Coco Chanel & Elegance
- A woman has the age she deserves.
- There is no time for cut-and-dried monotony. There is time for work. And time for love. That leaves no other time!
- 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.
- Elegance is refusal.
- 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.
- Fashion fades, only style remains the same.
- Look for the woman in the dress. If there is no woman, there is no dress.
- Some people think luxury is the opposite of poverty. It is not. It is the opposite of vulgarity. Luxury must be comfortable, otherwise it is not luxury.
- Hard times arouse an instinctive desire for authenticity.
- Since everything is in our heads, we had better not lose them
- In order to be irreplaceable one must always be different.
- There are people who have money and people who are rich.
by Gabrielle Bonheur “Coco” Chanel (19 August 1883 – 10 January 1971), a pioneering French fashion designer
