Coco Quotables


“I don't understand how a woman can leave the house without fixing herself up a little - if only out of politeness. And then, you never know, maybe that's the day she has a date with destiny. And it's best to be as pretty as possible for destiny.”


“Elegance is not the prerogative of those who have just escaped from adolescence, but of those who have already taken possession of their future.”


 “How many cares one loses when one decides not to be something, but has to be someone”


“Look for the woman in the dress. If there is no woman, there is no dress.”


“Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening.”


"The most courageous act is still to think for yourself. Aloud.”


“In order to be irreplaceable one must always be different.”


"Fashion fades, only style remains the same.”
