Quotations

A fashion that does not reach the streets is not a fashion.

A girl should be two things: classy and fabulous.

A style does not go out of style as long as it adapts itself to its period. When there is an incompatibility between the style and a certain state of mind, it is never the style that triumphs.

A woman has the age she deserves.

A woman is closest to being naked when she is well dressed.

As long as you know men are like children, you know everything.

Don't spend time beating on a wall, hoping to transform it into a door.

Dress sharply and they'll remember the outfit; dress impeccably and they'll remember the woman.

Elegance does not consist in putting on a new dress.

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