My favourite quotes from Coco Chanel

“A girl should be two things: classy and fabulous.”

“Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening.”

 
 “Luxury must be comfortable, otherwise it is not luxury.”

“There are people who have money and people who are rich.”

 “I invented my life by taking for granted that everything I did not like would have an opposite, which I would like.”

“Elegance does not consist in putting on a new dress.”

“A style does not go out of style as long as it adapts itself to its period. When there is an incompatibility between the style and a certain state of mind, it is never the style that triumphs.”

 

“I love luxury. And luxury lies not in richness and ornateness but in the absence of vulgarity. Vulgarity is the ugliest word in our language. I stay in the game to fight it.”

“It is the unseen, unforgettable, ultimate accessory of fashion that heralds your arrival and prolongs your departure.”
