fashion heart desire
Many faux pas of fashion can be avoided if you curb your instinctive desire to buy things with your heart instead of your head.
growing today thanks
Growing old gracefully used to begin at about 35, but today women prefer to 'stay young gratefully' with thanks to designers, beauticians and plastic surgeons.
stars white mirrors
I always wear beige, black or white. For one thing I look good in them. For another, when I'm beside a star at a fitting, and she looks into the mirror, I don't want to be competing in any way.
clothes use shapes
If you hunger for certain types of clothes, for which you have little use, put yourself on a diet. Just as you resist too much whipped cream and French pastry to keep your figure in shape, you can say no to those yearned-for but unneeded purchases that lead to a wardrobe that is shapeless and without form.
stars animal grace
I've dressed thousands of actors, actresses and animals, but whenever I am asked which star is my personal favorite, I answer, 'Grace Kelly.' She is a charming lady, a most gifted actress and, to me, a valued friend.
clothes actors motto
My motto is that the audience should notice the actors, not the clothes.
depressing musical today
We don't make glamorous movies today. Everything now is very realistic, artistic - and depressing. When is the last time you you saw a wonderful musical or a fabulous fantasy?
thinking clothes way
Clothes are the way you present yourself to the world; they affect the way the world feels and thinks about you; subconsciously they affect the way you feel and think about yourself.
clothes sin cardinals
The cardinal sin is not being badly dressed, but wearing the right thing in the wrong place.
men clothes dresses
many women dress for men before marriage, and for women after marriage ...
men two world
Just imagine dressing the two handsomest men in the world, and then getting this!
beautiful legs looks
Even the most beautiful legs - Marlene Dietrich's, for instance - look better when the kneecap is covered.
years ideas costumes
Couture has copied my things for years, in addition to countless other costume designers, claiming theirs were the original ideas. It's all part of the business, unfortunately.
fashion past west
There are three fashion periods: the past, the present and Mae West.
