Style: it's what everyone wants, and a decent amount of lucky people actually have. But who is the best teacher for understanding the delicate balance of fashion and style? An expert, of course. Instead of taking it from your best friend or a magazine article, why not pay attention to what some of the experts have to say about style? After all, those experts can talk the talk and walk the walk and they more than anyone else understand what it's like to have everyone looking at you.
At the epicenter of a movement of clever artists, models, and filmmakers, Andy Warhol understood what it meant to create fashion and style. Never one to go underquoted, his words of wisdom continue to enhance the lives of aspiring fashionistas. One memorable quotation: "I love Los Angeles. I love Hollywood. They're beautiful. Everybody's plastic, but I love plastic. I want to be plastic."
For designer Issac Mizrahi, fashion just wasn't enough--he had to have a television show, too. After years in the business, he's got more than enough insight and zany quotes to fill several books, let alone a single article. Here's one: "I don't like people to feel completely described by the clothes they wear of mine. I want them to feel that they're describing themselves."
Perhaps the biggest name in American fashion, Anna Wintour is important enough as the editor of Vogue that she even had a movie made about her, called "The Devil Wears Prada." While not the devil itself, she does have a particularly strong wit for saying what she thinks that should serve as an inspiration for many generations to come: "I read in the New York Times this week that I'm an ice queen, I'm the sun king, I'm an alien fleeing from District 9 and I'm a dominatrix. So I reckon that makes me a lukewarm royalty with a whip from outer space. Whattaya think?"
Proving that one's not born a woman but rather, becomes one, RuPaul has been setting the bar for her own unique brand of fashion since the 1990s. Still kicking, her incredibly witty insight on the world at large is worth repeating, and her search for the next best drag queen netted tons of viewers recently. One notable quote of hers: "With hair, heels, and attitude, honey, I am through the roof."
Even though he's currently rocking more grey hairs than ever before, incredible fashion designer Jean-Paul Gaultier is still called the enfant terrible of the fashion world. His rebellious attitude to fashion definitely has produced some gems over the years: "It's always the badly dressed people who are the most interesting."
Fashion designer Jeremy Scott is known for his hilarious and fabulous fashion shows in Paris. Since relocating to Los Angeles, he's managed to grab the attention of major States-side celebrities. Famous quote: "I've never met someone that I thought, oh my god what the --- is she doing with my clothes? It's always cute kids and that's the most flattering. It's people I would like to know or would like to talk to, people who have similar interests too. That's the whole thing about fashion: it's not only about the clothes but also about the people."
One of the first supermodels, Cindy Crawford definitely saw the world of modeling change in the middle of one of the most prolific times for fashion in the States. Her candid interviews have led to helpful words of wisdom, like this one: " Even I don't wake up looking like Cindy Crawford. - 29772
