Everyone marries the Duke of Westminster. There are a lot of duchesses, but only one Coco Chanel.
A girl should be two things: who and what she wants.
Dress shabbily and they remember the dress; dress impeccably and they remember the woman.
A woman who cuts her hair is about to change her life.
You can be gorgeous at thirty, charming at forty, and irresistible for the rest of your life.
The best colour in the whole world is the one that looks good on you.
Keep your heel, head and standards high.
Beauty begins in the moment you decide to be yourself.
If you’re sad, add more lipstick and attack. Men hate women who weep.
Don’t be like the rest of them, darling.
Nature gives you the face you have at twenty. Life shapes the face you have at thirty. But at fifty you get the face you deserve.
Dress like you are going to meet your worst enemy today.
No matter the age, a woman who is unloved is lost – unloved she might as well die.
Women hide their imperfections instead of accepting them as an added charm.
Never a button without a buttonhole.
To thyself be true;.
Always keep your head, heels, and standards high.
I am scared only of becoming bored.
Es ist besonders schwer zu schweigen, wenn man nichts zu sagen hat.
It is through work that one achieves. Manna didn’t fall on me from heaven; I moulded it with my own hands... The secret of this success is that I’ve worked terribly hard... Nothing can replace work; not securities, or nerve, or luck.
Fashion, like opportunity, is something that has to be grabbed by the hair.
