The classy and fabulous Coco Chanel

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.

In order to be irreplaceable one must always be different.

The best colour in the whole world is the one that looks good on you.

A girl should be two things: classy and fabulous.

As long as you know men are like children, you know everything!

Elegance does not consist in putting on a new dress.

You can be gorgeous at thirty, charmimg at forty, and irresistible for the rest of your life.

Great loves too must be endured.

Look for the woman in the dress. If there is no woman, there is no dress.

Luxury must be comfortable, otherwise it is not luxury.

I don't understand how a woman can leave the house without fixing herself up a little - if only out of politeness. And then, you never know, maybe that's the day she has a date with destiny. And it's best to be as pretty as possible for destiny.

"Where should one use perfume?" a young woman asked. "Wherever one wants to be kissed.”

There are people who have money and people who are rich.

Simplicity is the keynote of all true elegance.

It’s probably not just by chance that I’m alone. It would be very hard for a man to live with me, unless he’s terribly strong. And if he’s stronger than I, I’m the one who can’t live with him. … I’m neither smart nor stupid, but I don’t think I’m a run-of-the-mill person. I’ve been in business without being a businesswoman, I’ve loved without being a woman made only for love. The two men I’ve loved, I think, will remember me, on earth or in heaven, because men always remember a woman who caused them concern and uneasiness. I’ve done my best, in regard to people and to life, without precepts, but with a taste for justice.

Women must tell men always that they are the strong ones. They are the big, the strong, the wonderful. In truth, women are the strong ones. It is just my opinion, I am not a professor.

How many cares one loses when one decides not to be something, but to be someone.

I am not young, but I feel young. The day I feel old, I will go to bed and stay there. J'aime la vie! I feel that to live is a wonderful thing.


I don't do fashion, I AM fashion.

Va recomand cu placere un film despre fabuloasa icoana a artelor Coco Chanel, jucata mai putin reusit la tinerete de o actrita slovaca, dar magistral in anii din urma, de madame Shirley MacLaine.
