Power. like the diamond, dazzles the beholder, and also the wearer; it dignifies meanness; it magnifies littleness; to what is contemptible, it gives authority; to what is low, exaltation. To acquire it, appears not more difficult than to be dispossessed of it when acquired, since it enables the holder to shift his own errors on dependents, and to take their merits to himself. But the miracle of losing it vanishes, when we reflect that we are as liable to fall as to rise, by the treachery of others; and that to say "I am" is language that has been appropriated exclusively to God!
I write as someone who has no more time for repressive Islam than he does for repressive Christianity or Judaism, but at least look at the face in the hijab - and try to imagine the one beneath the niqab - before you depersonalise its wearer.
Only the wearer knows where the shoe pinches.
Elegance is all in the mind of the wearer.
Power, like the diamond, dazzles the beholder, and also the wearer; it dignifies meanness; it magnifies littleness; to what is contemptible, it gives authority; to what is low, exaltation.
Habit is the denial of creativity and the negation of freedom; a self-imposed straitjacket of which the wearer is unaware.

And it is not necessary to invest a wise man with power to convince him that it is a garment bedizened with gold, which dazzles the beholder by its splendor, but oppresses the wearer by its weight.
Surely it is one of the simplest laws of taste in dress, that it shall not attract undue attention from the wearer to the worn.
Many perfumes promise to lure men to women. None of them smell of motherhood. None of them proclaim the wearer to be tidy, thrifty, and sensible.
I always design the hat with the wearer in mind; otherwise, it's an inanimate object.
It thrills observers and makes the wearer feel a million dollars.
Brain damage and stupidity are very different things, but can have similar effects on the wearer.
No garment which distorts the shape and motion of the wearer is beautiful, nor s any garment beautiful which emphasizes more than one or at most two of your sexual characteristics.
The wearer knowes, where the shoe wrings.
Style is an extension of yourself. My approach is to enhance the personality of the wearer, so he has his own voice
