I think fashion is probably one of the most accessible and immediate forms of visual culture. In 1978, when I realized that I wanted to work on fashion, I had gone to Yale to get my Ph.D. in European cultural history. I suddenly realized fashion's part of culture, and I can do fashion history. All my professors thought this was a really bad idea, that fashion was frivolous and unimportant. And, increasingly over time, people have recognized that it provides such a mirror to the way we think, our values and attitudes.

Valerie Steele

Some people think fashion is frivolous but it's not... it's just that some ideas come and go quickly, and that's the nature of the language of fashion.

Douglas Coupland

I was never made to feel that fashion was frivolous and any old dress would do. Fashion was serious stuff in my house and in my life. In fact, most memories I have growing up involve beautiful dresses.

Tinsley Mortimer

I think fashion takes itself way too seriously. It's just fashion, people. It's just clothes. It should be frivolous and fun. You're not meant to see it as church and pray to a blouse.

Jeremy Scott

Fashion is not frivolous. It is a part of being alive today.

Mary Quant

Fashion is not frivolous. I am a businesswoman, a very serious person.

Donatella Versace

It is imperative to create luxury products that are also functional. My vision for fashion precludes frivolous, fantasy-only designs. That said, fashion does tend to move more quickly than interior design. One doesn't change their couch every season as one does their wardrobe.

Giorgio Armani

I've struggled with that over the years: Is fashion relevant? Is it frivolous? Is it trivial? Because I give so much of my essence to it, as do everybody I work with.

Kenneth Cole

There is unfortunately a world that still exists that dismisses fashion as being a little bit frivolous and the people who work in it are not so smart.

Anna Wintour

Anybody can lead a frivolous life. A frivolous writer, however, must have taste and intelligence.

Mason Cooley

Sometimes I was frivolous. Did you have some frivolous years? I had to live mine out in public.

Linda Ronstadt

As you always discover when you make something, typically if your object isn't frivolous, people's relationship to it isn't frivolous.

Akiva Goldsman

Frivolous sorrow is folly. Frivolous enjoyment is not.

Mason Cooley

Fashion is always seen as somewhat frivolous and self-indulgent. And I think people on the inside maybe don't see or understand how exciting and diverse a business it is.

Imran Amed

In a weird way, fashion, which is frivolous to the core, shouldn't be taken seriously, but thank God people do: it makes for great people-watching.

Justin Theroux

The frivolous can call me frivolous. I've always been most punctilious about important things. And I insist that no one knows better than I do the Holy Fathers, or the Scriptures, or the Canons of the Councils.
