Doting on Quotes

"Ruffletastic" by shoobydoo

I admit it - I am a sucker for quotes. There's something so admirable in their ability to encapsulate an idea in a easy sentence or two. They may dip into cliche, but cliche is powerful because it is often true - and I personally love them as well. Here are a few of my favorite in terms of fashion and style:

“Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening.”
- Coco Chanel

“We are shaped and fashioned by what we love.”
- Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

“Fashion is as profound and critical a part of the social life of man as sex, and is made up of the same ambivalent mixture of irresistible urges and inevitable taboos.”
- Rene Konig

“"Style" is an expression of individualism mixed with charisma. Fashion is something that comes after style.”
- John Fairchild quotes

“Above all, remember that the most important thing you can take anywhere is not a Gucci bag or French-cut jeans; it's an open mind”
- Gail Rubin Bereny quotes

“To live content with small means; to seek elegance rather than luxury, and refinement rather than fashion; to be worthy, not respectable, and wealthy, not, rich; to listen to stars and birds, babes and sages, with open heart; to study hard; to think quietly, act frankly, talk gently, await occasions, hurry never; in a word, to let the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious, grow up through the common - this is my symphony."
- William Ellery Channing quotes
