They said what? Funny, wit & crazy designer quotes

As the year slowly but inevitably draws to an end it’s so human typical to draw some conclusions as well. Fashion Bible WWD.com has put together some of the greatest quotes this year and here are my top picks from the huge list. Hope you’ll like it just as much as I did.

Karl Lagerfeld on being a lesbian:

I think the women are better than the men. I think if I were a woman here, I would be a lesbian.”

Marc Jacobs on recession and his colorful F/W 2009 collection:

What? Is all black going to help the economy?”

Stephanie Cota from Mattel on Barbie’s fashion obsessions:

Barbie has a long history of working with various designers and artists who use Barbie as a muse. It was a natural for Barbie, not only with her fashion heritage, but also because of her passion for shoes. She has a billion shoes and we needed to do something special for her shoe collection.”

Stella McCartney on money:

I really admire people who earn money and part with their hard-earned money for my product.”

Valentino on winning an Oscar:

What can I say? An Oscar [for Valentino: The Last Emperor]would be an incredible crowning for an emperor.”

Alexander McQueen on why he’s not guilty of the economic crisis:

This [economic] crisis isn’t my fault. I have to be who I am. This is hard. It’s old McQueen, aggressive McQueen. In this business, you have to be aggressive and have aggressive feelings.”

Jennifer Lopez on right fashion choices:

I say do what makes you happy and wear what you want because the only thing that really matters is if your mother calls you up the next day and says, ‘What were you wearing?'”

Donna Karan on finding the proper moment:

This isn’t nuclear science. Don’t deliver fall clothes until back-to-school, when the leaves start to change in September. It’s about to get cold out. When it’s cold, let’s warm the customer… They hype a movie when it’s hitting the theaters. People get excited; they go see it.”

Ok, Lady GaGa can hardly be called a fashion designer (though she’s definitely involved in making her incredible stage costumes), and I can’t help but include her in my fashion designer list. You know how much I love GaGa and just looove her quote. Check it out.

Lady GaGa on having the right accessory:

[Tonight,] I had no gloves, and the outfit needed gloves. So Nicky [Formichetti] decided to paint me white. That’s what happens when you don’t have the right accessory.”
