I have a very fit body and have never faced any major injury problems. So yes, the secret to my success is my fit body.

Mary Kom

When I was younger I always wanted to dress like Kim [Kardashian], but her style doesn't necessarily fit my body type.

Kim Kardashian

The dress must follow the body of a woman, not the body following the shape of the dress.

Hubert de Givenchy

If you have notoriety, you can dress any way you want to dress. That's the way it is. I just like to get dressed up. I think that they go hand in hand - notoriety and people lookin at ya. If they look at ya, either you look like a million dollars, or you don't. A guy can have a phenomenal body, but if the suit doesn't fit him, forget it.

Ric Flair

Your earthly body is after all nothing more than a dress and inside it is a finer dress, and you yourself are in this finer dress.

Manfred Kyber

You can train your mental strength just like you train your body. If your body looks fit or ripped, it looks strong, and you can flex your muscles. So, physically, you have a certain strength. Mentally, it's the same thing. You can train your psychological strength.

Wladimir Klitschko

I'll exercise in spurts, usually inspired by a dress that I have to fit into. But once that gown is squeezed into, if I continue to exercise, I get sick or I pull my back. For some reason my body literally rejects exercise.

Debra Messing

I love wearing dresses that hug the body, but then, at the Oscars, I had a big dress, and I really loved that. It's a style I never thought I would wear, but I saw the dress, and I was like, 'Oh my God, that's it!'

Camila Alves

It's no secret I like to dress a bit sexy and body-conscious, and as soon as I was pregnant, it was like it was inappropriate to dress the way that I dress. And that really annoyed me. It's a wrong message that dressing feminine and sexy and being a mother can't go together.

Julia Restoin Roitfeld

I've never shown up to the set of 'SNL' or 'Girls' without having a million options for me to try on. They don't bat an eye at my body or how to dress me because they dress all kinds of bodies as costumers.

Aidy Bryant

There are different things to wear in different places, and if you want to fit in and show respect, you can dress to do that, or you can dress to show that you are foreign and not from there. That can work, too.

Skepta

You don't have to put yourself under pressure, you don't have to be fit even before your body is fit.

Jofra Archer

The body must stay fit. Fit people like themselves much better.

Diana Vreeland

Fit is everything. I don't care what your body type is like: If you're not wearing clothes that fit you, you can't have style.

Stacy London

Accuracy is the basis of style. Words dress our thoughts and should fit; and should fit not only in their utterances, but in their implications, their sequences, and their silences, just as in architecture the empty spaces are as important as those that are filled.
