To greet the fashion month that is coming we have collected some of the best fashion quotes!

These pearls of wisdom go deep into the topic of fashion, revealing its numerous layers. They show the meaning and power behind what some people may call frivolous. Read our selection of best fashion quotes by amazing people like Diana Vreeland and enjoy discovering the depths of what and why we wear.

“Fashion is part of the daily air and it changes all the time, with all the events. You can even see the approaching of a revolution in clothes. You can see and feel everything in clothes.” —Diana Vreeland

“Don’t be into trends. Don’t make fashion own you, but you decide what you are, what you want to express by the way you dress and the way to live.” —Gianni Versace

“What you wear is how you present yourself to the world, especially today, when human contacts are so quick. Fashion is instant language.” —Miuccia Prada

“Fashion is the armor to survive the reality of everyday life.” —Bill Cunningham

“Fashion is very important. It is life-enhancing and, like everything that gives pleasure, it is worth doing well.” —Vivienne Westwood

“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.” —Iris Apfel

“Style is the only thing you can’t buy. It’s not in a shopping bag, a label, or a price tag. It’s something reflected from our soul to the outside world—an emotion.”—Alber Elbaz

“Fashion should be a form of escapism and not a form of imprisonment.” – Alexander McQueen

“Over the years I have learned that what is important in a dress is the woman who’s wearing it.” —Yves Saint Laurent

“A little bad taste is like a nice splash of paprika. We all need a splash of bad taste—it’s hearty, it’s healthy, it’s physical. I think we could use more of it. No taste is what I’m against.” —Diana Vreeland

“The best things in life are free. The second best are very expensive.” —Coco Chanel

“Dress shabbily and they remember the dress; dress impeccably and they notice the woman.” —Coco Chanel

“Shoes transform your body language and attitude. They lift you physically and emotionally.” —Christian Louboutin

“I have always believed that fashion was not only to make women more beautiful, but also to reassure them, give them confidence.” – Yves Saint Laurent

“Style is a way to say who you are without having to speak.” – Rachel Zoe

“In difficult times, fashion is always outrageous.” – Elsa Schiaparelli

“Real style is never right or wrong. It’s a matter of being yourself on purpose.” – G. Bruce Boyer

“Give a girl the right shoes, and she can conquer the world.” – Marilyn Monroe

“Style is knowing who you are, what you want to say and not giving a damn.” – Orson Welles

“A woman is never sexier than when she is comfortable in her clothes.” – Vera Wang
