“I find my dress sense tends to be a bit of a mixture between high fashion and unique vintage pieces with a little bit of street trends. For example, I might find a really nice, suede dinner jacket that I'd wear with a basic plain white shirt and some chinos and a pair of Nike trainers.” LittlesMightBitsWhitePiecesNiceStreetsFashionExampleLittle BitUniqueDressesDinnerShirtsPairsTrendsMixturesJacketsReally NiceTrainersVintageNikeHigh FashionWhite Shirts Author:Tinie Tempah

“Sabi is the color of haikai. It is different from tranquility. For example, if an old man dresses up in armor and helmet and goes to the battlefield, or in colorful brocade kimono, attending (his lord) at a banquet, [sabi] is like this old figure.” IfsMenDifferentLordFiguresExampleColorDressesOld ManTranquilityBattlefieldsArmorColorfulAttendingHelmetBanquetsKimonos Author:Matsuo Basho
“You men out there probably think you already know how to dress for success.

“Cliche refers to words, commonplace to ideas. Cliche describes the form or the letter, commonplace the substance or spirit. To confuse them is to confuse the thought with the expression of the thought. The cliche is immediately perceivable; the commonplace very often escapes notice if decked out in original dress. There are few examples, in any literature, of new ideas expressed in original form. The most critical mind must often be content with one or the other of these pleasures, only too happy when it is not deprived of both at once, which is not too rarely the case.” IfsMindIdeasFormSpiritLiteraturePleasureCasesExampleExpressionLettersOriginalsDressesCriticalSubstanceNew IdeasDeprivedClicheCommonplaceOften Is Author:Remy de Gourmont

“I think about the kinds of gardens that Queen Elizabeth put up. She made gardens in the shape of an "E," for Elizabeth, just one more way in which she used symbolism to solidify her reign: appearing as the Virgin Queen, for example, or wearing a dress embroidered with eyes and ears to indicate that she knew all that was going on in her castle; she had spies.” ThinkingWayKindMadeEyeUsedExampleShapesGardenEarsDressesQueensJust OneReignVirginsSpyCastlesAppearingSymbolismQueen ElizabethWearing A Dress Author:Martha Ronk
“In Brazil, even inside the same city, people from different parts dress differently. Sao Paulo, for example, is more connected to global trends and urban movements. Rio de Janeiro is more influenced by the beach, and has a sort of Cali vibe with the way people dress. Porto Alegre down in the south has a hard winter, so people have to dress to face the cold days.” PeopleWayDifferentHardFacesCitiesExampleMovementColdDressesSouthWinterConnectedBeachTrendsUrbanBrazilRioCold DaysRio De JaneiroPortoSao Paulo Author:Ricardo Nunes
“And what an example of the power of dress young Oliver Twist was! Wrapped in the blanket which had hitherto formed his only covering, he might have been the child of a nobleman or a beggar;—it would have been hard for the haughtiest stranger to have fixed his station in society. But now he was enveloped in the old calico robes, that had grown yellow in the same service; he was badged and ticketed, and fell into his place at once—a parish child—the orphan of a workhouse—the humble, half-starved drudge—to be cuffed and buffeted through the world, despised by all, and pitied by none.” WorldChildrenHas BeensHardMightYoungHalfExampleDressesHumbleStrangerFixedStationsYellowMight Have BeenTwistsBlanketCoveringBeggarDespisedOrphanRobesParishNoblemenWorkhousesOliver Twist Author:Charles Dickens
“I am my little people's star and slave. When I go out into the barrios, I get dressed because I know my little people want to see a star.

People want someone they can love, someone to set an example.” PeopleKnowsWantLittlesHouseStarsPresidentGoneWifeExampleDressesSlaveLove SomeoneSlippers Author:Imelda Marcos
