― Anne Hollander

“Style is not neutral; it gives moral directions.”
― Martin Amis

“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

“Our clothes are too much a part of us for most of us ever to be entirely indifferent to their condition: it is as though the fabric were indeed a natural extension of the body, or even of the soul.”
― Quentin Crisp
