Quotations
Fashion

-L. M. Montgomery
"Anne of Green Gables"
Women want to wear what they do because of what goes on in their heads. Their size and shape have practically nothing to do with it.

-Oscar Wilde
The secret to modeling is not being perfect. What one needs is a face that people can identify in a second. You have to be given what’s needed by nature, and what’s needed is to bring something new.
-Karl Lagerfeld
One should never confuse fashionable with beautiful.
