A good model can advance fashion by ten years.
Yves Saint Laurent

'fashion is what one wears oneself, what is unfashionable is what other people wear.' Oscar Wilde, in 'An Ideal Husband'

I used to stick this quote on my door when I was in boarding school, and I've been living with this motto ever since...

 

[lucyloo]

^I don't like that quote. It sounds like something Kimora Lee would say.

hahahhahah, abso f*ckinglutely! (in Kimora's bitchy tone). Kinda disppointing that the great Coco Chanel said that... her other quotes are definitely more to the point and powerful

 

[Ceptuouse]

Although, when Coco would have said...
Une fille si soyez deux choses: chic et fabuleux...thats not AS bad I guess...

My problem is being overweight, not in myself--in my luggage. I'm always bringing...tons of clothes because I never like to wear the same thing twice...My life is a trunk show. Karl Lagerfeld

He may not wear the same thing twice but it seems he wears the same outfit all the time

 

[reese06]

Well he must have a ton little Victorian white shirts that cover up that droopy neck of his and all tight black pants. That's all I ever see him in.

Interesting thread!

Rem Koolhaas designed the Soho Prada epicenter.

Do you always wear Prada?
I’m not a poster boy for them.

Muccia Prada on her brand.

What is it about your brand that attracts people?
[Sighs] Yes, it’s difficult to answer. You have some customers who are customers because they understand when you do something clever. For others, the brand is just a brand. It’s just the name—who cares what you do. The two exist together. And when you do things now, you have to do things that people like instantly, so it connects. So you can have a more sophisticated customer and some other who gets the superficial impression. Personally, I’m much more interested in doing things that people all over the world are interested in, instead of only a few sophisticated things for a small group.

it's part of an interview- here's the quote in context

"'I have a kind of complex of this work being superficial and dumb,' she said. 'It's my personal drama. Not the world's. Everyone who is smart says they hate fashion, that it's such a waste of time. I have asked many super-serious people, "Then why is fashion so popular?" Nobody can answer that question. But somebody must be interested, because when I go to the stores the people are there. Thousands of them. So I have grown tired of apologising for being in this profession.' She went on: 'I know that clothes are not important, that I am not changing society. I am just doing my work as well as I can. And right now I want this collection to succeed. So today I am having a crisis. And why? Because I can't match a dress with a pair of shoes. I am embarrassed to say that. But in the end I cannot forget what I do. I make clothes. It's silly. But it's my job.' "
