I'd love for us all to slow down the cycle of collections, and produce less, but of better quality. It seems that designers are locked into a system of renewal that, for me, often seems arbitrary.

Anyone who is passionate about what they do will have a better chance of connecting with future generations than those who simply follow transient trends. At least their work will have a distinctive character, and this is what people respond to, I believe.

More quotes by Giorgio Armani

The difference between style and fashion is quality.

Fashion is what is suggested and often better avoided, [while] style is what each person has and must preserve throughout their life.

Cretins are never elegant. Intelligent people, on the other hand, even with two rags on, dress with logic, so they are always elegant.

Fashion is often about trends, whereas style is about more eternal qualities.

Elegance is not about being noticed, but about being remembered.
