"Stop it! Stop asking me about Hillary’s pantsuits, or any other aspect of her personal style! If you persist, I swear to God I will stuff Mrs. Clinton into a Balenciaga bubble dress with matching gladiator spike-heeled boots, and then you’ll be sorry. Every 20 minutes, I get a jangling call from an earnest hack looking for quips about the fashion choices of the presidential candidates. These content generators are hell-bent on viewing the current political jousting match through the lens of la mode: What do I think of Hillary’s pink blouses? Is Cindy McCain hitting the mark with her fashion choices? How about that tie Barack wore last night? Oy vey! Talk about looking for love in all the wrong places." - Simon Doonan, in The New York Observer.

"Fashion thinks more about me than what I think about it. I just wore what I wore and people noticed. The sexiest thing a woman could wear? Being stark f***ing naked. Show me a woman who is faithful, and I won't believe you. I don't do underwear. I never do the washing. How would I know whether my clothes stink? I throw them away." - Keith Richards to the London Times.

"When I go home at night I play Guitar Hero or listen to Billie Holiday. I'm amazing at Guitar Hero! I had it written into the show. I go to tournaments in Brooklyn and put fake tattoos all over my body so I look like a rock star. No, 'cause I am a rock star. I made it to the semi-finals once, but they didn't have style points." - Blake Lively, to NYLON.

“I went through so many phases in high school that I can’t say exactly what my style was.

"But as anyone with a passing interest in classical myth will know, an encounter with the Immortals is generally tinged with danger; which might explain why Zoe's golden girls rapidly fell apart at the seams, however expensive their Grecian-inspired gowns. As for the Queen of the Underworld herself: well, she's still as thin as a pin, but possibly not quite as hot as Hades." - Justine Picardie in Sunday's Telegraph.
