To call a fashion wearable is the kiss of death. No new fashion worth its salt is ever wearable.

Eugenia Sheppard

I like doing slightly masculine, Savile Row tailoring. A nice jacket. Wearable - it's almost a dirty word in fashion, wearable, but that's what I do.

Stella McCartney

If you look through the history of wearables, I was named the father of wearable computing, or the world's first cyborg. But the definition of wearable computing can be kind of fuzzy itself. Thousands of years ago, in China, people would wear an abacus around their neck - that, in one sense, was a wearable computer.

Steve Mann

A lot of what you see in the supermarket I would argue is not really food. It's what I call edible, food-like substances.

Michael Pollan

I like the dream, like fantasy dresses. Women can dream at 9 in the morning and at 10 o’clock at night, it doesn’t matter. I think it is also important for me to make it pragmatic and practical and wearable. I always say, 'If you can’t eat it, it’s not food, and if you can’t wear it, it’s not fashion, it is something else.'

Alber Elbaz

Cooking for yourself is the only sure way to take back control of your diet from the food scientists and food processors, and to guarantee you're eating real food rather than edible foodlike substances, with their unhealthy oils, high-fructose corn syrup, and surfeit of salt.

Michael Pollan

In a lot of ways, a lot of smells that aren't necessarily edible smell good, and they remind you of certain aspects of food. So making those associations with what smells good or smells a certain way and pairing that with actual edible ingredients is one avenue that we take creatively.

Grant Achatz

Between food and fashion, there's always a direct correlations - designers have forever done prints with food on them. Vegetables, fruit, apples. There are some beautiful prints that have been made with fruit over time. I think food and restaurants have become more and more fashionable over time. That's become more of a fashion thing than fashion becoming a food thing. I don't think fashion has gotten so food oriented in the reverse aspect, but I think the whole food industry has gotten very design oriented. I think it's a nice way of putting things together.

Nicole Miller

I do love fashion as a mode of self expression, and I appreciate it for being wearable art.

Melissa Leong

Everything here is edible; even I'm edible. But that, dear children, is cannibalism, and is in fact frowned upon in most societies.

Johnny Depp

Everything in this room is edible. Even I'm edible. But, that would be called canibalism. It is looked down upon in most societies.

Tim Burton

The DC Improv food is amazingly edible for a comedy club.

Jim Gaffigan

Fashion is about affordable luxury ... To succeed, designers need to be affordable, wearable, accessible, and aspirational.

Tommy Hilfiger

Today, the origin of 90% of all the edible food Gambians consume are from places they have never heard of.

Yahya Jammeh

There's a form of selling out. It's necessary. You have to become edible for people in Texas. You have to become edible for the Christian right, for mass audiences.

Shia LaBeouf

Things live and die, and then someone processes them into edible portions. This is a complete telling of the story, 'Food.' The basic plot hasn't changed for centuries. I shouldn't need to know any more details, any more history, in order to decide if my food tastes good or not.
