Inspiration: Quotes!

Hello there! And for those of you who are new here: yay, welcome!

I thought that, because we are right in the middle of the week, a huge dose of inspiration would be great! However, the catch is that this week's inspiration comes as quotes... about fashion, of course!

So I've picked up a few that are not so well-known, hope you enjoy them!

"About half my designs are controlled fantasy, 15 percent are total madness and the rest are bread-and-butter designs." (Manolo Blahnik)

"I think the idea of mixing luxury and mass-market fashion is very modern - wearing head-to-toe designer has become a bit passe. It's a new era in fashion - there are no rules.

+++++

"Even though it was the 70s, we found old stocks of clothes that had never been worn from the 50s and took them apart. I started to teach myself how to make clothes from that kind of formula." (Vivienne Westwood)

+++++

"Red is the ultimate cure for sadness." (Bill Blass)

My favorite is the one below (even though is not about fashion, it comes quite close):
