My role in all of this is very simple. I make clothing like armor. My clothing protects you from unwelcome eyes.

Yohji Yamamoto

I read the best works of some of the best satirists, and indeed best writers from the beginning of the Victorian era to about the 1960s. If you want to be a blacksmith, you go and watch the blacksmith working, and you work out what the blacksmith does.

Terry Pratchett

Wherever the want of clothing forced them to it, the human race made clothes for thousands of years, without a single man becoming a tailor.

Buy products of genuine lasting value from brands that take their manufacturing seriously. I have things that are 75 years old, like the dinner suit of my grandfather's that was made in 1933 by a tailor in Edinburgh. Clothes develop stories. You can remember where you've been through clothing that you've worn. I want products that are going to endure. I hate that we buy things that are disposable. We need to buy products with integrity.

Patrick Grant

Clothing is ultimately the suit of armor in which we battle the world.

Dawn Richard

If honor be your clothing, the suit will last a lifetime; but if clothing be your honor, it will soon be worn threadbare.

Clothing started as an armor for me. It was one of the ways that I protected myself from the world. It evolved into a form of creative expression.

Tracee Ellis Ross

Clothing shouldn't be a societal shackle. It should be art and truth and a way for us to show the world what we want out of it. It's environmental armor.

Rain Dove

I was always interested in making clothing that is worn by people in the real world.

Issey Miyake

I wish I had appreciated my youth - I should have worn tighter clothing when I could have!

Natalie Merchant

There's a lot of black men running around with crazy trauma scars, and they should be going to therapy. They should be sitting down and talking to people. But they can't. If you've got the armor of being a man, and the armor of being a black man, that hyper-masculine thing can make those scars deeper.
