“My style is definitely schizophrenic; it does change from day to day a lot. It depends on my mood: sometimes I’ll be going through a girly, childlike stage and wear a pretty lace dress with a bow in my hair. Then sometimes I’ll be moody and just wear black.”

“My favourite outfit was this black lace dress that I found in a vintage shop in Williamsburg, New York.”

“Back when I was helping put the swing into the swinging ’60s, I used to hang out with Cathy McGowan. We’d be doing ‘Ready Steady Go!’ on T.V., and Biba used to make our dresses. We’d be in the flat in Cromwell Road on Friday night, just before the live show, and they’d still be sewing.”

• The first dress that I wore in the Spice Girls, which everybody thought was a little black Gucci dress, was actually from Miss Selfridge – it wasn’t a little black Gucci dress.
• I do want to be a representative of the African community, and I want to hold myself and dress myself in a way that reflects that. I want black kids to see me and think, ‘Okay, he’s carrying himself as a black man, and that’s how a black man should carry himself.’ – Colin Kaepernick
• A perfectly fitted sheath dress that can take you from day to night is something that every woman should have in her closet. You can’t go wrong with black, but a little bit of color is nice. I love a lot of color, personally. You can accessorize a sheath dress. Look at how Michelle Obama accessorizes clothes to make them her own. – Jason Wu
• You can wear a beautiful black dress that you’ve maybe had for years, but if you wear a fun shoe, you can completely change it. Wear something different, something sexy, something strappy, or something with pom poms. -Edgardo Osorio
• I wear a lot of black, and it’s not because I’m depressed or anything. I like black jeans – they’re pretty much the only colored jeans I wear. James Jeans have the most comfortable fabric. I’d say in general, I dress pretty comfortably.- Brittany Howard
• A black dress is beautiful! It’s a good choice. It could be the wrong choice at certain events or situations, but it’s very rare that you see a girl who looks bad in a black dress.- Olivier Theyskens
• My mum taught me a lot about fashion in terms of knowing what looks good on you and developing my own sense of style. Even when we were shooting the Sunglass Hut campaign, we went through racks of clothing together, and ultimately I decided on a short, more fitted peplum dress, while Mum opted for a sexy blazer and black leggings.-Georgia May Jagger
• I kind of rode this weird line between athlete and artist. It was a little different because most of the athletes were total jocks, and most of the artists dressed in black and were kind of considered a little on the fringe. But I hung out with both crowds in my high school. – Terry Crews
• When I die, I want to be buried in a long long-sleeve black Ralph Lauren dress and brown chunky boots. I want my hair styled like his models, long hair that flows. I also want natural makeup with a light pink lip. – Nadine Velazquez
• Chanel took women out of corsets and put them into the ‘simple little black dress,’ the perfectly tailored suit, the bell-bottom sailor pants, and jersey tops. -Michael Korda
