“I never wanted to design clothes. I never wanted to work for the fashion industry. Shoes sort of belong to the fashion industry, which is why I'm part of the fashion industry. But that's never been my thought. My thought since I was a child was really to design those shoes for girls on stage.” ChildrenWantedGirlStageFashionDesignIndustryClothesShoesMy ThoughtsFashion Industry Author:Christian Louboutin
“I'm definitely a vintage collector. I have a wardrobe of core basics that I like to spice up with different colors, new accessories, and I love to try on new things to invite something different.

“Characters on stage should be flat, like clothes in a fashion show: what you get should be no more than what you see. Psychological realism is repulsive, because it allows us to escape unpalatable reality by taking shelter in the “luxuriousness” of personality, losing ourselves in the depth of individual character. The writer's task is to block this manoeuvre, to chase us off to a point from which we can view the horror with a dispassionate eye.” ShouldCharacterShowsRealityEyeIndividualViewsStageFashionPersonalityHorrorClothesLosingTasksDepthBlockPsychologicalFlatsShelterRealismFashion ShowDispassionateLosing Ourselves Author:Elfriede Jelinek
“A method of child-rearing is not--or should not be--a whim, a fashion or a shibboleth. It should derive from an understanding of the developing child, of his physical and mental equipment at any given stage, and, therefore, his readiness at any given stage to adapt, to learn, to regulate his behavior according to parental expectations.” ShouldChildrenGivenUnderstandingStageFashionBehaviorExpectationsMethodDevelopingEquipmentReadinessWhimParentalChild Rearing Book:The Magic Years: Understanding and Handling the Problems of Early Childhood Source: The Magic Years: Understanding and Handling the Problems of Early Childhood
“I feel like I've gone through stages with the industry; when I first started showing it was during the time of the recession, the economical situation meant fashion was suffering.

“We are devastated to learn of the death of Alexander McQueen, one of the greatest talents of his generation. He brought a uniquely British sense of daring and aesthetic fearlessness to the global stage of fashion.

“It is a grand old name, that of gentleman, and has been recognized as a rank and power in all stages of society. To possess this character is a dignity of itself, commanding the instinctive homage of every generous mind, and those who will not bow to titular rank will yet do homage to the gentleman. His qualities depend not upon fashion or manners, but upon moral worth; not on personal possessions, but on personal qualities.” MindHas BeensCharacterNamesQualityMoralStageFashionDependsDignityPossessionMannersGenerousGentlemanBowsHomagePersonal Qualities Author:Samuel Smiles
“For theater, the fashion had to have a certain grandeur that would read on the stage while also flattering the actress.
