“Simplicity is the keynote of all true elegance.”

“Elegance is refusal.”

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

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

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

“Elegance is not the prerogative of those who have just escaped from adolescence, but of those who have already taken possession of their future.”

“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.”
