Coco Chanel quotes about
Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only
Ask me who I don't dress!
If I cut my hair, others did. If I shortened my dresses, so did everyone else.
If a woman is poorly dressed, you notice her dress. If a woman is impeccably dressed, you notice the woman.
Before me no one would have dared dress in black
God knows I wanted love... but the moment I had to choose between the man I loved and my dresses... I chose the dresses
Scheherezade is easy; a little black dress is difficult.
A dress made right should allow one to walk, to dance, even to ride horseback.
The best color in the whole world, is the one that looks good, on you!
There is time for work, and time for love. That leaves no other time
There is time for work. And there is time for love. That leaves no other time.
I don't know why women want any of the things men have when one of the things that women have is men.
There is a time for work and a time for love. That leaves no other time.
I have steadfastly refused to make concessions that would undermine my ideals.
