What's your favourite quote on dressing well

[Duly Noted]

Interviewer: "In Happy Are the Happy, one of the characters says that you can’t just “cover yourself with fabric.” Could fashion be metaphysical?"

"Absolutely. One makes a deeply serious decision in appearing before the world. With it comes courage, the desire to be seductive, the fear of not being seductive, self-doubt … There’s always room for error. One seldom ever feels perfect, so perfect that one should run out into the world to show it off. It’s only ever an attempt. In that sense, getting dressed is deeply metaphysical, because it’s an attempt one has to face day after day, with very little chance of success. It’s the physical side of what one undergoes morally, and it’s no less important in my mind." Yasmina Reza

"The details are not the details, they make the design."
I'm not sure of whom is responsible for the quote, or even if it was said about clothing, but it certainly fits.

yes, I think that´s true, details can make all the difference
