a fashion which has intensified their treachery and ‘devilry’ as enemies, and as friends reduces them to a degraded pauperism, devoid of the very first elements of civilization.

– Isabella Bird

I’ll be so excited to take my daughter to her first fashion show, but I think, for her, it’s best to wait until she’s old enough to appreciate it. Or, at least, until she can pronounce the designer’s names!

– Julia Restoin Roitfeld

My belief, for what it is worth, is that city dwellers cannot understand the world. Insulated from reality by complex and expert systems of provision and police, baffled by fashion and spectacle, city dwellers can distinguish neither the sources of their existence nor the consequences.

– James Buchan

I just think fashion is about enjoying yourself and being comfortable in your skin and allowing you to be you – all the way live.

– Jill Scott

I never thought fashion was the job for me, because I’m Japanese. Clothes! That was a European, society thing.

London Fashion Week is so different from any of the others. Compared to the strictness in New York, London seems freer from commercial constraints. Truer to the process, to street style, to a sense of humour.

– Alexa Chung

Fashion is always seen as somewhat frivolous and self-indulgent. And I think people on the inside maybe don’t see or understand how exciting and diverse a business it is.

– Imran Amed

– Isaac Mizrahi

I don’t put any rules to my style; I think fashion is something that you should play with… even if you make a mistake, it’s okay, it’s only fashion.
