After women, flowers are the most lovely thing God has given the world.
From Christian Dior
We were emerging from the period of war, of uniforms, of women-soldiers built like boxers. I drew women-flowers, soft shoulders, fine waists like liana and wide skirts like corolla.
The tones of gray, pale turquoise and pink will prevail.
Zest is the secret of all beauty. There is no beauty that is attractive without zest.
My dream is to save women from nature.
Women, with their sure instincts, realized that my intention was to make them not just more beautiful but also happier.
In a machine age, dressmaking is one of the last refuges of the human, the personal, the inimitable.
Colour is what gives jewels their worth. They light up and enhance the face. Nothing is more elegant than a black skirt and sweater worn with a sparkling multi-stoned necklace.
A dress is a piece of ephemeral architecture, designed to enhance the proportions of the female body.
I wanted to be considered a good craftsman. I wanted my dresses to be constructed like buildings, molded to the curves of the female form, stylizing its shape.
