Naast hun prachtige collecties, staan sommige designers ook bekend om de wijze woorden die ze er eens in de zoveel tijd uitgooien. Wij verzamelden de tien meest inspirerende quotes van fashion's finest uit het heden en verleden!

Ontwerpers die al decennia meedraaien in de mode-industrie, weten natuurlijk het nodige af van stijl, elegantie en proporties. Sommigen delen hun ideeën hierover graag met ons en wij delen ze weer met jullie!

Donatella Versace

“Fashion is all about happiness. It’s fun. It’s important. But it’s not medicine.”

Oleg Cassini

“Fashion anticipates, and elegance is a state of mind… a mirror of the time in which we live, a translation of the future, and should never be static.”

Ralph Lauren

“I don’t design clothes, I design dreams.”

Elsa Schiaparelli

“Women dress alike all over the world: they dress to be annoying to other women.”

Donna Karan

“Today, fashion is really about sensuality - how a woman feels on the inside. In the ‘80s women used suits with exaggerated shoulders and waists to make a strong impression. Women are now more comfortable with themselves and their bodies - they no longer feel the need to hide behind their clothes.”

Yves Saint Laurent

“Fashions fade, style is eternal.”

Viktor & Rolf

“For us, fashion is an antidote to reality.”

Hubert de Givenchy

“The dress must follow the body of a woman, not the body following the shape of the dress.”

Giorgio Armani

“The only difference between style and fashion is quality.”

Coco Chanel (We konden het simpelweg niet bij één quote houden...)

“In order to be irreplaceable one must be different.”

“Fashion is architecture. It is a matter of proportions.”

“A girl should be two things: classy and fabulous.”

“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.”

“Luxury must be comfortable, otherwise it is not luxury.”
