You said it was over
But your clothes say different on my bedroom floor

LIAM PAYNE

---

I'm tired of waking up in the same clothes
And the same holes in my skin
The same notes in the same hair
And the same words to the same songs in my head

LOW

---

Because they share the perpetually idealizing vision of art, clothes must be seen and studied as paintings are seen and studied--not primarily as cultural by-products or personal expressions but as connected links in a creative tradition of image-making.

ANNE HOLLANDER

---

I cannot pretend to do sculpture and make a woman the ridiculous pedestal of my pretensions. To render clothing poetic, yes--but one must preserve its dignity as clothing.

YVES SAINT LAURENT

---

I, who love woman, wanted to give her clothes in which she could be comfortable, in which she could drive a car, yet at the same time clothes that emphasized her femininity, clothes that flowed with her body. A woman is closest to being naked when she is well dressed.

COCO CHANEL

---

Thy clothes are all the soul thou hast.

JOHN FLETCHER

---

Fine clothes are good only as they supply the want of other means of procuring respect.

SAMUEL JOHNSON

---

I'm sick of wearin hand-me-down, raggedy hood clothes
Call me ugly, man I wish a b**** would clothes
Go out to the club, yea we probably should clothes
Yea, uh, say I got on my good clothes, what
Uh, say I got on my good clothes
Yo, forty dollars I done got me some good clothes

LITTLE BROTHER

---

The clothes I wear say nothing about me, but judging me for what I wear says enough about you.

GEORGY

---

I wore a black suit and a white shirt, a black tie and black shoes, all polished and shiny: clothes that normally would make me feel uncomfortable, as if I were in a stolen uniform, or pretending to be an adult. Today they gave me comfort of a kind. I was wearing the right clothes for a hard day.

NEIL GAIMAN

---

They are just clothes, shoes, and bags, you could say. And people do say it, day after day. But I think they are more than just clothes, shoes, and bags. They are a large part of a woman's character and tell us a bit of her story without saying a word.

NINA GARCIA

---

Western clothing is not a sequence of direct social and aesthetic messages cast in a language of fabric but, rather, a form of self-perpetuating visual fiction, like figurative art itself.

ANNE HOLLANDER

---

Dressing is a way of life. It brings you joy. It can give you freedom and liberation, help you to find yourself and to move without restraint. Isn't elegance forgetting what one is wearing?

YVES SAINT LAURENT

---

See where she comes, apparell'd like the spring.

WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE

---

You wash them clothes
Swee dee dee
And hang 'em on the line
I can see by the way
You wash them clothes
Your cookin' must be fine

CAT POWER

---

Clothes and manners do not make the man; but, when he is made, they greatly improve his appearance.

HENRY WARD BEECHER

---

I like to watch the way a model moves in my clothes, the way she gives them life, or if they are wrong, stillborn, the way her life rejects them.

YVES SAINT LAURENT

---

The soul of this man is his clothes.

WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE

---

An apple tree in bloom puts to shame all the men and women that have attempted to dress since the world began.

HENRY WARD BEECHER

---

Clothes as text, clothes as narration, clothes as a story. Clothes as the story of our lives. And if you were to gather all the clothes you have ever owned in all your life, each baby shoe and winter coat and wedding dress, you would have your autobiography.
