Fashion Industry Quotes
The fashion industry gets examined from both inside and outside in these quotes. One voice credits a working-class upbringing with opening their eyes to culture and art, another argues that thinness is driven by consumer demand rather than designers themselves, and a further reflection points to the sheer economic scale of the sector.
Fashion industry quotes weigh business pressure against image standards and personal background. For a broader style theme, see Fashion quotes.

I wasn't scouted in the mall as a kid; it just kinda happened naturally 'cause of Instagram and New York and being visible, which is cool. Things just started rolling in.

The fashion industry is often charged with having kept its blinders on as one Seventh Avenue company after another lost employees to AIDS.

Society has a hyper emphasis on thin, and that trend comes from the consumers - it does not come from the fashion industry. The fashion industry needs to make money; that's what we do. If people said, 'We want a 300 pound purple person,' the first industry to do it would be fashion.
