shut up, i love that shirt on you.

Like all great travellers, I have seen more than I remember, and remember more than I have seen.

” ~Benjamin Disraeli

I travel a lot; I hate having my life disrupted by routine.

”~Caskie Stinnett

I drink champagne when I'm happy and when I'm sad. Sometimes I drink it when I'm alone. When I have company I consider it obligatory. I trifle with it if I'm not hungry and drink it when I am. Otherwise I never touch it - unless I'm thirsty.

Then summer fades and passes and October comes. We'll smell smoke then, and feel an unexpected sharpness, a thrill of nervousness, swift elation, a sense of sadness and departure."

You're either born with a sense of style or you aren't. Either you care or you don't.

Summer is the time when one sheds one's tensions with one's clothes, and the right kind of day is jeweled balm for the battered spirit. A few of those days and you can become drunk with the belief that all's right with the world.

Selfishness is not living as one wishes to live, it is asking others to live as one wishes to live.

The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes "Awww!”

What can I say? Sometimes a girl needs a half.

My fault, my failure, is not in the passions I have, but in my lack of control of them.

...prohibition never stood a chance against exhibition. It's human nature to be free, and no matter how long you try to be good, you can't keep a bad girl down.

Um, he's sick. My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with the girl who saw Ferris pass out at 31 Flavors last night. I guess it's pretty serious.

When life gets this confusing, sometimes there's only one thing to do: attend a fabulous party.

The summer night is like a perfection of thought.

Fashion is like the id. It makes you desire things you shouldn't.

There was madness in any direction, at any hour. You could strike sparks anywhere. There was a fantastic universal sense that whatever we were doing was right, that we were winning.

Haute couture isn't as much about having money as it is about having the conviction that taste actually matters.

I hate these platforms that are all over the place today; they are all about grabbing attention. They are suburban! I never do a platform. Well, I did, in the 1970s, but that was a bad experience.

The goal I seek is to have people refine their style through my clothing without having them become victims of fashion.

It's about making a real, genuine impact on the culture, and that's either your destiny or it isn't.

When in doubt, wear red.

This... 'stuff'? Oh... ok. I see, you think this has nothing to do with you. You go to your closet and you select out, oh I don't know, that lumpy blue sweater, for instance, because you're trying to tell the world that you take yourself too seriously to care about what you put on your back. But what you don't know is that that sweater is not just blue, it's not turquoise, it's not lapis, it's actually cerulean. You're also blithely unaware of the fact that in 2002, Oscar De La Renta did a collection of cerulean gowns. And then I think it was Yves St Laurent, wasn't it, who showed cerulean military jackets? I think we need a jacket here. And then cerulean quickly showed up in the collections of 8 different designers. Then it filtered down through the department stores and then trickled on down into some tragic casual corner where you, no doubt, fished it out of some clearance bin. However, that blue represents millions of dollars and countless jobs and so it's sort of comical how you think that you've made a choice that exempts you from the fashion industry when, in fact, you're wearing the sweater that was selected for you by the people in this room. From a pile of stuff.

Money doesn't buy you happiness. But it buys you a big enough yacht to sail right up to it."

The best thing about fashion is when women dress for themselves in the mirror, not for a man or to make another woman mad.

Carelessness in dressing is moral suicide.
