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.

That's what fame is: solitude.

Women must tell men always that they are the strong ones. They are the big, the strong, the wonderful. In truth, women are the strong ones. It is just my opinion, I am not a professor.

I stood up for myself as I always have done. Nobody has ever told Coco Chanel what to think.

I don't care what you think about me. I don't think about you at all.

A women who doesn't wear perfume has no future.

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