Quotations
Fashion
Art produces ugly things which frequently become more beautiful with time. Fashion, on the other hand, produces beautiful things which always become ugly with time.

-Karl Lagerfeld
There's nothing interesting about looking perfect—you lose the point. You want what you're wearing to say something about you, about who you are.

Create your own style… let it be unique for yourself and yet identifiable for others.

One should never confuse fashionable with beautiful.
