“Finally, everything that has been part of my life, whether I wanted it...” — Christian Dior Quote

“Finally, everything that has been part of my life, whether I wanted it to or not, has expressed itself in my dresses.”

“Colour is what gives jewels their worth. They light up and enhance the face. Nothing is more elegant than a black skirt and sweater worn with a sparkling multi-stoned necklace.”

“Haute couture is like an orchestra, for which only Balenciaga is the conductor. The rest of us are just musicians, following the directions he gives us.”

“I sometimes wish that 21st century women could wear skirts and dresses every day without looking overdressed.”

“I always look forward to the holidays because I love dressing up in festive, shimmery evening dresses.”

“I used to spend my nights oversewing dresses for a local dressmaker in order to pay for my school equipment.”
