The only queen I ever dressed was Eva Perón.

A dress is a piece of ephemeral architecture, designed to enhance the proportions of the female body.

There is certainly a red for everyone.

Black is the most slimming of all Colors. It is the most flattering. You can wear black at any Time. You can wear it at any age. You can wear it for almost any occasion. I could write a book about black.

Grooming is the secret of real elegance. The best clothes, the most wonderful jewels, the most glamorous beauty don't count without good grooming.

Zest is the secret of all beauty. There is no beauty that is attractive without zest.

In a machine age, dressmaking is one of the last refuges of the human, the personal, the inimitable.
