Coco Chanel passed away 55 years ago, at 9 PM on January 10, 1971, in her 188-square-meter suite at the Ritz Hotel in Paris. This anniversary is the perfect occasion to remember some of her most famous sayings, which have become aphorisms!
✔️ There are no ugly women, only lazy ones.
✔️ Fashion fades, style remains.
✔️ If a woman cuts her hair, she's about to change her life.
✔️ There is nothing more comfortable than the appearance of a caterpillar, and nothing more created for love than the appearance of a butterfly. We need dresses to crawl in and dresses to fly in. Fashion is both a caterpillar and a butterfly. A caterpillar during the day, a butterfly at night.
✔️ When I find a color darker than black, I'll wear it. But until then, I wear black!
✔️ When choosing accessories, take off the last thing you put on.
✔️ The worse a girl's affairs are, the better she should look.
✔️ Not every woman is born beautiful, but if she hasn't become so by the age of 30, she's simply stupid.
✔️ There shouldn't be handsome men, and there are no ugly ones. There are only too few flowers and warm champagne.
✔️ The paradox is that the stupider and more talentless a man is, the more demands he makes on a woman.
✔️ You won't get a second chance to make a first impression.
✔️ If you are struck by a woman's beauty, but you can't remember what she was wearing, then she was dressed perfectly.
✔️ People with good taste wear costume jewelry. Everyone else has to wear gold.
✔️ I don't care what you think of me. I don't think about you at all.
✔️ Your face at twenty is given to you by nature; what it will be like at fifty depends on you.
✔️ Old age doesn't protect against love, but love protects against old age. ✔️ Remember: Chanel is always No. 1, even if it's "Chanel No. 5"!
In my opinion, every quote is as relevant today as ever!
