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

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.

Black and white might be sufficient. But why deprive yourself of color.

Finally, everything that has been part of my life, whether I wanted it to or not, has expressed itself in my dresses.

It is unforgiveable to do what one doesn't love especially if one succeeds.

Bright reds - scarlet, pillar-box red, crimson or cherry - are very cheerful and youthful. There is certainly a red for everyone.

Of the women in my childhood, I retain above all the memory of their perfumes, perfumes that lingered - filling the lift with fragrance long after they had gone.
