The French legend is a very simple one. All really beautiful clothes are designed in the houses of the French couturiers and all women want those clothes.

It was my idea that if you started any kind of business, you should begin somewhere near where you hoped to end. In other words, if I wanted to make really good clothes to order, I would start out making good, and therefore expensive, clothes to order. If I started making inexpensive clothes, I thought probably I'd die making them.

Style doesn't change every month or every year. It only changes as often as there is a real change in the point of view and lives of the people for whom it is produced.

If you feel like getting a divorce, you are no exception to the general rule.

being chic not only takes a great deal of money but an enormous amount of time. It practically precludes everything else, even being on charity committees. Half of one's time goes getting chic, the other half being seen that way.

After marriage, all things change. And one of them better be you.

All one really requires for putting anything over is enough energy and resistance to keep on plugging the idea. Someone will eventually fall.
