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

Fashion changes, Style remains
Interpretation
Fashion is temporary, but true style is enduring.
This quote by Coco Chanel emphasizes the distinction between fashion and style, suggesting that while fashion trends may come and go, one's personal style is a lasting representation of individuality and self-expression. It encourages people to find and embrace their own style rather than merely following fleeting trends.
In practice
A fashion designer might use this quote during a presentation about the importance of personal style.
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.
When I started Giorgio Armani in the mid-'70s, I realized that women needed a way to dress that was equivalent to that of men - something that would give them dignity, an attitude that would help them handle their work life.

I want to make beautiful clothes for women and men who appreciate detail and quality. The product must be the best but this is almost secondary to the service the customer will receive.
When you're young, you think that clothes are almost magical, and that if you wear the right thing - to school, to the prom, on the date, etc. - something's going to happen. Black, it's the anti-magical thing. It comes from the recognition that it is not going to be 'the' dress.
