“A beautiful dress may look beautiful on a hanger, but that means nothing. It must be seen on the shoulders, with the movement of the arms, the legs, and the waist.”

“Look for the woman in the dress. If there is no woman, there is no dress.”

“There is nothing more comfortable than a caterpillar and nothing more made for love than a butterfly. We need dresses that crawl and dresses that fly. Fashion is at once a captapillar and a butterfly, caterpillar by day, butterfly by night”

“Adornment, what a science! Beauty, what a weapon! Modesty, what elegance!”

“Fashion has two purposes: comfort and love. Beauty comes when fashion succeeds.”

“Dress shabbily and they remember the dress; dress impeccably and they remember the woman.”

“Women think of all colors except the absence of color. I have said that black has it all. White too. Their beauty is absolute. It is the perfect harmony.”
