men two world
Just imagine dressing the two handsomest men in the world, and then getting this!
beautiful legs looks
Even the most beautiful legs - Marlene Dietrich's, for instance - look better when the kneecap is covered.
years ideas costumes
Couture has copied my things for years, in addition to countless other costume designers, claiming theirs were the original ideas. It's all part of the business, unfortunately.
fashion past west
There are three fashion periods: the past, the present and Mae West.
shoes lingerie weakness
As women, we all have certain weaknesses. I know one who can't resist pretty shoes but has nothing suitable to wear with them. Others adore frilly lingerie but never have any money to buy outer clothing.
stars size matter
There's no such thing as a standard size movie star, or woman for that matter.
stars caring female
With women, there's a basic female instinct of caring deeply about the way they look; women stars have a narcissist complex.
jobs thinking clothes
The subjective actress thinks of clothes only as they apply to her; the objective actress thinks of them only as they affect others, as a tool for the job.
stars animal lassie
I have yet to see one completely unspoiled star, except for the animals-like Lassie.
clothes competition life-is
Life is competitive; clothes gird us for the competition.
believe actors actresses
We ask the public to believe that every time they see an actress or actor that they are a different person.
skeletons guarantees taste
Many women have asked me if it is possible to have a well-built wardrobe on a limited budget. 'Money,' I tell them, 'is no guarantee of taste, and an overstuffed wardrobe is often as bare as a skeleton when it comes to wearable apparel.'
believe magic doe
What a costume designer does is a cross between magic and camouflage. We create the illusion of changing the actors into what they are not. We ask the public to believe that every time they see a performer on the screen he's become a different person.
jobs trying want
