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

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

“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.”

“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.”

“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”
