“You must, if it's possible, be born with a kind of elegance. It's part...” — Hubert de Givenchy Quote

“You must, if it's possible, be born with a kind of elegance. It's part of you, of yourself.”

“Balenciaga taught me everything I know. He taught me to care for the details, that it was not necessary to sew on a button where it had no use or to add a flower to make a dress beautiful... no unnecessary detail.”

“In the early '50s, it was still the time of Christian Dior's New Look. Every dress was big and important, and I thought I must do something completely different. Women needed something for daytime that was wearable.”

“True icons are larger than life, unforgettable with an elegance that's mesmerizingly timeless.”

“I remember touring the Medici palace in Florence when I was younger and I was entranced by the beauty and elegance of every space.”

“There will always be a desire for something new, fresh and innovative, as well as a yearning and respect for timeless elegance and beauty.”
