It's a Japanese way of thinking, that I give value for my merchandise. So I don't want to sell unnecessarily expensive dresses and make just 10 or 20 and then feel satisfied. I want to design for real women who can afford my dresses.

Tadashi Shoji

If I didn't have to fit in to sample sizes I'd be a size 14, easy. I wouldn't bat an eyelid.

Daisy Lowe

The new generation of designers, like Prabal Gurung and Alexander Wang, have hundreds of thousands following them on social media who will probably never be able to afford their dresses but still feel a loyalty to them. So when that designer writes a book or launches a beauty line, they might pick that up.

Eva Chen

If all purchases are spontaneous and simply driven by what is seen and loved, there is a high risk of ending up with 10 cocktail dresses and no outfits for work.

Aslaug Magnusdottir

I make films but I am trained as a designer. I come from this series of designers called critical designers, speculative designers.

Nelly Ben Hayoun

Designers are either not interested in making larger sizes or they don't feel that it's important.

Tess Holliday

Most entrepreneurs don't need as many customers as they think. A lot of people think 10 is too few for a sample. But if all 10 refused a product, why is that not enough? If you want 100, 1,000 or a million customers, you first have to get 10.

Eric Ries

I'm tired of being congratulated for being thin because I can more easily fit into sample sizes from the runway.

I don't feel that Chinese designers have reached the level of prominence that European or American designers have, but we've noticed in fashion schools in the U.S. and in England and we've seen how much the makeup of the students in the classes have changed there in the last five to 10 years.

Anna Wintour

Fashion has become a joke. The designers have forgotten that there are women inside the dresses.

Coco Chanel

There is always going to be that luxury customer out there. I have clients who buy $10,000 dresses and clients who buy $60 dresses. It's not so much about the money. Design is a mentality.

Jason Wu

None of the sample sizes ever fit me at the photo shoots. One would think that would've made me want to lose weight, but I just got rounder.

Sophie Dahl

When you hear designers complaining about the challenge of their profession, you have to say: don't get carried away-it's only dresses.

Karl Lagerfeld

My dresses are for women of all different shapes and sizes. Actually, the one I tried on yesterday was the one Jennifer wore. And who'd have thought I'd be the same size as Jennifer Lopez!

Victoria Beckham

Why should clothes be made of only one size? If you see across the globe, people of all sizes are there. Clothes are of all sizes, so the display on the ramp should also be of all sizes.

Divya Khosla Kumar

While the Environmental Genome Project does not seek to assign allele frequencies, we are aware of the importance of accurate allele frequency estimates for future epidemiologic studies and the large sample sizes such estimates will require.
