Nothings makes a woman look older that a rich costume.

The hat is not for the street: it will never be democratized. But there are certain houses that one cannot enter without a hat. And one must always wear a hat when lunching with people whom one does not know well. One appears to one's best advantage.

True elegance consists not in having a closet bursting with clothes, but rather in having a few well-chosen numbers in which one feels totally at ease.

The worse a woman feels, the better should she look.

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

It is always better to be slightly underdressed.

If I cut my hair, others did. If I shortened my dresses, so did everyone else.
