Fashion

We worship not the Graces, nor the Parcae, but Fashion. She spins and weaves and cuts with full authority. The head monkey at Paris puts on a traveler's cap, and all the monkeys in America do the same.
- Thoreau, Henry David
Fashion Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Fashion

1.
I never cared for fashion much, amusing little seams and witty little pleats: it was the girls I liked.
Bailey, David

2.
What a deformed thief this fashion is.
William Shakespeare

3.
I cannot and will not cut my conscience to fit this year's fashions.
Lillian Hellman

4.
Fashion is like the ashes left behind by the uniquely shaped flames of the fire, the trace alone revealing that a fire actually took place.
Man, Paul De

5.
Fashion for the most part is nothing but the ostentation of riches.
Locke, John

6.
My weakness is wearing too much leopard print.
Collins, Jackie

7.
Fashion is architecture: it is a matter of proportions.
Chanel, Coco

8.
The great attraction of fashion is that it diverted attention from the insoluble problems of beauty and provided an easy way -- which money could buy... to a simply stated, easily reproduced ideal of beauty, however temporary that ideal.
Zeldin, Theodore

9.
People ask how can a Jewish kid from the Bronx do preppy clothes? Does it have to do with class and money? It has to do with dreams.
Lauren, Ralph

10.
I once had a sparrow alight upon my shoulder for a moment, while I was hoeing in a village garden, and I felt that I was more distinguished by that circumstance that I should have been by any epaulet I could have worn.
Henry David Thoreau

11.
Fashions are born and they die too quickly for anyone to learn to love them.
Ballard, Bettina

12.
I base my fashion taste on what doesn't itch.
Gilda Radner

You must be in fashion is the utterance of weak headed mortals.

18.
The pursuit of Fashion is the attempt of the middle class to co-opt tragedy. In adopting the clothing, speech, and personal habits of those in straitened, dangerous, or pitiful circumstances, the middle class seeks to have what it feels to be the exigent and nonequivocal experiences had by those it emulates.
Mamet, David

19.
You don't learn style from watching people on a runway. Fashion happens every morning when you wake up.
Harlow, Shalom

20.
No doubt the artist is the child of his time; but woe to him if he is also its disciple, or even its favorite.
Schiller, Johann Friedrich Von

21.
Fashion is a tyrant from which there is no deliverance; all must conform to its whimsical.
Proverb, French

22.
Fashion is more powerful than any tyrant.
Proverb, Latin

23.
We worship not the Graces, nor the Parcae, but Fashion. She spins and weaves and cuts with full authority. The head monkey at Paris puts on a traveler's cap, and all the monkeys in America do the same.
Thoreau, Henry David

24.
Only the minute and the future are interesting in fashion -- it exists to be destroyed. If everybody did everything with respect, you'd go nowhere.
Lagerfeld, Karl

25.
Fashion wears out more clothes than the man.
Shakespeare, William

26.
Fashion is born by small facts, trends, or even politics, never by trying to make little pleats and furbelows, by trinkets, by clothes easy to copy, or by the shortening or lengthening of a skirt.
Schiaparelli, Elsa

27.
Woman's first duty in life is to her dressmaker. What the second duty is no one has yet discovered.
Wilde, Oscar

28.
He who goes against the fashion is himself its slave.
Smith, Logan Pearsall

29.
Even truth needs to be clad in new garments if it is to appeal to a new age.
Lichtenberg, Georg C.

30.
Women's fashion is a euphemism for fashion created by men for women.
Dworkin, Andrea

31.
Fashion is the science of appearance, and it inspires one with the desire to seem rather than to be.
Fielding, Henry

32.
Fashion exists for women with no taste, etiquette for people with no breeding.
Maria, Queen

33.
Eat to please thyself, but dress to please others.
Franklin, Benjamin

34.
It pains me physically to see a woman victimized, rendered pathetic, by fashion.
Saint-Laurent, Yves

There's never a new fashion but it's old.
Geoffrey Chaucer

36.
Fashionabilty is a kind of elevated vulgarity.
Darley, G.

37.
He never chooses an opinion, he just wears whatever happens to be in style.
Tolstoy, Count Leo

38.
Fashion, by which what is really fantastic becomes for a moment the universal.
Wilde, Oscar

39.
You couldn't tell if she was dressed for an opera or an operation.
Cobb, Irvin S.

40.
All fashions are charming, or rather relatively charming, each one being a new striving, more or less well conceived, after beauty, an approximate statement of an ideal, the desire for which constantly teases the unsatisfied human mind.
Baudelaire, Charles

41.
Fashion is made to become unfashionable.
Chanel, Coco

42.
When in doubt, wear red.
Blass, Bill

43.
You know, one had as good be out of the world, as out of the fashion.
Cibber, Colley

44.
I base most of my fashion taste on what doesn't itch.
Radner, Gilda

45.
If one considers how much reason every person has for anxiety and timid self-concealment, and how three-quarters of his energy and goodwill can be paralyzed and made unfruitful by it, one has to be very grateful to fashion, insofar as it sets that three-quarters free and communicates self-confidence and mutual cheerful agreeableness to those who know they are subject to its law.
Nietzsche, Friedrich

46.
Fashion is the most intense expression of the phenomenon of neomania, which has grown ever since the birth of capitalism. Neomania assumes that purchasing the new is the same as acquiring value. If the purchase of a new garment coincides with the wearing out of an old one, then obviously there is no fashion. If a garment is worn beyond the moment of its natural replacement, there is pauperization. Fashion flourishes on surplus, when someone buys more than he or she needs.
Bayley, Stephen

47.
In olden days a glimpse of stocking was looked on as something shocking but now, God knows, anything goes.
Porter, Cole

48.
I who have been involved with all styles of painting can assure you that the only things that fluctuate are the waves of fashion which carry the snobs and speculators; the number of true connoisseurs remains more or less the same.
Picasso, Pablo

49.
Every generation laughs at the old fashions, but follows religiously the new.
Henry David Thoreau

50.
The average American can get into the kingdom of heaven much more easily than he can get into the Boulevard St. Germain.
W. Somerset Maugham
