The entire spring and summer line from Marc Jacobs was stolen on the way to the fashion show in Paris. The thief is considered armed and fabulous.
JAY LENO, The Tonight Show, Nov. 17, 2011
Ladies of Fashion starve their happiness to feed their vanity.
CHARLES CALEB COLTON, Lacon
Fashion is all about who you are. It's about expressing your individuality and showing the world your personality. Fashion is not about looking like everyone else. So stand out!
In dress, seek the middle between foppery and shabbiness.
Fashion is fortunately no law but to its devotees.
HORACE WALPOLE, letter to the Earl of Strafford, Jun. 24, 1783
Clothes and manners do not make the man; but, when he is made, they greatly improve his appearance.
HENRY WARD BEECHER, Proverbs from Plymouth Pulpit
There are certain things that even fashion cannot justify.
Fashion ... is most capricious in her favours, often running from those that pursue her, and coming round to those that stand still. It were mad to follow her, and rash to oppose her, but neither rash nor mad to despise her.
CHARLES CALEB COLTON, Lacon
Fashion is a poor vocation. Its creed, that idleness is a privilege and work a disgrace, is among the deadliest errors. Without depth of thought, or earnestness of feeling, or strength of purpose, living an unreal life, sacrificing substance to show, substituting the fictitious for the natural, mistaking a crowd for society, finding its chief pleasure in ridicule, and exhausting its ingenuity in expedients for killing time, fashion is among the last influences under which a human being, who respects himself, or who comprehends the great end of life, would desire to be placed.
WILLIAM E. CHANNING, Thoughts
We smile at the women who are eagerly following the fashions in dress whilst we are as eagerly following the fashions in thought.
AUSTIN O'MALLEY, Keystones of Thought
Many-tinted are the eyes of fashion.
Fashion is the veriest goddess of semblance and of shade; to be happy is of far less consequence to her worshippers than to appear so.
CHARLES CALEB COLTON, Lacon
I definitely think that fashion is a form of art and love that people can express themselves through what they wear.
PARIS HILTON, OMG, Music!, Jul. 7, 2010
What is called fashion is the tradition of the moment. All tradition carries with it a certain necessity for people to put themselves on a level with it.
