I spent my life making fashion an art form.

So perverse is mankind that every nationality prefers to be misgoverned by its own people than to be well ruled by another

It is intolerable that it should be in the power of one blockhead to do so much mischief.

You should know that my most important contribution was always in tailoring; coats, jackets, wool dresses… so few of which went into the magazines.

I recognize that virtually every company that comes in here has a perspective. It's often not difficult to understand why they have the perspective that they have.

In fashion even what seems most fragile must be built on cement.

True humanity consists not in a squeamish ear; it consists not in starting or shrinking at tales of misery, but in a disposition of heart to relieve it. True humanity appertains rather to the mind than to the nerves, and prompts men to use real and active endeavors to execute the actions which it suggests.
