More quotes by Kelly Cutrone
Society has a hyper emphasis on thin, and that trend comes from the consumers - it does not come from the fashion industry. The fashion industry needs to make money that's what we do. If people said, 'We want a 300 pound purple person,' the first industry to do it would be fashion.

You have to be prepared for people to hate you. Average people love to be average, because nobody bothers them.

I think between the ages of 15 and 32, don't worry about getting married, don't worry about settling down, don't worry about having a baby. Give birth to yourself.

I would never rep Versace. I can't stand her. I think she makes disgusting clothes. Calvin [Klein] is like, snore! Who wears Calvin Klein? I'm not dissing him. I think he's built an amazing, respectable business, but I would never want to work for Calvin Klein, ever.

Most fashion models do not look good in bikinis because they're too thin.

This is an important lesson to remember when you're having a bad day, a bad month, or a shitty year. Things will change: you won't feel this way forever. And anyway, sometimes the hardest lessons to learn are the ones your soul needs most.

We're all hookers in one way or another.

We're constantly getting these messages to mind our own business and look the other way if we want to be well liked, to not tell the truth or speak our mind or say anything too intense. Well, I'm telling you here that this approach not only makes you party to other people's crimes against themselves but is a prescription for mediocrity and delusion

People want to express themselves - that's what fashion is for. You can go to Target and get something that Rodarte designed for $34, but would you want to go buy the higher version for $3,400? I think most people would say no.

If you're 5' 6, just stay home. Don't pretend you're 5' 8 or 5' 9. If you want to be a beauty model, I guess that's fine, you can do glamour, but you're not going to do runway. If you're over 29 - 26, even - I would suggest you work regionally and not try to work nationally.

You can have sex with whomever you want to you're not trapped with the person you had the baby with. You can pick the name, religion, schools, what they wear. There's no consulting - you call all the shots. Single motherhood is an amazing thing it's a blessing.

We see women who go out and want to look like Jennifer Aniston, and they're wearing an ill-fitting red dress and ugly gold shoes, and they've got flat hair and they can't walk.

It’s one thing if you are a luxury brand and have been around for 60 years and can weather the retail storm we’ve had, but if you are a new brand that’s just starting out — whether you are a writer or a retailer — innovating through social media is crucial. Those that are hidden and guarded will not progress.

B*tch: a reflection of people’s lack of creativity & inability to acknowledge & embrace a powerful woman a woman who won’t comply.

A lot of people have the misconception that modeling is a glamourous job, and it can be. But ultimately if you don’t like to stay quiet, and let people tell you what to do, and fuss on you… it may not be the right fit. If you decide it’s something you’re really passionate about though, go for it!
Kelly Cutrone
People should just express themselves and not worry about trends - try to use fashion like a compass, an indicator, examples of things that you can be. It's not to be taken so seriously. It's just clothes.
Kelly Cutrone
I work in fashion because the world is such a heavy place that I need to be in this industry that fights for five hours to get a dress.
Kelly Cutrone
The best thing to do is just know that there's a big difference between style and fashion, and that one doesn't necessarily have anything to do with the other.
