Words of Inspiration and Words to Live By!

I have always looked up to the fashion greats such as Chanel, Yves Saint Laurent, and Prada. So it was only natural for me to look up some fashion quotes, and to get their insights about fashion. Some quotes are funny and outlandish, some snobby or pretentious, while others speak the truth to what I wholeheartedly believe. Nevertheless, they are all people in the industry who I admire and look up to, and who I aspire to be. What are some of your favorite fashion quotes?
