Q : What Is Fashion?
“The difference between style and fashion is quality.”
Giorgio Armani
“While clothes may not make the woman, they certainly have a strong effect on her self-confidence — which, I believe, does make the woman."
Mary Kay Ash
We're dealing with sophisticated customers. What's most important to these women is individuality. I have to create things she'll want to wear, no matter who she is.
Oscar De La Renta
“It's interesting to see it all unravel. Gossip magazines, just by catching people walking down the streets, can actually be more effective and fashion-oriented than fashion magazines.”
-Ashley Olsen
[When his wife asked him to change clothes to meet the German Ambassador]:"If they want to see me, here I am. If they want to see my clothes, open my closet and show them my suits.”
Albert Einstein
“The expression a woman wears on her face is more important than the clothes she wears on her back.”
Dale Carnegie
"The ideal wardrobe allows a woman to select clothes that are suitable for lunch with friends, going to the office, or doing errands."
Kate Spade
"Fashion, not just as clothes but as a lifestyle and as a cultural force, has ascended to almost transcend music and film."
Marc Levin
"Fashion offers no greater challenge than finding what works for night without looking like you are wearing a costume."
Vera Wang
"It's the kind of clothes that mothers and daughters can wear, in terms of concept, it's not about age. It's about taste, lifestyle. I believe women of all ages can wear anything."
Ralph Lauren
"Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months."
Oscar Wilde
"Every generation laughs at the old fashions, but follows religiously the new."
Henry David Thoreau
"Above all, remember that the most important thing you can take with you anywhere is not a Gucci bag or french-cut jeans; it's an open mind."
Gail Rubin Berney
"It took me years to work out what was so special about Vuitton. But when you go to the workshops outside of Paris and see how everything is crafted, it is pretty impressive. Added to that, it's easy identifiable and I guess human instinct is to want to be part of an exclusive club that's also highly recognizable."
Marc Jacobs
“Fashion is one of the richest expressions of human desires, ambitions, needs, frailty, insecurity, security. What we wear is an indication of our sense of ourselves. It’s a gift. Fashion has been in all art history. Look at the Velasquez’s, the Goya’s. Look at what they are wearing in the Whistler’s, and what they are wearing is fashion!”
Richard Avedon
"For me fashion is fun, and it's supposed to help you feel good about yourself. I think that's what all women should focus on: what makes them happy and feel comfortable and beautiful. I wear what I love. Sometimes people like it, sometimes they don't. I'm fine with that."
Michelle Obama
“Be daring, be different, be impractical, be anything that will assert integrity of purpose and imaginative vision against the play-it-safers, the creatures of the commonplace, the slaves of the ordinary.”
Cecil Beaton
“Zest is the secret of all beauty. There is no beauty that is attractive without zest.”
Christian Dior
“Over the years I have learned that what is important in a dress is the woman who is wearing it.”
Yves Saint Laurent
“Fashion is born by small facts, trends, or even politics, never by trying to make little pleats and furbelows, by trinkets, by clothes easy to copy, or by the shortening or lengthening of a skirt.”
Elsa Schiaparelli
“Fashion is about change and, for me, the philosophy is always the same ... that the clothes have to be really modern and make women look really beautiful, ... But, it's fun to keep changing and to change the silhouettes, to change the fabrics and to change the color. Color this fall is really going to change too, because there is color.”
Calvin Klein
"As a fashion designer, I was always aware that I was not an artist, because I was creating something that was made to be sold, marketed, used, and ultimately discarded."
Tom Ford
"I haven't been thinking about what I need to make to win but what I love!"
Kenley Collins
“Clothes are not reflecting anything. People reflect. And I think that a good dress is a dress that disappears when you wear it. It is not really about the dress...it’s really about the woman who wears it and what that dress does to her face.”
Alber Elbaz
"Happiness lies in the joy of achievement and the thrill of creative effort."
Franklin D Roosevelt
“Fashion absolutely matters, but it doesn't matter absolutely.”
- Claudia Shear

Gianni Versace
“We start the collection with sharply tailored Moroccan inspired suits. And then, as the show progresses, it becomes gentler, softer, more feminine. Men's evening dress shirts suddenly become wafting long dresses in leopard print sweater chiffon.”

“Fashion has to bring a dream. Fashion has to make people happy.”
Alber Elbaz

Bill Blass
"We have the Terminator as governor, and we had an actor as president, so why shouldn't we have a fashion designer as a senator?"
Tom Ford
"It's not about the effort it's about the results."

Estella Warren
"It's not money that make you well-dressed it's understanding."
Christian Dior
"One should either be a work of art or wear a work of art."

Marc Jacobs

Stella Blum
"In France, Paris in particular, they say that women can wear a shirt, jeans, and a scarf and look absolutely fabulous."
professor P
"To be Stylish: The ability to be yourself, smile and have confidence in whatever crazy outfit you put on."
Jeanologie
"Fashion could mean a reflection of everything that is happening. Fashion could be a wonderful world to absolve, a way of expression and demonstrating how you feel and what you think... A way of making your life wonderful by admiring all the beauty of the universe and how it could be represented in everything that surrounds you, even in your clothes..."
Lulu Martin
