Coco Chanel quotes about
Fashion is everything that can pass fashionable
Arrogance is in everything I do. It is in my gestures, the harshness of my voice, in the glow of my gaze, in my sinewy, tormented face.

A well dressed man is a best accessory a woman can have
"Where should I apply Perfume?" a young lady asked. "Where you want to be kissed."
Modesty is the highest elegance
When I can no longer create anything, I'll be done for.
I'm for style - fashions change too often.
Only those with no memory insist on their originality.
Fashion comes and goes but style lasts forever

Before me no one would have dared dress in black
