Eliot Sumner Quotes

My style is constantly evolving. Style has been something that I think has been the hardest thing for me to come to terms with.

I watch clothes on other people, and it's like having a conversation before opening your mouth. For me, clothes come from the mind. They represent what's happening inside, and as long as they feel honestly like what I'm thinking about and going toward, I'm happy to bounce around and experience different things.

Whatever I put on - if I'm feeling trendy or if I'm feeling sexy - my clothes definitely represent who I am at the time.

I don't like people to feel completely described by the clothes they wear of mine. I want them to feel that they're describing themselves.

I know what my sound is. I'm just trying to get it out there how I can explain it. I'm not trying to write or put out some music that doesn't represent me.

The whole point in developing your own style is to find your own voice.

I'm not hip-hop. I'm Tyler.

I think that I've just kind of found my niche, if that makes sense. I still write the same, but I feel like I've found what separates me, and I always try to stay in that when I write. It took me a long time to discover that, so I try to be protective.

Our fashion for us, it's an expression; first of all of life, I put all of myself in my fashion. Sometimes it's good, sometimes it's bad, but this is a mirror, an expression about Domenico and Stefano. It's not just a profession: it's a person with a lot of personality.

It's about being creative and drawing on who you are when you wake up, and expressing yourself through fashion.

Fashion is one of those places in which, when you're wearing something that feels like a representation of you, it does create, in a matter of speaking, a space for you to exist. Even if it's just in a two-inch radius of where you are. It's a walking, personalized area in which you can live.

I just tried to be an artist in my own metier.

I felt that pop music didn't represent me. And that's why I made my own.

Music, or the type of music that I'm writing, is very personal.

Knowing that your sense of fashion and the culture it's connected to is valid really makes it a stronger thing for you.

For me, just as a social recorder of 2016, there's a new girl that emerged that can shop in between Zara and designer and still maintain a sense of her personality and identity.

When I started out, the idea of wearing interesting clothes seemed to contradict the idea of being a serious artist. The first Moloko record, 'Do You Like My Tight Sweater?' was kind of a reaction to all that.

Makeup and fashion are a very blatant way of expressing who you are because it's the first thing people see. With music, it's more personal, where people really are trying to get into your head and learn about who you are.

My parents are both very stylish, so they always encouraged me to explore when it came to personal style. I went through a lot of crazy phases, and I'm still finding myself.

I was the one who changed, it wasn't fashion. I was the one who was in fashion.

Fashion has to reflect who you are, what you feel at the moment, and where you're going.

I think dressing nowadays went from trying to fit in to wearing something to try to stick out.

I can say this much with confidence - that I now have a sound of my own

Fashion is only different skins for different flavours of you.

For me, fashion is an expression of who I am right in that moment - so what you're seeing is what I'm influenced by now.
