some of my favourite fashion quotes

- '..but then you look at it and it’s like there’s not that charm to it. if you’re just wrapping yourself in the security of a bunch of designer names, it comes off in the photograph. it lacks the uniqueness as opposed to someone who has the balls – or not balls.’ – Scott Schuman

'whatever you do, don’t be safe because fashion is just full of the same fucking shit. be McQueen or Christopher Kane' – Jane Morley (my first fashion design teacher)

'i think a lot of people say blogs have democratised fashion, but i don’t know if that’s necessarily true. i think it’s created a lot more voices, but also a lot more noise. a lot of people say the ground work has already been set as to who the important bloggers are, but it’s kind of like music, you know? one guy with a guitar can mean more to people than an entire..' - Scott Schuman

what’s exciting you most about the fashion industry right now? 'how there are no trends or people who dictate fashion, everyone finds what they love and makes it important to them.' - unknown

'..i think that’s why we’re seeing a lot of young designers emerging from rural and regional Queensland, because when you grow up without being submerged in fashion, you want it even more. you could say that those who grow up in those traditional fashion centres like Sydney or Melbourne take fashion for granted.' – Michael Finch

'i always ran my company like a company. i wanted people to recognise my work and i wanted to sell clothes. its such a silly and obvious thing, but so many designers with lots of press don’t sell clothes. my goal has always been to make exceptionally beautiful clothes that woman want to own.' – Jason Wu

'as joseph Altuzarra explains it, ‘its how the editors wear their coats.’' (jackets worn over shoulders like capes - Elin Kling

'i’m not afraid of walking down the street in something that people think is crazy. what i can’t stand is looking like everybody else.' - Mary-Kate Olsen
design should be something that has function, fits into a person’s ordinary everyday life, but makes her feel a bit extraordinary.

'you’re considered superficial and silly if you’re interestd in fashion, but i think you can be substantial and still be interested in frivolity.' – Sofia Coppola

'women often don’t want to admit that they like fashion. and yet fashion enthrals everyone, from the taxi driver to the mega-intellectual. i have often asked myself why this is. i don’t know the answer.' - Miuccia Prada
