The problem of aging is the problem of living. There is no simple solution.
I don't do fashion, I'm fashion
Jump out the window if you are the object of passion. Flee it if you feel it. Passion goes, boredom remains.
It's not the rooms, it's the life you live in them
Fashion has become a joke. The designers have forgotten that there are women inside the dresses. Most women dress for men and want to be admired. But they must also be able to move, to get into a car without bursting their seams! Clothes must have a natural shape.

A dress made right should allow one to walk, to dance, even to ride horseback.
The best things in life are free. The second best things are very, very expensive.

Scheherezade is easy; a little black dress is difficult.
The age of a woman is not important: you can be wonderful in your 20's, amazing in your 40's and stay fabulous for the rest of your life.
The right ingredients can create a legend.
There is nothing worse than solitude. Solitude can help a man realize himself; but it destroys a woman
A woman without perfume is a woman without a future.
