“Luxury is what can not be seen.”

“Jewels should be viewed with innocence, with naiveté, as one would enjoy apple blossoms by the roadside as you speed past in a car.”

“Innovation! One cannot be forever innovating. I want to create classics.”

“Elegance does not consist in putting on a new dress.”

“In order to be irreplaceable one must always be different.”

“A woman is closest to being naked when she is well dressed”

“Luxury must be comfortable, otherwise it is not luxury.”

“Fashion is architecture: it is a matter of proportions.”

“Fashion has become a joke. The designers have forgotten that there are women inside the dresses. Most women dress for men and want to be admired. But they must also be able to move, to get into a car without bursting their seams! Clothes must have a natural shape.”

“A style does not go out of style as long as it adapts itself to its period. When there is an incompatibility between the style and a certain state of mind, it is never the style that triumphs.”
