Bruce Oldfield Quotations

I mean, you can't walk down the aisle in Westminster Abbey in a strapless dress, it just won't happen - it has to suit the grandeur of that aisle, it's enormous.

I'm not that interested in fashion... When someone says that lime-green is the new black for this season, you just want to tell them to get a life.

That to me was the most poignant part of Diana's wedding; as she was walking up the aisle and her eyes were going left to right, looking at people and smiling in the way that Diana did - and that diamond tiara glittering like mad. It was great.

We're into Nicole Kidmans, rather than the young girl who just got married in a tracksuit.

Don't be limited by the expectations of others. You can always be better and do more.

The bump I was trying to hide could be the future king of England.

If someone's got good, clean skin, with not too much make-up on, and good, clean hair that's bouncy, and the nails are clean and not overly done, then you can put anything on her and she's going to look good.

I don't have regrets because they are negative.

I've generally got a good eye for design and proportion.

Never cut corners, or accept anything that's second-rate.

My aim is to make you look the best you can and if that means a little bit of internal pulling and hoisting up, then so be it.

I can think of a lot of women clients of mine who are well into their 50s or 60s who are still quintessentially very elegant.

I keep on working when other people are out having fun. But I love what I do and find it hard to stop.

I come from very humble origins, so the last thing I would ever do is to look down my nose at people who can't afford to come here to my shop.

I was getting a lot of editorial, as in lots of pages in 'Vogue,' but it's far more important to get your dresses on the back of a famous person. Charlotte Rampling in Bruce Oldfield. That sells.

Stay small and control it yourself.

Don't take things too seriously.

Fashion is more usually a gentle progression of revisited ideas.
