My son has followed fashion since he was a punk. He and I agree that fashion is about sex.

“Feminists wish women to seem like men. They're not men.” 

“I didn't want to be a fashion designer, and for a good half of my career I didn't like it. I always wanted to do other things.” 

“Fasion is about eventually becoming naked.” 

“I never look at fashion magazines. I find them incredibly boring.” 

“Fashion is very important. It is life-enhancing and, like everything that gives pleasure, it is worth doing well.” 

“It's true the punk fashion itself was iconographic: rips and dirt, safety pins, zips, slogans, and hairstyles. These motifs were so iconic in themselves - motifs of rebellion.” 

“I love designing at the moment, I'm so happy with my work.” 

“You have a more interesting life if you wear impressive clothes.” 

“I am attracted to people who make this effort in knowing what suits them - they are individual and stylish

Buy less. Choose well. Make it last. Quality, not quantity. Everybody's buying far too many clothes.

I own my own company, so I've never had businessmen telling me what to do or getting worried if something doesn't sell. I've always had my own access to the public, because I started off making my clothes for a little shop and so I've always had people buying them.

If you wear clothes that don't suit you, you're a fashion victim. You have to wear clothes that make you look better.

I've got a real sense of three-dimensional geometry. I can look at a flat piece of fabric and know that if I put a slit in it and make some fabric travel around a square, then when you lift it up it will drape in a certain way, and I can feel how that will happen.

You have a more interesting life if you wear impressive clothes.

In history people dressed much better than we do today.

The young Japanese, especially, love to wear the latest thing and when they come to London they head for my shops as part of what they want to find in Britain.

My clothes are very popular in Japan.

I think dress, hairstyle and make-up are the crucial factors in projecting an attractive persona and give one the chance to enhance one's best physical features.

“My clothes have a story. They have an identity. They have a character and a purpose. That's why they become classics. Because they keep on telling a story. They are still telling it.” 

“If you dress up, it helps your personality to emerge - if you choose well.” 

“I think dress, hairstyle and make-up are the crucial factors in projecting an attractive persona and give one the chance to enhance one's best physical features.” 

“Everyone has a masculine and feminine side; masculine qualities and feminine qualities. We've all got these sides to ourselves. And clothes can tell that story. People would think this is very unsympathetic, but I would always say to people, you don't actually need to go through with an operation, can't you just be? You are who you are! But then people say to me, "Oh, you're really dreadful, how would you know?".” 

I urge everyone to be trendsetters for Azza Suleiman. Let's make it one fashion which everyone will want to follow.
