“Fashion is, after all, a form of escapism, and in fact people are buying more special things than ever, nowadays. They deny and deny themselves, and wait and wait, and then they get sick of it and spend to make themselves feel better.” PeopleFeelsFactsFormWaitingSpecialFashionSickDenyBuyingFeel BetterEscapismSpecial Things Author:Tom Ford

“Even if you're starting from scratch and buying a new wardrobe, preppy clothes are very fairly priced compared to high fashion. They're very easy to absorb into your wardrobe. You probably already have stuff you can wear and there's a safety factor. You're dressed for success, in a way, if you look like you grew up with success.” IfsWayLooksEasyStuffFashionLike YouGrewClothesGrew UpSafetyStartingFactorsBuyingScratchesWardrobeHigh FashionPreppy Author:Lisa Birnbach
“Men's clothing hasn't changed in 200 years, maybe a lapel gets a little wider or a tie gets narrower from time to time. But it's usually always the same. There is stupidity in men's fashion. But women know who they are. They can change. Clothing is seductive for women. They get different personas by buying new clothes. But men don't.” KnowsMenYearsLittlesDifferentFashionChangedClothesStupidityTiesBuyingClothingsPersonaSeductiveNew Clothes Author:Massimo Vignelli
“I never cared about buying things for myself, like clothes.

So the ritual of fashion and shopping became very personal to me.” FashionClothesI RealizedShirtsBuyingRitualShoppingClosetsPreciseBuying Things Author:Marc Jacobs
