“When you get into fashion, when you're not yet working in fashion, you have this idea about what the fashion world is: that it's very glamorous, it's the red carpet, it's very editorial. But really, what you don't understand until you get into it, is what goes on the rest of the time, which is just hard work. Besides passion and dedication, it's the grit. How long are you willing to be in it to become successful?” WorldLongIdeasHardPassionSuccessfulFashionWillingHard WorkGoes OnRedDedicationCarpetGlamorousGritRed CarpetEditorialsBecoming SuccessfulFashion World Author:Prabal Gurung
“Part of the role of photography is to exaggerate. Most of the photographs in your paper, unless they are hard news, are lies. Fashion pictures show people looking glamorous. Travel pictures show a place looking at its best, nothing to do with the reality... Most of the pictures we consume are propaganda.” PeopleHardShowsRealityLyingRolesFashionPaperPhotographyNewsPhotographDeceptionPropagandaGlamorous Author:Martin Parr

“You sit at a fashion show in another country and you watch all of these paparazzi swarm around a celebrity, only they're a local celebrity, maybe a soap opera star, so you don't have any idea who they are, you just know they're famous to a bunch of stunned Italians. It's weird, because when you can't identify who a celebrity is, they can just look like overslicked stand-ins. That might sound awful, but what I mean is, when you think about most actresses, even in Hollywood, they really aren't that fascinating or glamorous in their own right once you strip away the flashbulbs.” ThinkingMeanCountryFashionGlamorousPaparazziFashion Show Author:Christopher Bollen
“The biggest mistake people are making when it comes to fashion is looking in the mirror and thinking you're somebody else. People sit and watch the runway and then some nice little plump lady in Squeedunk will see Angelina Jolie in a very glamorous dress from the runway and she thinks if she buys that dress she'll look like her. It's sad, but it's true.” PeopleThinkingMistakeNiceFashionGlamorousBiggest MistakeSome Nice Author:Iris Apfel
