Get some inspiration from these quotes and make all heads turn around with your fashion sense.

A quote that inspired me and continues to do so as it hangs on my bedroom wall. Some of the most iconic designers of all time are not just revolutionary with their designs, but also great wordsmiths. They are sassy, witty, and on-point.
