Anyone can give advice on fashion. However, for some matters, it's best to leave opinion to the experts. After all, they're the ones who managed to make a living out of this zany industry we call fashion, managing to endure day in and day out the trials and tribulations of one of the craziest businesses in the world. But it's those experts who know fashion the best. So when it comes to tips and words of wisdom, it's pretty much best to just listen to them.
At the epicenter of a movement of clever artists, models, and filmmakers, Andy Warhol understood what it meant to create fashion and style. Never one to go underquoted, his words of wisdom continue to enhance the lives of aspiring fashionistas. One memorable quotation: "I love Los Angeles. I love Hollywood. They're beautiful. Everybody's plastic, but I love plastic. I want to be plastic."
For designer Issac Mizrahi, fashion just wasn't enough--he had to have a television show, too. After years in the business, he's got more than enough insight and zany quotes to fill several books, let alone a single article. Here's one: "I don't like people to feel completely described by the clothes they wear of mine. I want them to feel that they're describing themselves."
Part model, part musician, part actress, Grace Jones was one of the seminal figures of the 1970s downtown New York scene. Her influence in the modeling world is still felt, and she was one of the few performers who did a truly decadent job of dressing herself: "Models are there to look like mannequins, not like real people. Art and illusion are supposed to be fantasy."
You can't really talk about fashion without talking about Madonna. Though she might be all grown up now, her 1980s attire launched a thousand teenage girls to run around the mall and copy her style. On making it: "I think the ultimate challenge is to have some kind of style and grace, even though you haven't got money, or standing in society, or formal education. I had a very middle, lower-middle class sort of upbringing, but I identify with people who've had, at some point in their lives to struggle to survive. It adds another color to your character."
Even though he's currently rocking more grey hairs than ever before, incredible fashion designer Jean-Paul Gaultier is still called the enfant terrible of the fashion world. His rebellious attitude to fashion definitely has produced some gems over the years: "It's always the badly dressed people who are the most interesting."
Not necessarily a fashion icon of our time, the wit and wisdom of writer Oscar Wilde has inspired many a fashion designer with an interest in biting satire and foppish dandyness: "Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months."
One of the first supermodels, Cindy Crawford definitely saw the world of modeling change in the middle of one of the most prolific times for fashion in the States. Her candid interviews have led to helpful words of wisdom, like this one: " Even I don't wake up looking like Cindy Crawford."
