Bill Blass Quotations

Something about glamour interested me. All my schoolbooks had drawings of women on terraces with a cocktail and a cigarette.

Each individual piece is a calculated attempt to entice women to add to their wardrobe.

Sometimes the eye gets so accustomed that if you don't have a change, you're bored. It's the same with fashion, you know. And that, I suppose, is what style is about.

Dior really was a savior. He almost single-handedly revived women's interest in clothes.

I have a firm belief in such things as, you know, the water, the Earth, the trees and sky. And I'm wondering, it is increasingly difficult to find those elements in nature, because it's nature I believe in rather than some spiritual thing.

Simplicity is the soul of modern elegance.

Fashion can be bought by anybody; style takes discernment, it has to do with individuality.

Reading has given me more satisfaction than really anything else.

We don't live in a world of reality, we live in a world of perceptions. No woman can be well dressed unless she is comfortable in what she is wearing.

When in doubt, wear red.

Red is the ultimate cure for sadness.

Style is primarily a matter of instinct.
