• In difficult times fashion is always outrageous.
Elsa Schiaparelli

• The one thing about fashion is everyone wants that one moment when they look fabuloous and they feel fabulous, you know…when they step out of that limosine, when they make that entrance, when they slap that mans face…when everything is perfect. Its about going for that one moment and we are all relentlessly trying to get it.
Veronica Webb

• Of course, clothing fashions have always been impractical, except in Tahiti.
Jacques Barzun

• For an idea ever to be fashionable is ominous, since it must afterwards be always old fashioned.
George Santayana

• A fashion that does not reach the streets is not a fashion.
Coco Chanel

• It’s time to do away with the bare flesh and low-rise jeans. Fashion will always be used to express our sexuality and liberation, but we’re moving the erogenous zone to our backs next. Bare backs are much better than bare midriffs.
David Wolfe

• I think fashion is that we go two steps forward and go 15 back each time because you always have to look back and see what’s being done. But I don’t want to look back to the ’70s. I’m really tired of that, and I’ve lived through that already.
Bob Mackie

• Wal-Mart isn’t about to become a fashion powerhouse. How can you sell fashion with nine aisles of dog food, detergent and chicken?
Howard Davidowitz

• Take a plain low-priced product like jeans and embellish it with design. Suddenly it becomes a ‘fashion’ jeans.
Howard Davidowitz

• I design for real people. I think of our customers all the time. There is no virtue whatsoever in creating clothing or accessories that are not practical.
Giorgio Armani

• It’s all about good taste.
Giorgio Armani

• I’ve always thought of the T-shirt as the Alpha and Omega of the fashion alphabet,… The White T.
Giorgio Armani

• Accessories are important and becoming more and more important every day.
Giorgio Armani

• Actually I am very glad that people can buy Armani — even if it’s a fake. I like the fact that I’m so popular around the world.
Giorgio Armani

• The products that are moving out of the stores the fastest are those that are most expensive.
Giorgio Armani

• Androgynous today means that men and women have the same attitude towards what they want to wear, … It’s not unisex dressing, but more the idea that you can see a jacket on a woman in this show, which you can just as easily see on a man.
Giorgio Armani

• The creative universe begins with its essentiality, and, whatever path the imagination takes, ends with its purity… I love the T-shirt as an anti-status symbol, putting rich and poor on the same level in a sheath of white cotton that cancels the distinctions of caste.
Giorgio Armani

• I’ve always been about style for people, not ‘You’re going to wear this outfit,’… It was the way you put yourself together and the imagination, not buying this number off the rack, but the way you wear it.
Ralph Lauren

• Zest is the secret of all beauty. There is no beauty that is attractive without zest.
Christian Dior

• In the beginning nobody believed in us,… I remember the first and second collection we’d call customers, stores and magazines and they’d say ‘Who? Dolce who?’
Stefano Gabbana
