Fashion is born by small facts, trends, or even politics, never by trying to make little pleats and furbelows, by trinkets, by clothes easy to copy, or by the shortening or lengthening of a skirt.

-- Elsa Schiaparelli, (Sep 10 1890-1973), Italian-French designer; Her use of accessories and dramatic colours enlivened the fashion scene for 40 years; introduced the padded shoulder, 1932.
