My favorite part about costume designing is the artistry of the job. You meet with a director and a visionary to discuss ideas.

I mean, a lot of people don't realize it, but fashion is one of the most racial industries left out there now. Radio and music aren't. Television and movies aren't.

You think there would be some, because the consumer is of all colors and all shades. But you don't see that in fashion. — Tyson Beckford

I like 'em. $309. — Ron White

I think television is one of the last real bastions of the white beauty standard, but still in many industries the workers can be replaced by someone who's willing to play the game or who looks like the person in charge. And this is a problem for all women, not just women of color. — Jami Floyd

Charred bits of black silk swirl into the air, and pearls clatter to the stage… I’m in a dress of the exact design of my wedding dress, only it’s the color of coal and made of tiny feathers.

Or should I say my wings. Because Cinna had turned me into a mockingjay. — Suzanne Collins
