A runway is spectacle. It’s only fashion when a woman puts it on.
A fashion victim is dressed in designer clothes from top to bottom.
There will never be a chanel collection without black
We chat about clothes and if we're going on the red carpet we definitely talk about what we are going to wear.
I spent my life making fashion an art form.
My favourite designers are Alexander McQueen, YSL, Eskandar, Donna Karan and Lanvin.
I've had my best times when trailing a Mainbocher evening gown across a sawdust floor. I've always loved high style in low company.
The last time a straight man worked in the fashion industry, we got a fanny pack.
With expensive fashion, the inside should be as perfect as the outside.
I like fashion, whether or not it's overpriced, because it creates a sense of the sublime with relatively few means.
I love bows, … And I feel some couture pots coming on.
With Dior Haute Couture, the dream is already there.
I love Dolce & Gabbana. I love Versace. I love the crazy, more eccentric stuff.
I've worn dresses from all different price ranges, and the thing that couture dresses have in common is that the fit is amazing.
That's the best gowne that goes up and downe the house.
All my gowns have trains on them. I make a train that goes on forever. I love long trains and then I stand there and twirl around and wrap myself up in it.
I grew up in Tennessee. We didn't know what Louis Vuitton was. I had to order all my prom outfits out of catalogs.
For me, couture is the kingdom of imagination, creativity and experimentation, and this is how I approach it. I do, however, remain pragmatic and realistic.
The ultimate art form of fashion is couture. I completely geek out when it comes to couture. It shows fashion as it used to be. I don't know how many people can actually afford the clothes, but in a way, that's beside the point.
I'd say I play on old world couture as opposed to modern day bridal; there's something very timeless and appealing in that.
We are devastated to learn of the death of Alexander McQueen, one of the greatest talents of his generation. He brought a uniquely British sense of daring and aesthetic fearlessness to the global stage of fashion. In such a short career, Alexander McQueen's influence was astonishing - from street style, to music culture and the world's museums. His passing marks an insurmountable loss.
I didn't know who Jimmy Choo was. I think Vanessa Williams was also a very big part of that, teaching me about the designers. I had no choice but to learn, and I'm glad I did.
I mean you might have wanted Carrie Bradshaw, but to me she's like toddlers and tiaras gone berserk!
Chanel is composed of only a few elements, white camellias, quilted bags and Austrian doorman's jackets, pearls, chains, shoes with black toes. I use these elements like notes to play with.
high fashion has little to do with what women wear and a lot to do with what retailers mark down later.
