“Fashion is not something that exists
              y
in dresses only. Fashion is in the
sky, in the street, fashion has to do
     ideas              live,
with ideas, the way we live and
what is happening.”
     - Coco Chanel
“Fashion is a form of ugliness so
intolerable that we have to alter it
     y
every six months.”
     -Oscar Wilde
