Coco Chanel

Elegance comes from being as beautiful inside as outside.

The best things in life are free. The second best things are very, very expensive.

Fashion passes, but style remains.

In 1919 I woke up famous. I'd never guessed it. If I'd known I was famous, I'd have stolen away and wept. I was stupid. I was supposed to be intelligent. I was sensitive and very dumb.

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.

I imposed black; it still going strong today, for black wipes out everything else around

I don't do fashion, I AM fashion.

Passion goes, Boredom remains.

Luxury lies not in the richness of things, but in the absence of vulgarity

Only those with no memory insist on their originality.

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

Women have always been the strong ones of the world.

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.

Great loves too must be endured.

It's not houses I love, it's the life I live in them.

Wear perfume wherever you want to be kissed!

Modesty is the highest elegance

Fashion is in the sky, in the street.

Fashion is everything that can pass fashionable

If you are sad, if you are heartbroken, make yourself up, dress up, add more lipstick and attack.

An interior is the natural projection of the soul.
