This is very much my philosophy as a fashion designer. I have never believed in design for design’s sake. For me, the most important thing is that people actually wear my clothes. I do not design for the catwalk or for magazine shoots – I design for customers.

Have you ever taken something out of the clothes hamper because it had become, relatively, the cleanest thing?

I’m a label that wants to sell. I believe in clothes.
Giambattista Valli
If you look over the years, the styles have changed – the clothes, the hair, the production, the approach to the songs. The icing to the cake has changed flavors. But if you really look at the cake itself, it’s really the same.
For the longest time, I thought I was a boy. I really did. I wore boys’ clothes, played tag football.

I am completely, utterly obsessed with clothes. To an embarrassing extent.
I don’t feel comfortable defending my clothes. But if you’ve got the money to afford them, then buy something from me. Just don’t buy too much.

Carl Friedrich Gauss

The standardization of world culture, with local popular or traditional forms driven out or dumbed down to make way for American television, American music, food, clothes and films, has been seen by many as the very heart of globalization.
Fredric Jameson

The flapper has charm, good looks, good clothes, intellect and a healthy point of view.
Colleen Moore
There was years when my father didn’t even make a hundred grand – or barely made a hundred grand – and sure, we had a maid, but she only came twice a week. What do you think happened the other five days? You think those dishes washed themselves? You think those clothes got themselves in the hamper?
They never ask the celebrities why they don’t wear their own clothes on the red carpet.
I still get butterflies when I’m doing a runway show. The music starts, you’re wearing these gorgeous clothes and your nervous about your high heels, if your shoes are going to break, if your going to slip or do something wrong.
I say, beware of all enterprises that require new clothes, and not rather a new wearer of clothes.
I admire a person who, for the love of art, is able to take off their clothes in front of a camera. But I’m not capable, I’m too cowardly for that.
I want to tell people how to live spiritually. After you’ve bought all your houses and your clothes, you want something bigger.
Clothes have memories, and sometimes you don’t want to remember. People remember where they bought the clothes, who gave them, or where they stole them from.
Everyone who comes out does a very foolish thing in bringing such a quantity of clothes that he never wants.
William John Wills
I am a complete sentimentalist when it comes to clothes. I have so many memories attached to them that I can’t throw anything out.
I always have to brace myself when I visit my parents. My mom often greets me with a slew of nonconstructive criticisms: ‘Jimmy, why is your face so fat? Your clothes look homeless and your long hair makes you look like a girl.’ After 30 years of this, my self-image is now a fat homeless lesbian.
I rarely wear clothes when I’m home by myself. I love making breakfast naked. But you’ve got to make sure the gardener‘s not coming that day.
You know Hollywood is a weird and wonderful place, I didn’t know I Dream of Jeanie had been cancelled after 5 years until I went back to go on the lot to pick up some clothes and things I had in my dressing room.
The Bible tells us that God will meet all our needs. He feeds the birds of the air and clothes the grass with the splendor of lilies. How much more, then, will He care for us, who are made in His image? Our only concern is to obey the heavenly Father and leave the consequences to Him.
I used to dress up in my mom’s old clothes and play with these kids from the neighbourhood and make up stories: I would pretend that we were all vampires.
For so long Versace couture was identified with celebrities and music, which I love. But at the same time it could overwhelm the clothes.
I like the discipline of well-cut, impeccable clothes. I think it’s a very healthy discipline.
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.
Me and my friend Ioan Gruffudd are like chalk and cheese when it comes to clothes. He lives for his clothes and has an amazing wardrobe. If we’re going out I’ll turn up at his house and say, ‘I haven’t got anything to wear,’ and he’ll tut and sigh and then lend me something swanky.
Obviously if you are an accountant, a criminal lawyer, a president, or a senator, or if you work in a funeral parlor, you have to wear a tie, but more and more people are wearing very casual clothes.

Music has its own depths, and I let it take me where it takes me, even if it means stripping all my clothes off.
Having done ‘M. Butterfly,’ I’m conscious of the choices women make with their clothes and makeup on screen.
I have never been a believer that nice clothes should only be for people with money.
At Rent the Runway, we rent designer clothes. We have a belief set that half of the closet over time is going to move into the cloud, and a portion of what we wear every single day will be comprised of things that we don’t own forever.
Also we will be carrying food and clothes for the Expedition Two crew. And as well as spare parts for the EVA that will be conducted from the station in the following months.

I am young, and I am cool, and I want to wear cool clothes!
Aidy Bryant
I love black and white and very simple and classic clothes.

When we did Dynasty, it was the clothes. I think the clothes affected every woman around the world. I got so many letters, I think we made the designer a millionaire!
Correspondences are like small clothes before the invention of suspenders; it is impossible to keep them up.
You have to pretend to live in those clothes that they lived in, to live within the climate that they had then. You have to imagine with the help, obviously, of all the other technicians that are around – the writer, the director, the other actors.
I work with structure, but I go outside the box and give it my own spin. I adore the challenge of creating truly modern clothes – where a woman’s personality and sense of style are realized.
One of the strangest things about being an actor is that people you don’t know feel that they are allowed to comment on your hair, body, clothes, relationships.
Courtney Thorne-Smith
Most of the models have this thing I call slouchy sexy, not only in the way they dress, but in the way carry themselves. I don’t think they would look hot in one of my dresses. They are more into A. Wang. Most of my clothes are nerdy sexy.
In Los Angeles, I’m always in Fred Segal. It’s become a ritual. I have lunch and then buy lots of things I don’t need. Usually tons of clothes for the kids that they grow out of in 10 seconds.
Ozwald Boateng
I say, beware of all enterprises that require new clothes, and not rather a new wearer of clothes.
Unfortunately, the greatest photographers don’t pay extreme attention to the clothes. If they decide to put a dress in a bathtub or in front of a cow in the countryside with dirt everywhere, well, the dresses come back… ready to be put in the garbage.
Valentino Garavani
It doesn’t matter what kind of clothes you put on: if you’re a stylish individual, you’re going to preserve that.
I was spoiled growing up. My dad would really spoil us. He would bring us to high-end stores and ask us to please try on those clothes. He’d make us try on all the pretty clothes, modeling like that… He liked dressing us up, my dad and my mom they loved dressing up.
Whenever I’m in sync with the trends, it’s always an accident. I still love wearing clothes I’ve had for ten years. I think understated luxury is the chicest thing.
I have lots of clothes that I don’t wear because I’m bad for impulse buying. They sit in my cupboard looking forlorn, but if I haven’t worn something for a couple of months, I usually realise that it would be much better off in one of my friends’ wardrobes.
Indigenous people all over the world take quite a lot of trouble with their hair and their clothes.
Guys don’t really care, they just want to get the clothes off.
Nelly Furtado
When I went to Los Angeles right after high school, I got some acting jobs, and I never, ever wanted to be an actress! Public speaking and acting make me want to vomit. But I have never been nervous singing. When it comes to public speaking, I stumble on my words, sweat, and pull at my clothes.
I couldn’t believe they were saying I put a horrible fake plastic bosom over scars I was trying to heal and keep it in place with a tight bra, which could stop my blood flow, just so I could fit into my clothes.
Koo Stark
These parks are our life’s work, not the clothing chains we created, selling people clothes they don’t need.
And yes, the Homesteaders, including my grandparents who left behind almost nothing, and arrived in Montana with nothing but the clothes on their back, high hopes, faith in God and dreaming of the future.
Brian Schweitzer
I’d like to have no rules and eat what I want, but I’ve learned over the years that I’m so disappointed when I can’t wear the clothes I want to wear.
I don’t think women should look like costumes. I don’t think they should look like fashion victims. I think these (clothes) are for women that want to look sexy. They want to look smart.
All the awards in the world, you can get into all the nightclubs, they’ll send you the nicest clothes. Nothing better than walking into your dad’s restaurant and seeing a smile on his face and knowing that your mom and dad and your sister are real proud of you.
I love fashion, but I don’t come from a background of loving clothes, and I remember feeling badly dressed from a young age.
She had a womanly instinct that clothes possess an influence more powerful over many than the worth of character or the magic of manners.
Summer is the time when one sheds one’s tensions with one’s clothes, and the right kind of day is jeweled balm for the battered spirit. A few of those days and you can become drunk with the belief that all’s right with the world.
Ada Louise Huxtable
I’m not materialistic. I love clothes and all that stuff, but I don’t need it to live.
I made it about a three-day weekend so people wouldn’t have to change their clothes a lot. We didn’t have an art department; we didn’t have a make-up department.
I don’t design clothes, I design dreams.
I have a friend in New York who’s a stylist and I went over to her place because she’s got a lot of clothes. I basically ended up wearing most of it. So it’s all stuff that I brought over.
Only men who are not interested in women are interested in women’s clothes. Men who like women never notice what they wear.
Femininity is not just lipstick, stylish hairdos, and trendy clothes. It is the divine adornment of humanity. It finds expression in your qualities of your capacity to love, your spirituality, delicacy, radiance, sensitivity, creativity, charm, graciousness, gentleness, dignity, and quiet strength.
I have an allowance for clothes and stuff.

I have an allowance for clothes and stuff.
It didn’t matter that I wore clothes from Sears; I was still different. I looked different. My name was different. I wanted to pull away from the things that marked my parents as being different.
The focus on my appearance has really surprised me. I’ve always been a size 14 to 16, I don’t care about clothes, I’d rather spend my money on cigarettes and booze.
I am not interested in perfection, and neither are the women who wear my clothes.
I usually talk about clothes in terms of a story rather than a colour.
I like to express myself through the clothes that I wear.

I buy my own clothes. I have a teacher‘s salary.
It’s just really important I think for fashion to be affordable, because everyone should have the opportunity to wear cute things and be happy and comfortable in what they are wearing. That’s definitely how I like to shop and how I like to think about clothes and fashion.
Alcohol is like love. The first kiss is magic, the second is intimate, the third is routine. After that you take the girl’s clothes off.
It’s funny that it all becomes about clothes. It’s bizarre. You work your butt off and then you win an award and it’s all about your dress. You can’t get away from it.
I love clothes. I can’t control myself. I have a huge fetish for shoes and clothes and make-up. I’m the kind of person who doesn’t like to wear things over and over again.
There was a time in my life when I thought I had everything – millions of dollars, mansions, cars, nice clothes, beautiful women, and every other materialistic thing you can imagine. Now I struggle for peace.
I knew who Jackie Kennedy was in terms of being the wife of JFK and being a clothes horse, and I knew that she later married Onassis, but I had a very, very vague idea of who he was.
Lydia Leonard
The clothes that I design and everything I’ve done is about life and how people live and how they want to live and how they dream they’ll live. That’s what I do.
Clothes are fun. The designers have so much fun making them, you should have fun wearing them, too.
People put on certain clothes for certain reasons, I assume, when their closet is filled with clothes.
The idea of taking off my shoes and trying on all these clothes is so exhausting, I just leave.
Lexa Doig
I’ve always been into fashion since I was a kid. I love fashion. I appreciate it. I just enjoy dressing up and getting all the new sneakers and all the hot exclusive clothes – I did even when I was young.
Future
I like to delude myself that I’m in the old-Hollywood mode. I just tailor my clothes well and try to keep my skin clear. While it would be great to work out an hour a day, there is something inherently sort of selfish about it. I can’t do it.
Poetry is truth in its Sunday clothes.
Joseph Roux
You go from movies where you are wearing nice clothes and you’re trying to smell good to a movie where you are in water and you are wet all day, and you are dealing with that elements, it gets rough, but it was definitely something I wanted to try.
A man or woman can be known and respected for good taste, regardless of job or income level, if they make good choices in clothes, have good table manners, are kind and organize their home to look warm, welcoming, clean, and appropriate to their station in life.
I think the kids in school that laughed at the clothes that we wore and the house that we lived in, and then my mother had to cut hair… I think that was a good motivator. Every time they laughed at me, they just built a fire, and there was only one way to put it out – to try and show ’em I was as good as they were.
Jimmy Dean
When I work, I wear pants usually because I want to be comfortable. I wear dark colors, especially in winter, because I don’t want to concentrate on myself but on what I’m working on. Because I really, really love clothes, I can start to think too much about myself. It’s distracting.
Our goal is to teach young women who were brought up on H&M and Forever 21 that designer clothes are expensive for a reason. They’re works of art.
I just feel my sexuality is private. I’m very shy about being sexy. That part of me has been so closed to the public eye. I’ve sold millions of records with my clothes on.
I’m like every other woman: a closet full of clothes, but nothing to wear: So I wear jeans.
In my early days in Hollywood I tried to be economical. I designed my own clothes, much to my mother’s distress.
I am slim but I’ve got a lot of wobble! I wear tight clothes and it holds it all in but genuinely I’m covered in cellulite – that’s why I almost never wear skirts.
You don’t need really expensive clothes to look cute.
Christy Romano

It’s so easy to be insecure about your looks or if you’re wearing the right clothes, or your hair and makeup. And I think it’s just so important to stay true to who you are.
I’m like every other woman: a closet full of clothes, but nothing to wear: So I wear jeans.
Anne is very forgiving. She doesn’t care about money, being rich, or clothes. We never argued about finances.
Jerry Stiller
I work for wardrobe. Whenever I need clothes, I take a job. If I get maybe like six changes, then I’ll be a grandmother, I don’t care.
Suzanne Pleshette
I create music; I create painting; I create whatever I want to create. I create, what you say, clothes. I create, I don’t know, dance move. I create anything.
I don’t really weigh myself, but over time – and I’m not crazy about it – but I know how I want to feel in clothes, and it does become addicting, and once you see results, you want to see more.
I find clothes so constricting!
If I don’t do laundry today, I’m gonna have to buy new clothes tomorrow.
You have no idea how humiliating it was, as a boy, to suddenly have all your clothes, your toys, snatched by the bailiff. I mean we were a middle-class family, it’s not as if it was happening up and down the street. It made me ashamed, I felt dirty.
I tell you why I like Chanel so much: when I started off, no one wanted to give me clothes to wear. Absolutely no one! All the labels said, ‘Who is she?’ But Chanel believed in me from the very beginning.
I don’t have makeup on all the time, but when I want, I have fun with my friends choosing clothes and putting nail polish on.
I personally battled with my own body image for years. I used to tell myself, You can’t wear anything sleeveless or strapless. And all of a sudden I was like, What if I just didn’t send such negative messages to my brain and said, wear it and enjoy it? And now I’m more comfortable in clothes than ever.
We get to wear a lot of pretty and fancy clothes for our performances and videos, so in my daily life, I like to be really comfortable.
Buy less. Choose well. Make it last. Quality, not quantity. Everybody’s buying far too many clothes.
One of my biggest pet peeves is well-dressed designers. If you spend that much time thinking about your own clothes, you’re not spending enough time thinking about what you’re designing.
I myself had to grow a longer beard and Afghan clothes. I was in danger of being kidnapped by smugglers, though I didn’t know it at the time.
I’m better with my hands, and I always loved the slightly romantic idea of starting with bits of wood and being able to create something to sit on, to eat from, to store your clothes in.
I think some people would love to be able to make the clothes I make – and of course, I do influence them, but they keep simplifying, and minimalism doesn’t quite work.
I want to make clothes that are beautiful of course, but also clothes that are interesting and considered and intelligent and not out of place.
I’ve been to nudist beaches, like twice. But honestly, I just don’t want to see these people naked. Most people look better with their clothes on, and the few that don’t, look better than you, so why bother?
Peter Buck
When I am an old woman, I will stop trying to look beautiful. I will quit wearing makeup and buying uncomfortable clothes because they look good. Maybe I will take up nudism.
Rachel Corrie
My thing is related to who I am as a person. The clothes are an extension of me. The music is an extension of me. All my businesses are part of the culture, so I have to stay true to whatever I’m feeling at the time, whatever direction I’m heading in. And hopefully, everyone follows.
All the clothes in my closet are Oakland, California, clothes. You can’t wear those anywhere else. The barometric pressure drops and then where are you?
If I had to choose between clothes and furniture, I’d choose furniture.
I would wear flamboyant clothes and long hair, and most singers at the time didn’t.
I will bring in style, clothes, high heels, laugh and positivity.
Like in great painting and architecture, in couture, to make clothes you must eliminate, eliminate, eliminate to obtain the true sense of a line. You see, the more you add, the more you load on, the more it’s mad. You must try to have just the silhouette, which is an intelligence in clothes.
I really love secondhand clothes. It’s fun to turn them into something new.
I think there’s something charming about incorporating summer clothes into winter, like pairing a summery skirt with a massive sweater. I’m also really into layering during the winter!
I’m not interested in celebrities, with their free dresses. I’m interested in clothes.
Bill Cunningham
My mother wanted me off her hands. She was a working woman. She designed clothes, and she was a celebrity collector. It’s my mother’s ambition to be a celebrity.
Judge not a man by his clothes, but by his wife's cloth

Judge not a man by his clothes, but by his wife‘s clothes.
Thomas Dewar
I love to come in and play with a wig or glasses or clothes. I love using props. I’m from the Peter Sellers school of trying to prepare for the character.
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, and it’s about lifestyle. I believe women of all ages can wear anything.
I’ve never been in love with fashion, actually; trends and catwalks don’t interest me. I love clothes; I love them historically and currently. They represent a spirit of the times and the zeitgeist.
Tim Walker
It’s a terrific responsibility trying to look right. There is so much to think about – clothes, makeup, hair. You have to look right for your fans.
Remember that with her clothes a woman puts off her modesty.
Because of my crazy work schedule, I have become something of a master at changing my clothes while driving. The men driving next to me love it.
Vanessa Marcil
I wouldn’t do nudity in films. For me, personally… To act with my clothes on is a performance; to act with my clothes off is a documentary.
I find it grotesque when clothes hit you in the face and there’s no room for fault. But I don’t expect to turn things around all by myself. I’m not a saint.
I like classics but I always add a twist because I don’t like to think of my clothes as classic.
Monique Lhuillier
The few pounds we spend for an item of clothing isn’t the true cost – the real cost is the millions of gallons of clean water that was used to grow the fabric, or the millions of gallons of fresh water that was polluted with toxic chemicals to dye the clothes.
I think it is childish for men to joke about women’s clothes, to make fun of our hats, to complain over the cost of a good fur coat.
We are, at almost every point of our day, immersed in cultural diversity: faces, clothes, smells, attitudes, values, traditions, behaviours, beliefs, rituals.
For work, I wear art; in real life, I wear clothes.
Sometimes I put on a ski mask and dress in old clothes, go out on the streets and beg for quarters.
To see that the campaign I did for Kate Spade is on the home page, that’s insane. The number of times I’ve logged onto this website and just dreamed about all these clothes, and now I’m in this campaign – I’m so blessed.
He was a tubby little chap who looked as if he had been poured into his clothes and had forgotten to say ‘when!’
P. G. Wodehouse
I got rid of my glasses and they changed my hair. That’s really all they did. They went shopping for me, so the clothes are different too. It wasn’t like Extreme Makeover where I got a nose job or anything.
I don’t have much time for shopping so I pick things up when I can. My favorite labels are APC, Isabel Marant and Agnes B because the clothes are cut small and have a simplicity to them.
An athletic man, or whatever you want to call him, will only look good in a very classic suit, a pair of classic jeans, athletic clothes or simply naked. Forget fashion. This is not going to happen, unless you want to look like a Chippendales dancer in designer clothes.
My stylist has really great taste – Petra Flannery has really great taste. I mean, I am opinionated, and as time goes on, as I’ve gotten to see more dresses or more clothes, it’s easier to say, ‘I like that’ or ‘I don’t like that,’ but it’s nothing I would ever, you know, design.
A woman is never sexier than when she is comfortable in her clothes.
I started working on a line of clothes last year, but right now we’re kind of at a standstill.
Beverley Mitchell
I love those preliminary conversations about who a character is. You try on wigs, shoes and clothes. It’s preferable when it’s not about looking pretty. It can get a little dull to just be cute. We talk about things like, maybe my character can’t afford these Christian Louboutins.
People always comment about my clothes. They don’t think a fashionable woman can love food and be knowledgeable and actually cook.
Clothes and manners do not make the man; but when he is made, they greatly improve his appearance.
Arthur Ashe
I always loved fashion and clothes. Not because I think that’s a woman’s place, but because I care about aesthetics. I like art; I like going to art museums, and to me, these things are just manifestations of one’s aesthetic sense.
I still take advice from my mum on what clothes look good on me. I used to listen to her a lot more, but I’ve started to choose my own things from time to time.
Being an actress is similar to trying to fit in with the popular kids in high school. You’re expected to drive the right car, wear the right clothes and say the right things.
My on-set, keep-warm jacket is a Patagonia, and they make sure the people who make their clothes are paid fairly, along with a load of other great stuff and initiatives. They’re a business, but they put their money where their mouth is in terms of caring and responsibility.
Because I love shopping, my house is overflowing with clothes. Most of them were bought by myself.
I like longer clothes.

I like longer clothes.
Wear comfortable clothes when you fly; my preference is T-shirt and jeans.
It is what it is, and it’s a crazy job – I literally touch letters and wear pretty clothes, and how do you describe that job? It’s weird, but I’ve been doing it for a long time, and I’ll be first to make fun of it – I really will – but I wouldn’t trade it for anything else in world.
Put off thy cares with thy clothes; so shall thy rest strengthen thy labor, and so thy labor sweeten thy rest.
Francis Quarles
To say something nice about yourself, this is the hardest thing in the world for people to do. They’d rather take their clothes off.
Nancy Friday
If you look over the years, the styles have changed – the clothes, the hair, the production, the approach to the songs. The icing to the cake has changed flavors. But if you really look at the cake itself, it’s really the same.
When I was growing up as a little girl and as a teenager, I loved designing and making dogs‘ clothes and wanting to be a fashion designer. I took art and ceramics. I loved dance.
Alcohol is like love. The first kiss is magic, the second is intimate, the third is routine. After that you take the girl’s clothes off.
I met this wonderful girl at Macy’s. She was buying clothes and I was putting Slinkies on the escalator.
I didn’t figure out the makeup or cute hair or clothes until oh, maybe my junior year of high school.
If you wear clothes that don’t suit you, you’re a fashion victim. You have to wear clothes that make you look better.
I honestly believe that advertising is the most fun you can have with your clothes on.
It’s always nerve-racking to take off your clothes on film. But doing it with a woman felt safer than with a man. You know you can say, ‘Don’t grab me there: That’s where my cellulite is’!
That’s how I taught myself how to draw – tracing the ads and petting new clothes on the models.
Stephen Sprouse
Shapewear is the canvas and the clothes are the art.
Perhaps one of the most difficult things for us to do is to choose a notable and joyous dress for men. There would be more joy in life if we were to accustom ourselves to use all the beautiful colours we can in fashioning our own clothes.
I think it’s a different experience for plus-size women in film and television to get clothes for events. It’s just not as welcoming for us to get cool clothes that are, like, equal in glamour, in style, to what, I am going to say, ‘small size’ co-stars get to wear.
Aidy Bryant
I love being able to wear dresses and clothes that make me feel feminine and beautiful, and I love the fact that I don’t have to all the time; I can wear a tank and jeans.
I’m a designer of more than clothes. I am a designer of a very creative concept.
I have lost a lot of clothes over the years… Probably the oldest garment that I still have would be my Union Jack jacket from John Galliano’s spring/summer 1993 show.
We like wearing cute clothes and stuff.
I have often said that I wish I had invented blue jeans: the most spectacular, the most practical, the most relaxed and nonchalant. They have expression, modesty, sex appeal, simplicity – all I hope for in my clothes.
In designing a lifestyle brand, you have to know more than just designing clothes.
I love clothes but it’s a struggle for me to get out of jeans and a baggy jumper.
It is the eye of other people that ruin us. If I were blind I would want, neither fine clothes, fine houses or fine furniture.
When I entered high school I was an A-student, but not for long. I wanted the fancy clothes. I wanted to hang out with the guys. I went from being an A-student to a B-student to a C-student, but I didn’t care. I was getting the high fives and the low fives and the pats on the back. I was cool.
I’m not into street clothes. Don’t understand it. I don’t understand those over-exaggerated jean sizes so they hang off your back… I just don’t understand it.
Ozwald Boateng
People, when they say ‘streetwear,’ they miss the central component, which is that it’s real people; it’s clothes that are worn on the street.
I believe in comfort. If you don’t feel comfortable in your clothes, it’s hard to think of anything else.
Clothes should look as if a woman was born into them. It is a form of possession, this belonging to one another.
Geoffrey Beene
I don’t spend much money on clothes; I never did.
Lauren Hutton
I have too many clothes, I have too many options.

I have too many clothes, I have too many options.
That’s what it is every time you walk into the room to write with someone new. It’s like, oh god I have to take my clothes off ‘my creative clothes’ and let them see all of my flaws.
Cynthia Weil
It was tough trying to figure out how to put on all the women’s clothes.
Barry Watson
Men make clothes for the women they’d like to be with or in most cases the women they’d like to be.
Robert Altman
A friend of mine has a big farm in the desert, and she picks up feathers and roadkill for me, then makes it into clothes. I think it’s cool to wear roadkill. If I died and somebody wanted to wear my teeth around their neck to VMAs, I’d feel honored.
I’m not interested in making clothes that are not accessible.
My grandma, Nai Nai, has had the clothes she wants to be buried prepared since she was like 60. I guess there is an openness to discussing. It’s part of life. It’s part of the every day.
Diets, like clothes, should be tailored to you.
I don’t waste money on smart, expensive clothes.
Kirsty Gallacher
I’m a bit of a clothes hoarder, admittedly.
When the OutKast sound changed and I started producing my own records, I would mirror what I thought that character doing that music would look like. As the sound got a little wilder, freakier and funkier, so did the clothes. Then when the sound got more sophisticated, the clothes changed again.
Andre Benjamin
Clothes make me dizzy.
Clothes make the poor invisible. America has the best-dressed poverty the world has ever known.
Michael Harrington
The reason I go for the designers is because they make me feel good. It’s about finding clothes that make you feel good as a woman. If I like it, I’ll wear it. You have to go with your instincts and not be led by trends.
Cheryl Cole
I think a woman’s body is so much more sensual than a man’s. I’m not saying strip off all your clothes, but there are certain photos I like people taking of me, where I’m comfortable. As long as it’s tasteful, why not?
I love those preliminary conversations about who a character is. You try on wigs, shoes, and clothes. It’s preferable when it’s not about looking pretty. It can get a little dull to just be cute.
Fashion is more about taste than money – you have to understand your body and tailor clothes to your needs; it’s all about the fit. I do the alterations myself – I’m quite a seamstress – it’s the influence of my Hungarian mother.
I have been blessed with friends who do things rather than buy things: friends who will change books at the library, take a bag of your old clothes to a thrift store, bring you cuttings and plant them in a window box, fill the bird feeder in your garden when you can’t get out.
Just when I think I hate fashion, I hate clothes, I’m seized by this crazy thing that I have to do. I have this little studio now where I just draw. I can be in the room for three days and not even look up.
It’s just been so heartwarming to see my clothes on people in wheelchairs and people needing physical support.
I try very hard not to take work home, but it can be tricky. Sometimes it feels as if you are wearing your costume underneath your own clothes! I suppose things are always ticking away in the back of your mind.
Our clothes are going to pieces fast. Send provisions as soon as possible.
William John Wills
For a long time I had a vintage stall, where I sold men’s vintage clothing, and my girlfriend was convinced it was just to do with a problem I had where I just couldn’t stop buying senseless clothes, even if they didn’t fit me.
James Norton
I bought a lot of rubbish things that kids buy: skateboards and clothes and typical teenage stuff. And, as soon as I could, I wasted a lot of money on cars – BMW’s mostly – for myself and my family.
My mom put me away at 7. I enjoyed it… Being in institutions, I got three meals a day, clothes.
I’ve been wearing Chinese clothes since I was 14. I can’t wear a suit. I’m small, and when I put on a suit, it’s not possible.
You see the hair and the clothes, I look flamboyant. But I’m not the guy with the lake house and the boat. I don’t own a home, or a plane. Really, all I want in life is beer in the fridge and a hot rod.
The nice thing about New York is that you’re finally able to wear those winter clothes that have been sitting in your closet in mothballs.
Designer clothes worn by children are like snowsuits worn by adults. Few can carry it off successfully.
My parents were vegetarians. I’d show up at school, this giant black kid, with none of the cool clothes and a tofu sandwich and celery sticks.
The NBA’s a Fortune 500 company. That’s how you look at it. And all the other Fortune 500 companies out there in the world, you don’t see their CEOs and COOs going to work with white tees and baggy clothes and stuff like that. So I have to take that same approach.
Carmelo Anthony
But with period clothes, people know less so they accep

But with period clothes, people know less so they accept the pretty drawing that I give them.
Women’s fashion is a subtle form of bondage. It’s men’s way of binding them. We put them in these tight, high-heeled shoes, we make them wear these tight clothes and we say they look sexy. But they’re actually tied up.
I had no money to buy clothes, and people would run away when I walked down the street. It was a right laugh.
Sid Vicious
I really fell in love with the art of making clothes when I was dancing on tour. Creating my stage image through clothes was a blast. I discovered a total sense for what cool chicks and rockin’ dudes like to wear. Total Skull is for those people. People that like to rock – total rock.
Sheri Moon Zombie
I like trendy clothes just like everybody else does.
Chrisette Michele
It’s always nice to have new clothes made for you.
I bought a lot of rubbish things that kids buy: skateboards and clothes and typical teenage stuff.
It’s not my style to either wear minimum clothes, to strip, or to even be comfortable with a sex-symbol label. I just want to do good work instead of sporting such meaningless tags. Sex sells, but to a small extent, not always. And this is what filmmakers have to accept.
It doesn’t matter about money; having it, not having it. Or having clothes, or not having them. You’re still left alone with yourself in the end.
Billy Idol
Progressive societies outgrow institutions as children outgrow clothes.
Henry George
I used to wear boxers and a tank top, but now I sleep in the nude. It’s kind of weird, because I used to have to wear something to bed, whether it was a tank top or whatever. And now if I have any clothes at all on, it’s really hard to get to sleep.
But most distinctly, I remember always saying to myself that when I get big, I’m not going to go to bed hungry, I’m not going to wear hand-me-down clothes.
I get maximum satisfaction out of buying children’s clothes online.
Samantha Bee
I love clothes. Maybe I can say I don’t love fashion, but I love clothes completely.
On TV people look at your hair and then they look at your skin, and then they look at your clothes, and by the time they’re listening to what you’re saying, you’re off the screen.
I met Rubina at a friend’s house during Ganpati. I checked her out as she looked resplendent in a sari. You generally see girls in western clothes and then you get to see that someone can look so stunning in a sari as well. So I saw her and I was like, wow she’s beautiful.
A designer is only as good as the star who wears her clothes.
I wear clothes reflecting the color of my soul!
I always plan what I’m going to wear, although I hope my clothes say that I look really good and I’ve not thought about it! Ironing is part of the preparation, so I don’t mind it.
I like the concept of dressing people. I used to not care whether people bought the clothes or not, but I kind of like it now. I wouldn’t label that commercialism; it’s more like I do this work because I want people to wear it.
When I wear Chanel, I feel like I’m not just wearing clothes: I’m wearing Chanel.
Because of what’s going on with the economy, I think women are realizing that maybe they don’t need a closet full of clothes. They just need the right clothes.
You can make sure your kids make their beds and hang up their clothes and put their dishes in the dishwasher when you’re the one calling the shots. So, parenting alone, for me anyway, I think is almost easier, being single.
When you stand up acoustic in front of an audience, you really are a man without any clothes on. And that can be fun – it depends how much of an exhibitionist you are, I suppose. I quite enjoy it.
Richard Thompson
A lot of people still think caring about clothes is a dubious, unserious, frivolous, girlie thing.
One of the most important things to me is to make things real, not have models who are perfectly groomed or clothes that are too perfect. It all has to have a twist because that’s how people live.
I kept my clothes on. I borrowed money.
Estella Warren
I put on clothes to reminisce.
There’s a tendency to think that young designers only do fantasy fashion, but I’m more interested in making clothes that women can afford.
Part of what made ‘The Bling Ring’ such a fun, freeing experience was that we got to wear these really over-the-top clothes we’d never pick in real life – like for the nightclub scenes, we’d have on these really short, really tight dresses. But you know what – I actually learned how to walk in heels on that set!
Taissa Farmiga
I would only create clothes myself if I felt I could do something really different – create a new style subculture for my generation – and that is very ambitious.
I like to wear beautiful clothes, but I don't have that

I like to wear beautiful clothes, but I don’t have that many.
Everybody looks at his clothes to see what he’s wearing.
Tim Hardaway
Diets, like clothes, should be tailored to you.
North Americans as a whole need to embrace having clothes altered to their body. I hear it all the time: why do the Europeans always look so good? They have a relationship with their tailor and spend the time and money to make their clothes look their best.
People said making clothes inside out was not proper. I disagreed, because clothes that are inside out are as beautiful as a cathedral.
The prisoners eyed the clothes some time, and laughed a good deal among themselves before they put them on.
Lewis Tappan
I have a serious love for clothes, like no other.
I don’t want to be an artist, go on tour and make a video and wear sexy clothes. I would just love to make music.
I’ve always been a little shy about taking my clothes off, but I don’t worry about it any more.
Potato-chip news‘ is news that’s repetitive, requires little effort to absorb, and is consumable in massive quantities: true crime, natural disasters, political punditry, celebrity gossip, sports gossip, or endless photographs of beautiful houses, food, or clothes.
Fashion is never in crisis because clothes are always necessary.
Achille Maramotti
I was the girl who nobody thought would ever get married. I was going to be a fashion nun the rest of my life. There are generations of them, those fashion nuns, living, eating, breathing clothes.
In today’s world everything is political. We are a statement – our clothes, haircut, the way we act.
Clothes, thank God I can get them from designers.
Patricia Velasquez
When you’re shooting you go to references in your mind. You think about how you should stand in these particular clothes, or how you should move. You think about the different characters you’re playing, really.
Death means change our clothes. Clothes become old, then time to come change. So this body become old, and then time come, take young body.
I wasn’t really naked. I simply didn’t have any clothes on.
There are tons of people who are late to trends by nature and adopt a trend after it’s no longer in fashion. They exist in mutual funds. They exist in clothes. They exist in cars. They exist in lifestyles.
I stopped making movies because I don’t like taking my clothes off. Maybe it’s realism, but in my opinion, it’s utter filth.
I don’t have advice for people on how to dress. People should dress based on what they find beautiful. My best advice: Keep your clothes clean.
Fashion to me has become very disposable; I wanted to get back to craft, to clothes that could last.
I try to make my bed every day for mental health. Coming home to an unmade bed or a room with clothes all over will depress me.
David Alan Grier
We sort of expect to see men in women’s clothes. It’s part of our culture. The key thing is, it has to be done quite badly.
If you don’t take your clothes seriously, why should your viewers take you seriously?
To have all your life’s work and to have them along the wall, it’s like walking in with no clothes on. It’s terrible.
Andrew Wyeth
Drip is your attire, the clothes you wear.
Clothes if they are not well cut, you can kill nobody. A building poorly built can kill people. It’s a much more difficult work. I would not compare myself with that.
I love clothes, but I don’t know what to put on myself, let alone others. I have a lot of help getting dressed.
Nothing earth-shattering has happened in men’s fashion. How much can you do with men’s clothes?
I did not find living alone difficult. In fact, it was such a liberating feeling because simple things like ironing my clothes, doing laundry, making my bed made me feel independent and gave me the sense of accomplishment that I can do it myself.
I think in spring, we don’t want to wear makeup, we don’t want to wear a ton of clothes, we just want everything to be easier.
I love beautiful things; I like having nice clothes, an

I love beautiful things; I like having nice clothes, and I can appreciate why other people do – but I’ve also started to learn more about the impact of what we buy: how things are made, how much you buy and the quality of everything.
Well, I’m comfortable in all kinds of clothes – Indian, Western, casual, formal. I shop for them wherever I go.
I own my own company, so I’ve never had businessmen telling me what to do or getting worried if something doesn’t sell. I’ve always had my own access to the public, because I started off making my clothes for a little shop and so I’ve always had people buying them.
It’s an addiction. I love clothes. I like to go down Melrose and look in all the windows and I go to different flea markets. I have lots of costumes. You never know when you’re going to have to dress up like a milkmaid from the 1600s.
I once did a role which I couldn’t rehearse in my street clothes, I had to have the character’s costume on before I could rehearse it. I just couldn’t think as the character unless I looked like him, or I knew that I looked like him.
Tom Wilkinson
Never judge a stranger by his clothes.
I remember a specific moment, watching my grandmother hang the clothes on the line, and her saying to me, ‘you are going to have to learn to do this,’ and me being in that space of awareness and knowing that my life would not be the same as my grandmother’s life.
I’m not sure I should reveal the sources of my clothes.
He is like a bad dog, Bez. We lived together in a flat and if you didn’t get up before him, he would get up and he would take your clothes.
The whole thing of clothes is insane. You can spend a dollar on a jacket in a thrift store. And you can spend a thousand dollars on a jacket in a shop. And if you saw those two jackets walking down the street, you probably wouldn’t know which was which.
I find the whole concept of being ‘sexy’ embarrassing and confusing. If I do a photo-shoot, people desperately want to change me – dye my hair blonder, pluck my eyebrows, give me a fringe. Then there’s the choice of clothes. I know everyone wants a picture of me in a mini-skirt. But that’s not me.
Artists and musicians of the Sixties were definitely into clothes.
I don’t have the luxury of making clothes just to make an effect. It can’t be something totally frivolous, because my distributors have to have a successful season, too.
I like old movies, screwball comedies, vintage clothes, and basically I’m an old-fashioned gal.
I would like to do a part that would stretch me. In America it seems to me that you just take your clothes off and that helps, but I wouldn’t want to do that.
I believe that my clothes can give people a better image of themselves – that it can increase their feelings of confidence and happiness.
I like styling girls that don’t normally dress in vintage clothes and don’t normally wear red lipstick; I like seeing those kind of girls restyled in a retro way.
I collect clothes – they keep building and building. I buy them instead of having them washed.
I had a drag mom but she didn’t really teach me about makeup. She just basically stuck me into gigs. And then I borrowed clothes from her and her drag to play the gigs.
Glamour, for me, is looking good. It has nothing to do with short clothes.
I don’t have a real home. When I got ‘Avatar,’ I sold everything that I owned because I knew it was going to be a long journey. I’ve got two bags, and that was four years ago, and I’ve been working ever since, and I’ve still only got two bags – a bag of books and a bag of clothes. That’s about it.
But it’s cool working with female directors because I’m a girl, so you do relate to them more. You can talk to them about other stuff like clothes and all that.
Once somebody is known, it seems as though anybody anywhere can say anything about them. Whereas if I simply stopped someone in the street and criticised their clothes, their work, their parents, their inner being, I’d be sued and I’d be thrown in prison.
Common sense is genius dressed in its working clothes.
I mean, the shoe – there is a music to it, there is attitude, there is sound, it’s a movement. Clothes – it’s a different story. There are a million things I’d rather do before designing clothes: directing, landscaping.
I try not to be but I’m super-neurotic about diet. I’m neurotic about trying not to be neurotic! I’m like every other girl. I have to try really hard my whole life to try to be fit. And I’m super-vain. And I want to wear cute clothes.
The problem with me is, anything that’s easy I will just overdo it. Especially with clothes. But I’m 14 – my mom is super-strict about that.
I got into my very theatrical phase. I wore only black: a big black hat and wild hair and wild black clothes, and I carried a sword stick. I went there still looking like Miss Florida, and I came back looking very different.
We were poor. My mother got our clothes out of the free box at the church, you know? So much of when you’re a kid is about relating about what you watch on TV. And who’s got these cooler shoes, and ‘Let’s trade lunches.’ And I was just like, ‘I don’t have a television. I have a rock and a piece of tofu.’
For each episode the five of us are all wearing clothes by the same designer. It’s a different designer for each episode, but for each one we’re all wearing their clothes.
Armani’s clothes are beautiful and modern and I love him.
Claire Forlani
Clothes have memories, and sometimes you don't want to

Clothes have memories, and sometimes you don’t want to remember. People remember where they bought the clothes, who gave them, or where they stole them from.
Initially I probably didn’t even call it acting, but dressing up or something. As a kid I think you fully imagine the world in which you want to inhabit, so you put some clothes on and just kind of freely imagine this world, and it’s a total imaginary world.
And costume is so important for an actor. It absolutely helps to get into character; it’s the closest thing to you, it touches you. Some actors like to go into make-up and then put their clothes on, but I like to dress first; that’s my routine.
For my teen years and all of my twenties it felt like I was trying to live up to this expectation of being a man and what that meant – not just what clothes I wore, but how I acted.
15 people in a room looking at you with no clothes on – that’s a little weird.
Callum Turner
I can sketch up a storm, and I’m very involved in how clothes are constructed, but I have a short attention span.
Kip Keino, Moses Tanui, Paul Tergat, they all come from my tribe. Some say it is the food we eat that makes us strong, the way we live. In the history of our people we wear no clothes and we are used to drinking the blood of animals.
Martin Lel
With the Supremes I made so much money so fast all I wanted to do was buy clothes and pretty things. Now I’m comfortable with money and it’s comfortable with me.
Everything I’ve been thinking, every vision, even down to every shot I throw, it just ends up here in reality. Whether it was in a fight and how to react or whether it was in a stadium with screaming fans or whether I was in a fancy car or the best clothes ever, I always put myself somewhere.
Everyone has a best feature, so find clothes and accessories to accentuate those, whether it’s your shoulders or your long legs!
All a woman needs is a good bath, clean clothes, and for her hair to be combed. These things she can do herself. I very seldom go to the hairdresser, but when I do, I just marvel.
I’m from L.A., and when you work out in the day, you usually stay in your workout clothes. So I always liked it where I can go to meetings in my workout clothes and still feel on it and fashionable.
For me, clothes are about individuality. When I wear things that are different and it works, it makes me feel good.
When I was 18 or 19, I realized that everything I was doing was connected to music – writing, doing videos, making my clothes. It all centered around being an artist. So I released a mixtape that I made in my bedroom, and it ended up getting a lot more attention than I expected.
For me, every photograph is a portrait; the clothes are just a vehicle for what I want to say. You’re photographing a relationship with the person you’re shooting; there’s an exchange, and that’s what that picture is.
The whole idea of wearing clothes is not to look ridiculous.
I had no idea of the character. But the moment I was dressed, the clothes and the make-up made me feel the person he was. I began to know him, and by the time I walked onto the stage he was fully born.
As a singer I tried on all these hats, these voices, these clothes, and eventually out came me.
Many come to bring their clothes to church rather than themselves.
I used to work in a clothes store, played cricket for money, did photo shoots. It was that period of struggle which gave me the experience to be an actor. The emotions have to come from the raw material of life.
As a teenager, I used to dress up like a hippie. My clothes weren’t posh.
When I’m older, I want to have my own workout clothes line, like leggings and cute jackets in bright and fun colors.
Portland in particular is a cheap enough place to live that you can still develop your passion – painting, writing, music. People seem less status-conscious. Even wealthy people buy second-hand clothes and look a little bit homeless.
I’m a pretty big clothes horse. I shop for clothes constantly. I do so much shopping. I should go to Shoppers Anonymous.
Once you become successful, people know where you live, the type of house you live in, the kind of car you drive, the clothes you wear, and so it would be patronising to go and talk like a welder. Welding’s a mystery to me now. You can’t go back, your life changes every day.
Throw off your worries when you throw off your clothes at night.
Comfort is very important to me. I think people live better in big houses and in big clothes.
Gianni Versace
The first thing that stuck in the minds of the disciples was not the empty tomb, but rather the empty grave clothes – undisturbed in form and position.
But, what did happen is I went to Woodstock as a member of the audience. I did not show up there with a road manager and a couple of guitars. I showed up with a change of clothes and a toothbrush.
John Sebastian
I’d wear nice clothes and brush my teeth more often if I cared about what people thought.
There were times in my career I went a little further than I wanted because of expectations. Doing certain things onstage when children were in the audience, wearing certain clothes, singing certain lyrics.
Chinese women are much more modest than American women

Chinese women are much more modest than American women when it comes to clothes. We tend to show less flesh.
I dress up for awards, but only if somebody else is going to pay for the clothes. And shop for them, too!
I’m not a big clothes person.
I don’t understand what modern clothes are about at all.
In modeling, my height was a big challenge to overcome, because I was pretty much the shortest girl on the runway whenever I was doing the catwalk. The clothes didn’t fit and the shoes didn’t fit. It was an issue, but luckily, it didn’t prevent me from working.
Devon Aoki
I was the eldest daughter with these four beautiful younger sisters with ringlets and pretty faces, and I used to dress them up in Victorian clothes and take them out for the day and pretend they were mine.
I wouldn’t like to see a chick of mine taking her clothes off and kissing a fellow on screen. And my girls must get very hurt when they see me doing it.
Oliver Reed
In ‘Saami,’ I take a poor dhobi’s son for admission to a private school. The principal refuses for various reasons and finally he points to the boy’s bare body. Immediately, I tear the furnishings off the office chair to convert them into clothes for the boy.
I’m not a size 0, and I’m nowhere close to it. But, I don’t want anyone to know what I am so I like to design clothes so you don’t know what’s going on under there.
Some say the economy means that you have to persuade people to invest in clothes – to buy less things but more expensive things. I disagree – invest in jewelry, or a house, maybe, but not in fashion.
I still like my antique clothes.
The object of man’s worship, whatever it be, will naturally be his standard of perfection. He clothes it with every attribute, belonging, in his view, to a perfect character; and this character he himself endeavors to attain.
I started out as a child actor. Back then, I didn’t have a manager or company, and I couldn’t even dream of having a stylist. My mom made and bought the clothes I would wear. I think that was probably when I first got into fashion.
And yes, I am fond of beauty, be it clothes, jewelry or just life. It has to be the best.
When I talk about rock n’ roll, to me, that goes back to the beginning of the 1950s. Blue suede shoes and sideburns, man. Pink and black coloured clothes. Turn your collar up, comb your hair in ducktails. And the music was cool. It was a whole culture then – a different world.
Bobby Keys
I would like the people that buy my clothes to understand that for me it’s one small piece of art.
There’s a side to me that likes to make clothes for everyday. But I also think of fashion as an escape. It’s like a dream. Even in an economy that isn’t strong and where it’s important to sell clothes, you have to make things that let people dream a little.
The whole thing of clothes is insane. You can spend a dollar on a jacket in a thrift store. And you can spend a thousand dollars on a jacket in a shop. And if you saw those two jackets walking down the street, you probably wouldn’t know which was which.
I’ve had to have some of my dress clothes tailored.
I’ve always loved fashion, but I think that right now, it’s hit its peak – I’m just so obsessed with clothes and paying attention to brands and collections. I guess 16 is kind of the age when you start to develop opinions on all that and knowing what suits your style.
I wear clothes that most people in the Midwest would probably deem inappropriate at my age. And I rock a bikini all summer long. I know that it’s not normal, but I just don’t care. I live once.
I’ve always loved movies, art and clothes.
Models, even male models – how small they’ve gotten! It looks great for the clothes, but it’s not what you want in real life.
I had a stroll like this in the park with somebody, and I saw the ice and I thought, ‘what would happen if I go in there?’ I was really attracted to it. I went in, got rid of my clothes. Thirty seconds I was in. Tremendous good feeling when I came out, and since then, I repeated it every day.
Literal cleanliness and orderliness can release us from abstract cognitive and affective distress – just consider how, during moments where life seems to be spiraling out of control, it can be calming to organize your clothes, clean the living room, get the car washed.
Americans are so stiff when it comes to nudity. For me, I’ve always walked around the house naked. My husband, in real life, is like, ‘Babe, could you just put some clothes on! Keep the mystery alive!’
The actors nowadays, both young men and young ladies, don’t always wear their period clothes as well as they might. They tend to stomp around a bit in them.
I adore the challenge of creating truly modern clothes, where a woman’s personality and sense of self are revealed. I want people to see the dress, but focus on the woman.
Her godmother simply touched her with her wand, and, at the same moment, her clothes were turned into cloth of gold and silver, all decked with jewels.
Charles Perrault
Only the patients have to take off their clothes. I think I’m pretty safe.
Sherry Stringfield
It’s so boring to put on make-up and change clothes five times in a row for one photo shoot.
It's just a matter of finding the styles, finding the f

It’s just a matter of finding the styles, finding the fabrics, shapes, that accentuate your own body. You can’t be altered, but the clothes can.
The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries or the way she combs her hair.
It is only a man’s own fundamental thoughts that have truth and life in them. For it is these that he really and completely understands. To read the thoughts of others is like taking the remains of someone else‘s meal, like putting on the discarded clothes of a stranger.
It’s very passe to think women want to spend a fortune on clothes.
I am a fashion designer. I’m not an environmentalist. When I get up in the morning, number one I’m a mother and a wife, and number two I design clothes. So the main thing I need to do is create, hopefully, exquisitely beautiful, desirable objects for my customer.
I can honestly say this industry hasn’t made me neurotic about my looks, except maybe my weight. I hope my clothes kind of reflect that. They’re meant to make you feel good.
I don’t take my clothes off in my videos.
Gavin DeGraw
The color of somebody’s skin or the way he wears his hair or clothes has nothing to do with anything.
Judge Mills Lane
I prefer comfort rather than trendiness when it comes to clothes.
In my eyes, Twitter is not just about posting pictures of the clothes you wear. It’s about connection with people who reach out to you, too.
The violence and burnings in Lebanon were the work of Syrian soldiers and workers dressed in civilian clothes.
Walid Jumblatt
I want my clothes, my stores, everything I design to have that feeling of being natural and easy. And that takes effort, but you try not to have it show.
I do get pleasure from very inconsequential things, like shopping for clothes.
I am trying to Marie Condo the house starting with my books, although it’s really hard to part with them! But I really want to de-clutter and get rid of stuff I haven’t used for six months, whether it’s clothes, bags, or shoes.
There isn’t anybody that looks like me without clothes on.
I think that it is mad that everything always has to have a label – whether it be the clothes by designers, or whether you are in a relationship or not. Everybody always wants to have that label when it is not always necessary.
I was raised by a lady that was crippled all her life but she did everything for me and she raised me. She washed our clothes, cooked our food, she did everything for us. I don’t think I ever heard her complain a day in her life. She taught me responsibility towards my brother and sisters and the community.
Ernest Gaines
I nursed men back to sanity who were driven to despair. I solicited clothes for the ragged children, for the desperate mothers. I laid out the dead, the martyrs of the strike.
When I go to a premiere I like to borrow lovely clothes and shoes from designers. It’s like the library: if you return them in good condition, you get to borrow more. I’m very lucky.
Death means change our clothes. Clothes become old, then time to come change. So this body become old, and then time come, take young body.
I worked in a boutique after work, my second job, selling women’s clothes. And that was a way of not just making money but meeting women. That was very exciting job. I loved that job.
Elie Tahari
Sex is a bad thing because it rumples the clothes.
Times were changing. Clothes were changing. Morals were changing. We went from romantic loves songs like I used to do to rock ‘n roll. Now that has changed to rap. So, there’s always a new generation with new music.
I went to school on a military base in Germany. I got a lot of my clothes at the army surplus store.
I didn’t need clothes. I was allowed the opportunity to act out moments you don’t get the opportunity to experience in your own life, let alone as a character in a film. I didn’t feel naked.
Marguerite Moreau
I like to mix it up with vintage ’70s stuff and I like to wear a lot of guys’ clothes. As far as night stuff, I have my stylist direct me in the right way. We have a vintage glamour, age-appropriate, pretty thing going.
It’s so easy to be insecure about your looks or if you’re wearing the right clothes, or your hair and makeup. And I think it’s just so important to stay true to who you are.
Clothes are expensive. You have to buy them, and to buy them, you have to believe in them.
I am not interested in shock tactics. I just want to make beautiful clothes.
Oscar de la Renta
