Women have always been the strong ones of the world.

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

Elegance means being beautiful both on the inside and out.

I wanted to give a woman comfortable clothes that would flow with her body. A woman is closest to being naked when she is well-dressed.

I am not young but I feel young. The day I feel old, I will go to bed and stay there. J'aime la vie! I feel that to live is a wonderful thing.

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

All men are children, and if you understand that, a woman understands everything.
