Fashion passes, but style remains.

Coco Chanel

Fashion you can buy, but style you possess. The key to style is learning who you are, which takes years. There’s no how-to road map to style. It’s about self-expression and, above all, attitude.

Iris Apfel

Fashion is temporary; fashion is a race. What it's doing is giving you something that you say, "This is the outer wrapping of me." Style is something else. It's not quantifiable. Fashion is about selling. Fashion is about what's in. Style is independent of that; style is individual.

Annie Lennox

I always believed that style was more important than fashion. They are rare, those who imposed their style while fashion makers are so numerous.

Yves Saint Laurent

My design style is really a reflection of my fashion style, which is what I started in, working in fashion.

Brandi Cyrus

Style is very personal. It has nothing to do with fashion. Fashion is over quickly. Style is forever.

Ralph Lauren

Fashion changes, Style remains

Coco Chanel

For a woman, le smoking is an indispensable garment with which she finds herself continually in fashion, because it is about style, not fashion. Fashions come and go, but style is forever.

Yves Saint Laurent

Fashion is not style. Nay, we can say more: Fashion is instead of style. Style is an idiom springing spontaneously from the personality but deliberately maintained. If you have no personality, you may be able to save your face and, possibly, your entire anatomy by following the current fashion, but all we shall know about you, when we see you coming down the street, is that you had enough money to buy a glossy magazine and were sufficiently cunning to work out the cut of the garments shown therein.

Quentin Crisp

Fashion fades, only style remains the same.

Coco Chanel

Fashion and style is just that. Fashion and style. It's not brain surgery.

Cindy Crawford

A style does not go out of style as long as it adapts itself to its period. When there is an incompatibility between the style and a certain state of mind, it is never the style that triumphs.

Coco Chanel

What is the difference between fashion and style? Fashion says, 'Me, too,' and style, 'Only me.'
