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

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

“A woman can be over dressed but never over elegant.”

“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.”

“Elegance does not consist in putting on a new 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”

“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.”
