"Fashion is a party. When you go to a party, you don't want to see a lot of other people wearing exactly the same thing."
"Look how ridiculous these women are, wearing clothes by a man who doesn't know women, never had one, and dreams of being one."
"I gave women a sense of freedom. I gave them back their bodies: bodies that were drenched in sweat, due to the corsets and underwear, the frills, the lace, the trimmings."
"One shouldn't spend all one's time dressing. All one needs are two or three suits, as long as they and everything to go with them are perfect."
"There are only three important women in the world, not more."
