Mask/fashion

Famous quotes containing the words mask and/or fashion:

“I met Murder on the way—
He had a mask like Castlereagh—”
—Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822)

“Fashion is primitive in its insistence on exhibitionism, which withers in isolation. The catwalk fashion show with its incandescent hype is its apotheosis. A ritualized gathering of connoiseurs and the spoilt at a spotlit parade of snazzy pulchritude, it is an industrialized version of the pagan festivals of renewal. At the end of each seasonal display, a priesthood is enjoined to carry news of the omens to the masses.”
—Stephen Bayley (b. 1951)
