absolutely amount art bad consider covering energy fashion form looking people putting
I absolutely consider fashion a form of art. Of course, there is some fashion that is not art at all - it's utilitarian, made for the purpose of covering up. And there are a lot of people out there who put a lot of effort into looking awful. But there are also people putting the same amount of energy into making bad art.
country depressed fashion liberation money sad women
Fashion really is women's liberation in a lot of ways. Look at how many women in this country are depressed about how they look and how they think they have to look! It's really sad. And it's not about money.
fashion nice people
When you go to a nice restaurant, you want to be relaxed and have a drink and everything, you want to look at people who look well. You don't want to look at some slob with an open shirt and a hairy chest. At least I don't.
fashion thinking ifs
I think fashion is just part of my life and if it hadn't of been fashion then it would have been something else.
fashionista small-parts
I don't count myself as a fashionista because I do a lot of other things. That's just a small part of my life.
fashion thinking unhappy
I always feel that if you're gonna be uncomfortable and unhappy in something, just because you think it's in or it's chic, I would advise you to be happy rather than well-dressed. It's better to be happy.
fashion fun jail
If you put something together and it doesn't look so good, the fashion police are not going to come and take you away. And if they do, you might have some fun in jail.
fashion style
Fashion you can BUY, but style you POSSESS.
fashion bores
More is more and less is a bore.
inspiring fashion thinking
When you don't dress like everybody else, you don't have to think like everybody else.
fashion attitude self
Fashion you can buy, but style you possess. The key to style is learning who you are, which takes years. There’s no how-to road map to style. It’s about self-expression and, above all, attitude.
people
I always tell people I'm very large in Uzbekistan.
ladies
Fashion has this youth mania. But 70-year-old ladies don't have 18-year-old bodies, and 18-year-olds don't have a 70-year-old's dollars.
art properly
Clothes are not frippery. Properly done, they can be an art form.
