"Fashions fade, style is eternal."

"Dressing is a way of life."

"Over the years I have learned that what is important in a dress is the woman who is wearing it."

"Isn't elegance forgetting what one is wearing?"

"I want to thank all the women who have worn my clothes, the famous and the unknown, who have been so faithful to me and given me so much joy."

"I wish I had invented blue jeans. They have expression, modesty, sex appeal, simplicity - all I hope for in my clothes."

"A good model can advance fashion by ten years."

"We must never confuse elegance with snobbery."

"It pains me physically to see a woman victimized, rendered pathetic, by fashion."

"I have often said that I wish I had invented blue jeans: the most spectacular, the most practical, the most relaxed and nonchalant. They have expression, modesty, sex appeal, simplicity - all I hope for in my clothes."
