Disregarding the fact that I am old enough to be [Walter] Schellenberg's mother, I would feel nauseated to be coupled with a man whose ideology has debased our hearts.
Coco Chanel
Image
Dress shabbily and they remember the dress dress impeccably and they remember the woman.
Coco Chanel
Image
Fashion passes, but style remains.
Coco Chanel
Image
If a woman is poorly dressed, you notice her dress. If a woman is impeccably dressed, you notice the woman.
