Beware originality. In women fashion originality can lead to carnival.
Coco Chanel
Image
All men are children, and if you understand that, a woman understands everything.
Coco Chanel
Image
It's not houses I love, it's the life I live in them.
Coco Chanel
Image
Dress shabbily and they remember the dress dress impeccably and they remember the woman.
Coco Chanel
Image
Before you leave the house, look in the mirror and remove one accessory.
Coco Chanel
Image
The worse a woman feels, the better should she look.
Coco Chanel
Image
There is nothing more comfortable than a caterpillar and nothing more made for love than a butterfly. We need dresses that crawl and dresses that fly. Fashion is at once a caterpillar and a butterfly, caterpillar by day, butterfly by night.
Coco Chanel
Image
True elegance consists not in having a closet bursting with clothes, but rather in having a few well-chosen numbers in which one feels totally at ease.
Coco Chanel
Image
Coquetry, it's a triumph of the spirit over the senses.
Coco Chanel
Image
Luxury must be comfortable, otherwise it is not luxury.
Coco Chanel
Image
A style does not go out of style as long as it adapts itself to its period. When there is an incompatibility between the style and a certain state of mind, it is never the style that triumphs.
Coco Chanel
Image
I love luxury. And luxury lies not in richness and ornateness but in the absence of vulgarity. Vulgarity is the ugliest word in our language. I stay in the game to fight it.
Coco Chanel
Image
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
I invented my life because I wasn't pleased with it.
Coco Chanel
Image
Material things aside, we need not advice but approval.
Coco Chanel
Image
Caring about beauty, it is necessary to start with the heart and soul, otherwise no makeup will not help.
Coco Chanel
Image
I am no longer what I was. I will remain what I have become.
Coco Chanel
Image
I am neither in the past, nor avant-garde. My style follows life.
Coco Chanel
Image
Why am I so determined to put the shoulder where it belongs? Women have very round shoulders that push forward slightly this touches me and I say: 'One must not hide that!' Then someone tells you: 'The shoulder is on the back'. I have never seen women with shoulders on their backs.
Coco Chanel

There is no time for cut-and-dried monotony. There is time for work. And time for love. That leaves no other time!
