A girl should be two things: classy and fabulous.

Success is often achieved by those who don’t know that failure is inevitable.

Happy girls are the prettiest girls.

True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul.

Fashion has two purposes: comfort and love. Beauty comes when fashion succeeds.

Justice is as much a matter of fashion as charm is.

Fashion may not be a weapon of the woman but at least it gives her the ammunition.

Asking for advice about what you should write is a little like asking for help getting dressed. I can you tell you what I think looks good, but you have to wear it. And as every fashion victim knows, very few people look good in everything.

Elegance is refusal.

Fashion has become a joke. The designers have forgotten that there are women inside the dresses.

I am not young but I feel young. The day I feel old, I will go to bed and stay there. J’aime la vie! I feel that to live is a wonderful thing.

Fashion is only the attempt to realize art in living forms and social intercourse.

I base most of my fashion taste on what doesn’t itch.

Know, first, who you are, and then adorn yourself accordingly.

I believe that everyone is a fashion insider, because it’s illegal to be naked.

With all fashion, what we do is play at being somebody else. We play at inhabiting another kind of world.

Fashion is like life. It needs fear and uncertainty if you are to move forward.

I have a very classic take on fashion. I like my accessories to pop, but in general, my style is pretty classic.

I am a princess. I do not follow fashions–I make them.

What is good today may be a cliche tomorrow.

ISIS is a virulent, nasty organization that has gained a foothold in ungoverned spaces effectively in Syria and parts of western Iraq. We have to take it seriously. They’ve shown in Paris what they can do in an organized fashion.

Fashions in bigotry come and go. The right thing lasts.

My obsession is to make women beautiful. When you create with that in mind, things can’t go out of fashion.

Moral values includes the immorality of 45 million uninsured or the immorality of working people who are having trouble raising a family despite working full-time. That has to be part of the moral equation. And if we are able to frame things in that fashion, then I think we can be successful.

I never wanted to join fashion industry or being another Donna or another Dianne. I made clothes that I wanted to wear. I would cut, I would sew and I would wear, and it made me to feel better.

My own experience has taught me not to underestimate the power of those who protest against cruelty. I’d also say that there may be a tendency to view the animal-rights opposition in somewhat distorted fashion as a new development, as the product of a very recent enlightenment about the rights due to animals.

Women thrive on novelty and are easy meat for the commerce of fashion. Men prefer old pipes and torn jackets.

The historical side of fashion was very attractive to me when I was a teenager in Moscow, working for the costume departments in various Russian theater companies.

I certainly know first hand the waste one lady can create through her primping routine, because I am a victim of fashion: to me a day without makeup and a bouffant to match is a day wasted. I love it all – whether it’s fancy, cheap or, I’m ashamed to say, even if it’s bad for the environment.

I like first class, but I don’t like first class people – I prefer the people in coach. I like fine restaurants, but prefer the taste of McDonalds. I like to be perfect, but I don’t like perfection – I think it’s dangerous. There is nothing after perfection. I know, I am a walking contradiction.

At the end of the week, it’s nice to just hang out in a pair of jeans and let my hair down. I need a break from all that fashion!

There is something about fashion that can make people really nervous.

I absolutely loathe luxury. It is the one thing I cannot stand.

I firmly believe that with the right footwear one can rule the world.

For me, clothes mean self-expression. You need to have an audience and connect with people. Fashion is shared. It connects people. And we share an experience beyond the clothes.
