people
The only thing people are interested in is people.
gay glasses color
Why don't you have a room done up in every color green? This will take months, years, to collect, but it will be delightful-a melange of plants, green glass, green porcelains, and furniture covered in sad greens, gay greens, clear, faded, and poison greens?
fashion style originality
Style; all who have it have have one thing: originality.
things-in-life shame perfume
This is a great shame, but of course there have to be some things in life that not everybody can have, and great perfume is one of them.
paris clothes mad
Naturally, I’ve always been mad about clothes. You don’t get born in Paris to forget about clothes for a minute.
fashion littles tailors
I always say I hope to God I die in a town with a good tailor, a good shoemaker, and perhaps someone who's interested in a little quelque chose d'autre.
rain cleansing calming
One thing I hold against Americans is that they have no flair for the rain. They seem unsettled by it; it’s against them: they take it as an assault, an inconvenience! But rain is so wonderfully cleansing, so refreshing, so calming...
fashion years luxury
I was always fascinated by the absurdities and luxuries and the snobbism of the world that fashion magazines showed. Of course, it’s not for everyone...But I lived in that world, not only during my years in the magazines business but for years before, because I was always of that world-- at least in my imagination.
fashion editors
I wasn't a fashion editor. I was the one and only fashion editor.
fashion vanity narcissism
I loathe narcissism, but I approve of vanity.
jobs thinking views
I think part of my success as an editor came from never worrying about a fact, a cause, an atmosphere. It was me—projecting to the public. That was my job. I think I always had a perfectly clear view of what was possible for the public. Give ‘em what they never knew they wanted.
fashion ifs
If it's not there in fashion, fantasize it,
thinking reality imagination
I think your imagination is your reality
buddhist children color
All my life I’ve pursued the perfect red. I can never get painters to mix it for me. It’s exactly as if I’d said, ‘I want rococo with a spot of Gothic in it and a bit of Buddhist temple’—they have no idea what I’m talking about. About the best red is to copy the color of a child’s cap in any Renaissance portrait.
