I had no connections, and the fashion world was a closed elite. So my mother made appointments for herself with three top Parisian makeup artists and spoke highly about me... she was my first publicist!
I see myself as a revolutionary, as a fashion rebel.
I check Style.com to look at the collections and love to poke around some of the other fashion blogs to see what's going on.
The worst is when you read things on the Internet blogs, because people don't hold back. Sometimes you read wonderful things, but sometimes it's really awful stuff. Like on the Fashion Spot, for example, people always comment on you. They forget that we might read that stuff.
I've been interested in art and fashion for as long as I can remember because they are so visual. I am fascinated by the idea of visual creation from the ground up, which is a challenge in ballet when the audience has seen every show of yours, every other principal that you've shared a role with, and every different production.
Whether it's a canvas tote or Givenchy, a day bag you love is essential. It doesn't have to be a fashion It bag of the season, either.
Fashion says a lot about a person.
I'm not one who goes to a lot of fashion shows or tries to infiltrate that world, really.
Working in a salon, you look at trends all day long. You're looking at color all the time, what new products are coming out. You're a part of the fashion industry, especially if you're working in a higher-end salon.
Fashion is more about taste than money - you have to understand your body and tailor clothes to your needs; it's all about the fit. I do the alterations myself - I'm quite a seamstress - it's the influence of my Hungarian mother.
I was such a late bloomer when it comes to fashion.
I love fashion. I always have. When I was a kid, I was in almost full-on costumes when I went to school, and I've retained a bit of that in my adulthood.
Fashion is what you adopt when you don't know who you are.
My own mother is very accomplished and makes things like bahar breads as though they are going out of fashion - they are like stuffed parathas and can contain anything from potatoes to poppy seeds.
Art produces ugly things which frequently become more beautiful with time. Fashion, on the other hand, produces beautiful things which always become ugly with time.
In an age when the fashion is to be in love with yourself, confessing to be in love with somebody else is an admission of unfaithfulness to one's beloved.
So soon as a fashion is universal, it is out of date.
It's so funny because when I talk about fashion and menswear designers, it's really like a small percentage of my head. I don't mind talking about it, but I always worry that it's gonna seem to the outside world that that's all I think about.
What you wear is how you present yourself to the world, especially today when human contacts go so fast. Fashion is instant language.
While it's nice to appreciate the fashion world... what makes you happy are real relationships and the moments you share with loved ones.
Fans don't lie. They just tell you what they really think, and they see details that even people in fashion don't.
An athletic man, or whatever you want to call him, will only look good in a very classic suit, a pair of classic jeans, athletic clothes or simply naked. Forget fashion. This is not going to happen, unless you want to look like a Chippendales dancer in designer clothes.
I think tights make a comeback out of necessity every season: you can only go so far with naked legs in the cold! You've got to protect yourself. I remember going to a fashion show and saying, 'And it's okay if I wear nude tights with this?' to the designer, who looked at me like I just killed his dog or something.
The new fashion is to talk about the most private parts of your life; other fashion is to repent of your excesses and to criticize the drugs that made you happy in the other times.
Beauty, by way of fashion, has to do with confidence, with flattering silhouettes, with patterns, with proper fit for body type, and with an abundance of self-love!
Fashion breaks my heart.
You can see designers and fashion people bringing in older girls to do their shows - I'm not even afraid to say 'older.'
No one knows me in the States because the movies have been released in such an awkward, irregular fashion, all by different distributors. There is no continuity.
In the last couple of years, fashion's gotten a lot safer. People are really pulling back.
Fashion should not be expected to serve in the stead of courage or character.
I love, love, love fashion so much. That's why I became a model in the first place.
History is the key to everything: politics, religion, even fashion.
I like looking nice, but I always put comfort over fashion. I don't find thin girls attractive; be happy and healthy. I've never had a problem with the way I look. I'd rather have lunch with my friends than go to a gym.
I was never so directly inspired by fashion. It always came from somewhere else.
I just sing and write songs and wear what I want. It's quite a good job really. If I wanted to I suppose I could become more of a fashion icon, but singing is my thing.
In fashion, you need to present something new every six months, but it takes time to study things. Development is very important.
