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.
What I think I sell with my clothes is confidence, so hopefully all my dresses, my accessories, are friends to the women. When you open the closet, and your eyes are swollen, and you don't like the way you look, you go to your friends.
A woman is closest to being naked when she is well-dressed.
When I first started designing, all women were dressed like men, and I said, 'Hey, guys, let's be women, put the two together - it's not either/or. Let's celebrate our bodies. Our bodies are different.'
Buy less. Choose well. Make it last. Quality, not quantity. Everybody's buying far too many clothes.
Fashion becomes unfashionable. Style never.
You should always own a black dress because no one ever remembers a black dress.
