Here Fashion is a despot, and no one dreams of evading its dictates. ↗

I married somebody who likes the way I look. If I changed my hair every year, and I reinvented myself in time-honored pop fashion, I think understandably the person I'm married to would grow slightly sick of me. ↗

Kincaid rounded the far corner. He was dressed in his customary black clothing again, fatigue pants, and a hunting jacket over body armor, and he had enough guns strapped to his body to outfit a terrorist cell, or a Texan nuclear family. ↗

Whenever I see people with their collars up, I'm tempted to point it out to them like you would for someone who has a food stain on their shirt or food in their teeth, as if to say, 'Your fashion sense is so offensive I'm assuming it's some sort of accident you'll want to fix. ↗

Fashion sighs after trends. I want timeless elegance. Fashion has no time. I do. I say: Hello Lady, how can I help you? Fashion has no time to even ask such a question, because it is constantly concerned with finding out: What will come next? It is more about helping women to suffer less, to attain more freedom and independence. ↗

We need houses as we need clothes, architecture stimulates fashion. It’s like hunger and thirst — you need them both. ↗

Victorian rigidities were such that ladies were not even allowed to blow out candles in mixed company, as that required them to pucker their lips suggestively. They could not say that they were going "to bed"--that planted too stimulating an image--but merely that they were "retiring." It became effectively impossible to discuss clothing in even a clinical sense without resort to euphemisms. Trousers became "nether integuments" or simply "inexpressibles" and underwear was "linen." Women could refer among themselves to petticoats or, in hushed tones, stockings, but could mention almost nothing else that brushed bare flesh. ↗

I love new clothes. If everyone could just wear new clothes everyday, I reckon depression wouldn’t exist anymore. ↗

My motto for fashion: If you can’t afford to make an elegant statement, make a ridiculous one. ↗
