All IRIS APFEL Quotes about “Style”

“Style is attitude, attitude, attitude!”
“To find out who you are is like putting yourself on a psychiatric couch, but you have nobody to help you. Really it isn't easy. I was talking with my nephew this morning and he gave me one of the best quotes I've heard in years 'Personal style is curiosity about oneself.'”
“Style means you have a real curiosity about yourself and then you express it. Having style is not copying somebody else.”
“I can't tell people how to have style. No amount of money can buy you style. It's just instinctive.”
“I think you're born with style, but you have to develop it. You can be born with the talent to be an opera star, but you've got to work and practice it.”
“I don't pay attention to things like the talent for style. I don't meditate on things like that. I just do whatever I think I should do and go with it, and if people like it, then I'm very happy about it. And if not, I always figure it's their problem not mine.”
“I never just went to look for clothes and style; I always find that wherever I go.”
“There are absolutely no rules about style at all. Not for me.”
“You can't just say, "I'm gonna have style." You have to work at it. It's intuitive; some people have it, and some people can work on it all day long, and it will never happen.”
“You can't try to be somebody you're not; that's not style.”
