Something I always look for in an outfit is to have a standout piece.
Interpretation
A standout piece in an outfit draws attention and makes a statement.
Coco Rocha emphasizes the importance of having a distinctive element in one's clothing that catches the eye and expresses individuality. This 'standout piece' can be anything from a bold accessory to a unique garment that enhances the overall look and showcases personal style.
In practice
This quote can be used during a fashion seminar to emphasize personal expression through clothing.
My wedding dress is a piece of art that I'll treasure forever. It was designed and created by Zac Posen. I gave him only the tiniest bit of direction when he started, and the end product was more beautiful than anything I could have imagined.
Models are supposed to be a muse to you. Why is a muse always the same body type, the same look? It's boring.
Usually, a model gets two to three seasons, or a year and a half, and that's it - you're done. For me, it will be 10 years.
I think, as long as you're secure with yourself and happy with yourself, it really doesn't matter what the world around you thinks.
When I started, I knew nothing about fashion. I remember, my first day going to my agency, I was wearing these huge bell-bottoms - they were patchwork corduroy and denim, which, at the time, I thought were amazing. My agent told me, 'You have a casting with Prada - you have to burn those jeans.'
I know what I want, I know where I'm going and I'm happy with what I am.
I used to look back at pictures and cringe but actually I'm quite proud that I've had fun with fashion and don't always look perfect. The only regret I have is when I look at something I wore when I was very young and it obviously looks like it belonged to someone else.
I always say: To be well dressed you must be well naked.
Elegance does not consist in putting on a new dress.
Go out there and try on everything - short skirts, long skirts, mid length, little jackets, men's clothing - and really look at yourself; really walk around in the clothes. Don't just take someone else's advice. You must feel you in these clothes and feel what it's like to live in them.
On a hanger, no dress is sexy. It's just fabric on a hanger.
Though designed as a mere convenience, clothing sizes establish an unintended norm, an ideal from which deviations seem like flaws. There's nothing like a trip to the dressing room to convince a woman - fat, thin, or in between - that she's a freak.
