Elegance is innate. It has nothing to do with being well dressed. Elegance is refusal.

Red is the great clarifier - bright and revealing. I can't imagine becoming bored with red - it would be like becoming bored with the person you love.

Blue jeans are the most beautiful things since the gondola.

Parents, you know, can be terrible.

Pink is the navy blue of India.

I loathe narcissism, but I approve of vanity.

Balenciaga did the most delicious evening clothes. Clothes aren't delicious any more.

What do I think about the way most people dress? Most people are not something one thinks about.

The body must stay fit. Fit people like themselves much better.

The bikini is the most important thing since the atom bomb.

No one cuts backs like he did. No one knows what a back is anymore.

In a Balenciaga you were the only woman in the room - no other woman existed.

The only real elegance is in the mind; if you've got that, the rest really comes from it.

I always wear my sweater back-to-front; it is so much more flattering.

You don't have to be born beautiful to be wildly attractive.

Exaggeration is my only reality.

Poor, darling fellow - he died of food. He was killed by the dinner table.
