Coco Chanel

Since everything is in our heads, we had better not lose them.

Hard times arouse an instinctive desire for authenticity.

Success is often achieved by those who don't know that failure is inevitable.

You can be gorgeous at thirty, charming at forty, and irresistible for the rest of your life.

Elegance does not consist in putting on a new dress.

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

As soon as you set foot on a yacht you belong to some man, not to yourself, and you die of boredom.

It is the unseen, unforgettable, ultimate accessory of fashion that heralds your arrival and prolongs your departure.

God knows I wanted love... but the moment I had to choose between the man I loved and my dresses... I chose the dresses

I never wanted to weigh more heavily on a man than a bird.

Fashion is in the sky, the streets, fashion has to do with ideas, the way in which we live, the events surrounding us.

A woman is only as good as the peace and light she radiates.

Nothing goes out of fashion sooner than a long dress with a very low neck.

Elegance means being beautiful both on the inside and out.

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

Fashion has become a joke. The designers have forgotten that there are women inside the dresses.

I like fashion to go down to the street, but I can't accept that it should originate there.

Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening.

The poetry of fashion lies in the creation of illusion

Fashion comes and goes but style lasts forever

I don't understand how a woman can leave the house without fixing herself up a little - if only out of politeness. And then, you never know, maybe that's the day she has a date with destiny. And it's best to be as pretty as possible for destiny.
