1. “In order to be irreplaceable, you must always be different.”

2. “Fashion is not just a matter of clothing. Fashion is in the air, it is brought by the wind. Everyone anticipates it, breathes it. She is both in the sky and on the road.”

3. “Nature gives you the face you have at twenty. Life shapes the face you have at thirty. But at fifty you get the face you deserve.”

4. “Fashion passes, but style remains.”

5. “Where should perfume be applied?” - a young woman once asked me. “Wherever you want a man to kiss you,” I said.”

6. “When taking care of beauty, you must start with the heart and soul, otherwise no amount of cosmetics will help.”

7. “Dress poorly and they will remember your clothes; dress impeccably and they will remember the woman.”

8. “I don’t understand how a woman can leave the house without cleaning herself up - at least out of politeness. And then, you never know, maybe on this day you will meet your destiny. So it’s better to be as perfect as possible to meet fate.”

9. “There is no time for boredom and monotony. There is time for work. And there is a time for love."

10. “It’s easy to dress like Scheherazade, but it’s hard to find a little black dress.”

11. “Elegance is not the prerogative of the youth, it is the prerogative of those who hold their future in their hands.”

12. “If a man speaks ill of all women, it usually means that he was burned by one of them.”

The most famous phrases spoken by Coco Chanel have gone down in history and are relevant at all times.

Where to apply perfume?
-Where do you want to be kissed?

There is a moment when you shouldn’t touch a work of art anymore - this is when you can’t make it worse.

It is impossible to be innovative all the time. I want to create classics!

At twenty you have the face that nature gave you;
- At thirty you have the face that life has sculpted for you;
- And at fifty you have the face you deserve.

Your face at twenty years old was given to you by nature; what it will be like at fifty depends on you.

Everything is in our hands, so they can not be omitted.

They say that women dress for the sake of women, that they are inspired by the spirit of competition. This is true. But if there were no more men left in the world, they would stop dressing.

Be a caterpillar during the day and a butterfly in the evening. There is nothing more convenient than the form of a caterpillar, and no form is more suitable for love than the form of a butterfly. Women need creeping dresses and flying dresses. The butterfly does not go to the market, and the caterpillar does not go to the ball.

Jewelry is a whole science! Beauty is a formidable weapon! Modesty is the height of elegance!

If you are struck by the beauty of a woman, but you cannot remember what she was wearing, it means she was dressed perfectly.

If you were born without wings, don't try to stop them from growing.

If a woman cheats, there is no need to look for reasonable reasons: it’s not all about the mind, but about feelings.

There is a time to work, and there is a time to love. There is no other time left.

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

Women, as a rule, choose a nightgown for themselves much more carefully than a husband.

Living things cannot be ugly.

You pay for love in installments, and most of the time, alas, when the love is already over.

You can still get used to ugliness, but never to sloppiness!

Every woman has the age she deserves.

As it has been rightly said... It is impossible to wear a lot of real jewelry if there are no women around wearing fake ones.

A beautiful dress may look nice on a hanger, but it doesn't mean anything. A dress must be judged when it is on a woman, when the woman moves her arms, legs, bends her waist.

We need beauty to be loved by men; and stupidity - so that we love men.

I don't care what you think about me. I don't think about you at all.

Fashion is always a reflection of the era, but if it is stupid fashion, it is forgotten.

Fashion that can only be seen in living rooms is not fashion, but a costume ball.

Fashion cannot be called fashion if it is not worn on the street.

True generosity is when ingratitude is forgiven.

Our homes are our prisons; but we will find freedom in them if we can decorate them at our discretion.

I don’t know why women demand everything that men have. After all, women, among other things, have men.

Nothing makes a woman look older than an overly rich suit.

One day I made sketches of jewelry. Sam saw them and said: “Now we have started making imitation fakes.”

I once heard an old dressmaker say to a young seamstress: “There can’t be a button without a buttonhole.” This wonderful and concise formula can become the motto of a couturier, but also of an architect, a composer, and a painter.

Beware of originality; in women's fashion, originality can lead to masquerade.

Old age does not protect from love, but love protects from old age.

Saint Laurent has amazing taste. The more he imitates me, the better taste he discovers.

Convenience takes certain forms. Love takes on certain colors. The skirt is designed to allow you to cross your legs, and the armhole is designed to allow you to cross your arms over your chest.

An elegant woman should go to the market so that housewives do not laugh at her. Those who laugh in such cases are always right...

I love it when fashion goes out into the streets, but I don’t allow it to come from there. (Internet... publications)
