Luxury will be always around, no matter what happens in the world.

Politics are private. I don't understand people who try to convince you to join one party or another.

The little black dress must be luxurious, rich, sensual, diaphanous, exotic, severe, lush, demure, demanding, frivolous, amusing, and it must linger in memory, but above all, it must be simple and little and black.

A man has to have sensibility, wit, mystery, tolerance, and strength... Romance also helps.

I love books; my suitcases are always full of them. Books and shoes. I read when I am sad, when I am happy, when I am nervous. My favourite British author is Jane Austen, and my favourite American one is John O'Hara.

Glamour is beyond beauty and beyond age. It's like sex appeal.

I cannot go and tell women what to wear and what not to wear; you have to decide on your own.
