A great quote should have the same impact as the perfect LBD or evening gown: It should stop you in your tracks, make you think, and maybe even drag out a laugh. Vogue picks out some of the best style statements made through the years:
"Fashion is all about eventually becoming naked" – Rene Konig
"Pour yourself a drink, put on some lipstick, and pull yourself together" - Elizabeth Taylor
"I like being a woman, even in a man's world. After all, men can't wear dresses, but we can wear the pants" - Whitney Houston

"Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months" – Oscar Wilde
"I wear my sort of clothes to save me the trouble of deciding which clothes to wear" — Katharine Hepburn
