In honour of my SAFW trip here are a few of my favourite fashion quotes:

Fashions fade, style is eternal.
-Yves Saint Laurent

Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening.
-Coco Chanel

Zest is the secret of all beauty. There is no beauty that is attractive without zest.
-Christian Dior

Elegance is a question of personality, more than one's clothing.
-Jean-Paul Gaultier

Only great minds can afford a simple style.
-Stendal

A woman's dress should be like a barbedwire fence: serving its purpose without obstructing the view.
-Sophia Loren

fashion is merely a form of ugliness so unbearable that we are compelled to alter it every six months.
-Oscar Wilde

Art produces ugly things which frequently become beautiful with time. Fashion, on the other hand, produces beautiful things which always become ugly with time.
-Jean Cocteau

Above all, remember that the most important thing you can take anywhere is not a Gucci bag or French-cut jeans; it's an open mind.
-Gail Rubin Bereny
