Anyone can give advice on fashion. However, for some matters, it's best to leave opinion to the experts. After all, they're the ones who managed to make a living out of this zany industry we call fashion, managing to endure day in and day out the trials and tribulations of one of the craziest businesses in the world. But it's those experts who know fashion the best. So when it comes to tips and words of wisdom, it's pretty much best to just listen to them.
No list of quotes on fashion would be complete without the reigning queen of it all, Coco Chanel. Practically the most powerful woman to ever exist in couture, Chanel understood what it meant to work hard, and also understand what it was that made a woman beautiful. She also always had something to say about style, like this famous and often-repeated quote: "A style does not go out of style as long as it adapts itself to its period. When there is an incompatibility between the style and a certain state of mind, it is never the style that triumphs."
One of fashion's heavyweights, Christian Dior is always creating a collection that has jaws dropping regardless the year or season. Famous quote: "Zest is the secret of all beauty. There is no beauty that is attractive without zest."
Part model, part musician, part actress, Grace Jones was one of the seminal figures of the 1970s downtown New York scene. Her influence in the modeling world is still felt, and she was one of the few performers who did a truly decadent job of dressing herself: "Models are there to look like mannequins, not like real people. Art and illusion are supposed to be fantasy."
You can't really talk about fashion without talking about Madonna. Though she might be all grown up now, her 1980s attire launched a thousand teenage girls to run around the mall and copy her style. On making it: "I think the ultimate challenge is to have some kind of style and grace, even though you haven't got money, or standing in society, or formal education. I had a very middle, lower-middle class sort of upbringing, but I identify with people who've had, at some point in their lives to struggle to survive. It adds another color to your character."
More than just the host of "Project Runway," Tim Gunn is a fashion icon in his own right, from his time teaching at Parsons and The New School to his impeccable taste for smart suits. Always well-dressed and quotable, his insight on fashion is unparalleled: "The larger-than-size-4 market is robust and is in need of good designers."
One of the original supermodels, Naomi Campell is a woman not known to hold back on what she's thinking: "This year, we have gone back all the way that we had advanced. I don't see any black woman, or of any other race, in big advertising campaigns."
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.
