Il pubblico non deve capire la moda e deve essere indignato. In ciò consiste il trionfo della moda. In questo senso la moda è un fenomeno allo stesso tempo d'élites e di massa. Il suo essere d'élites consiste nel non essere compresa, ma il suo senso è nella sua opposizione alla folla.
Jurij Lotman
La moda non è altro che una delle forme di vita con le quali la tendenza all'eguaglianza sociale e quella alla differenziazione individuale e alla variazione si compongono in un fare unitario.
Georg Simmel
I don't like to surround myself with 'yes' people. I am a great believer in the fact that creativity comes from a conflict of ideas.
Alexander McQueen
I use things that people want to hide in their heads. War, religion, sex: things we all think about but don't bring to the forefront. But I do and I force them to watch it.
Alexander McQueen
I've survived quite a few generations. That's because I never lost my enthusiasm. I wake up every morning like on Christmas Day, waiting for the gifts.
Karl Lagerfeld
My work is about pushing the boundaries of creation.
John Galliano
I like to think that I brought a certain hedonism back to fashion.
Tom Ford
I want to re-introduce fragility and emotion to fashion, my way.
Alber Elbaz
Good fashion for me is like rock 'n' roll - there's always a little rebellion in it.
Ann Demeulemeester
Beauty is an ambiguous mix between life and death.
Ennio Capasa
I'm inspired by the inner complexity of a woman. About the struggle she has with ambiguous feelings. About the attraction and rejection of those feelings, looking for harmony between them.
Véronique Branquinho
Clothing should not make a person but enhance one.
Richard Bengtsson&Edward Pavlick
I've tried to find a new elegance. It's not easy because people want to be shocked. They want explosive fashion. But explosions don't last, they disappear immediately and leave nothing but ashes.
Giorgio Armani
My philosophy is evolution, not revolution.

If a shoe is beautiful and it doesn't fit the foot, it's not a quality shoe. It must fit the foot and the eye.
Beyh Levine
The only consistency in fashion is change.
Halston
You have a much better life if you wear impressive clothes.
Vivienne Westwood
Le donne sciocche seguono la moda, le pretenziose l'esagerano; ma le donne di buon gusto vengono a patti con essa.
Émilie du Châtelet
Non so se Carla Bruni sia la più disinvolta delle premières dames o la più importante delle veline.
