Some of my favorite Coco Chanel quotes are:
A girl should be two things: classy and fabulous.
A women who doesn't wear perfume has no future.
Elegance does not consist in putting on a new dress.
Fashion fades, only style remains the same.
Fashion is architecture: it is a matter of proportions.
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.
In order to be irreplaceable one must always be different.
Luxury must be comfortable, otherwise it is not luxury.
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.
I adore Chanel not only because of her fashion prowess but also because of her strong personality. More than that, she incorporates her life on all her creations. Almost all her creations has their own story.
I read books and articles about her and watched the movie Coco Before Chanel.
Though I may not dress up like her, I learned from her how to become confident and how to be yourself.
Of all her quotes, the most important thing that a girl should know is that she "...should be two things: classy and fabulous". A girl should always be level-headed, mature, professional and with poise and grace. If she does not have a good life, she should focus on getting one rather than destroying other people's life. She should be confident and not be dependent on what others will say.
bisou bisou!
