“Chanel is composed of only a few elements, white camellias, quilted bags and Austrian doorman’s jackets, pearls, chains, shoes with black toes. I use these elements like notes to play with.”

Don’t dress to kill, dress to survive.

I hate amateurs. I hate unprofessional people. There are enough people who can do jobs decently that there’s no reason that people who cannot do them decently [should] pretend to be great at it.

EXTREME LUXURY ISN’T THE MOST BLING-BLING, IT’S EXTREME REFINEMENT, WHICH IS COUTURE AT ITS FINEST.

I like the idea of craziness with discipline.

I was never a feminist because I was never ugly enough for that.

I’m not a social person. Not that I’m not at ease. I’m pretty good, but it bores me. Not the people, but the whole thing. What for? It’s not very productive. I only want to do what I have to do: fashion, photography, books. And that’s all.

Chic is a kind of mayonnaise, either it tastes, or it doesn’t.

The French say you get hungry when you’re eating, and I get inspired when I’m working. It’s my engine.

Fashion designers are dictators of taste.

Never use the word “cheap”. Today everybody can look chic in inexpensive clothes (the rich buy them too). There is good clothing design on every level today. You can be the chicest thing in the world in a T-shirt and jeans – it’s up to you.

I have no personality, or I have three, depending on how you look at it.

I’m not an employee who goes to the office every morning at the same time. Then, vacations are needed.

I like girls to be wild but at the same time beautifully brought up and very funny.

I don’t care if people I admire criticize me because their opinion is valuable to me.

I’m a working-class person, working with class.

I’m very much down to earth, just not this earth.

It is my fondest wish that in the fullness of time, the American people will look back on the Franken presidency as something of a mixed bag and not as a complete disaster.

I bet they didn’t tell you that was in the gift bag.

I fight, knock them out, have some sex and Monday I’m back to hitting bags and kicking ass.

A structured bag, statement jewelry or a cute scarf can add polish to any outfit!

Speaking of sleeping bags, has anything ever had a less creative name?

A beautiful literary collection that tells of today’s country doctor, somewhat removed from our romantic black-bag image of days gone by, but still fulfilling an essential need in caring for spread-out populations.

We are not all connected. We are bags of skin. We are all separate bags of thinking skin.

History was a trash bag of random coincidences torn open in a wind.
