There are no ugly women, only lazy.
I invented my life by taking for granted that everything I did not like would have an opposite, which I would like.
He who does not enjoy his own company is usually right.
Some people think luxury is the opposite of poverty. It is not. It is the opposite of vulgarity.
Innovation! One cannot be forever innovating. I want to create classics
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.

I wanted to give a woman comfortable clothes that would flow with her body. A woman is closest to being naked when she is well-dressed.
Hard times arouse an instinctive desire for authenticity.
It is always better to be slightly underdressed.
Women think of all colors except the absence of color. I have said that black has it all. White too. Their beauty is absolute. It is the perfect harmony.
How many cares one loses when one decides not to be something but to be someone.
Elegance is refusal.
