Couture Quotes

I saw a lot of haute couture all my childhood, and without knowing it I've learned from when I was a child to recognise beautiful fabrics. (Ines de La Fressange)
I've never tried to do couture, because it's a whole different beast. View quote

By way of news, I can tell you that Couture, that bad-tempered fellow, has completely given up painting. It's no great pity; in this exhibition, he had some really bad paintings. View quote
Claude Monet
Did not Troyon tell me to enter the studio of Couture [in Paris]? It is needless to tell you how decided was my refusal to do so. I admit even that it cooled me, temporarily at least, in my esteem and admiration of Troyon.. ..and [I] after all, connected myself only with artists who were seeking. View quote
Claude Monet
Before I start, like to make sure I'm smart. Gather my composure, rather my swagger and my couture. Pivot my fitted, then begin to rivet, with a change of lyric. In other words, I reposition how I sit it. Then make you feel it, like I mispronounced "filet.”. View quote
Lupe Fiasco
I don't know why I'm here. Everything before our eyes is ridiculous. The light is wrong, the shadows are wrong. When I enter in the studio I feel like I am entering a tomb [in the studio of their common art-teacher Thoman Couture ]. I know we can't make a model undress in the street. But there are fields, and at least in the summer we could do studies of the nude in the country, since the nude appears to be the first and the last word in art. (Édouard Manet)
I was too curvy and too busty and a little too short. And I was a little bit self-conscious about it. But I was by no means heavy, I just - well, you have hips and boobs, and that's it. Haute couture, you don't really see girls with big boobs. And I always wanted first to be a model. So I had to say, "OK, you're going to find other things to do in this industry, or it's maybe not my industry." View quote
Heidi Klum
When I first got Yves Saint Laurent Couture, I didn't know how to take off a cape. I would ask Katoucha and Dalma - the real divas of the runway - 'Can you show me?' I've never been afraid to ask for help. View quote
Naomi Campbell
Couture has copied my things for years, in addition to countless other costume designers, claiming theirs were the original ideas. It's all part of the business, unfortunately. View quote

I love the 2000s because everyone started to love haute couture. View quote
Valentino Garavani
The ultimate art form of fashion is couture. I completely geek out when it comes to couture. It shows fashion as it used to be. I don't know how many people can actually afford the clothes, but in a way, that's beside the point. View quote
Diane Kruger
Couture gowns are like gremlins; you can't expose them to bright light or get them wet. View quote
Diablo Cody
I am still in love with couture because it is just two months from drawing pad to runway so everything on the catwalk is hot from the oven. (Christian Lacroix)
The problem with couture is not designers; it's what happens when the couturier will no longer be there. View quote
Alber Elbaz
Almost every collection I do has 200 different references. I don't have two of the same coat, two of the same dress. I have it in one color, in one fabric. I've tried to adapt the culture of couture, and the know-how and the heritage, but I try to update it. View quote
Alber Elbaz
