A friend of mine forwarded me this great clip of a Coco Chanel (1883-1971) interview, that I felt compelled to pass on (though only those of us who speak French will truly appreciate it ;) This amazing Lady revolutionized fashion as we know it, and was a true original. Some of her quotes:
“Fashion fades, only style remains the same.”
“The most courageous act is still to think for yourself. Aloud.”
“Nature gives you the face you have at twenty; it is up to you to merit the face you have at fifty”
“How many cares one loses when one decides not to be something but to be someone.”
“I don't understand how a woman can leave the house without fixing herself up a little - if only out of politeness. And then, you never know, maybe that's the day she has a date with destiny. And it's best to be as pretty as possible for destiny.”
