Beware originality. In women fashion originality can lead to carnival.

Fashion has become a joke. The designers have forgotten that there are women inside the dresses.

My life didn't please me, so I created my life.

I consider lace to be one of the prettiest imitations ever made of the fantasy of nature; lace always evokes for me those incomparable designs which the branches and leaves of trees embroider across the sky, and I do not think that any invention of the human spirit could have a more graceful or precise origin.

Why am I so determined to put the shoulder where it belongs? Women have very round shoulders that push forward slightly; this touches me and I say: 'One must not hide that!' Then someone tells you: 'The shoulder is on the back'. I have never seen women with shoulders on their backs.

Elegance is when the inside is as beautiful as the outside.

There are no ugly women, only lazy.
