fashion ifs
If it's not there in fashion, fantasize it,
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.
thinking reality imagination
I think your imagination is your reality
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.
mean passion fire
You know the greatest thing is passion, without it what have you got? I mean if you love someone you can love them as much as you can love them but if it isn’t a passion, it isn’t burning, it isn’t on fire, you haven’t lived.
blue navy india
Pink is the navy blue of India.
fashion vanity narcissism
I loathe narcissism, but I approve of vanity.
fashion editors
I wasn't a fashion editor. I was the one and only fashion editor.
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 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.
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.
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.
fashion style originality
Style; all who have it have have one thing: originality.
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?
