simplicity is the key of elegance

"Where should I apply Perfume?" a young lady asked. "Where you want to be kissed."

A woman's education consists of two lessons: never leave the house without stocking, never go out without a hat.

I remember confuting one of Westminster's favourite maxims, "better the devil you know than the devil you don't". In the annals of popular wisdom, this is one of the most cretinous sayings I have come across.

There is nothing more comfortable than a caterpillar and nothing more made for love than a butterfly. We need dresses that crawl and dresses that fly. Fashion is at once a caterpillar and a butterfly, caterpillar by day, butterfly by night.

I set the fashion for a quater of a century. Why? Because i knew how to express my own time.

I am no longer what I was. I will remain what I have become.
