Chanel's Quotes By Phoebe Tonkin

Chanel No. 5 is my perfume when I'm feeling like a lady. It's old-school and warm - and it reminds me of my mom. — Phoebe Tonkin

Chanel's Quotes By Cara Delevingne

What bothers me, I guess, is when I get these messages from girls on Twitter, and they're like, 'God, you're my idol, I really admire you.' It's like, 'Admire me for what? What have I done?' It's not that being in a Burberry campaign, or walking in a Chanel show is nothing. It's just ... I know I can do more. — Cara Delevingne

Chanel's Quotes By Coco Chanel

A woman's education consists of two lessons: never leave the house without stocking, never go out without a hat. — Coco Chanel

Chanel's Quotes By Karl Lagerfeld

What I do Coco would have hated. The label has an image and it's up to me to update it. I do what she never did. I had to find my mark. I had to go from what Chanel was to what it should be, could be, what it had been to something else. — Karl Lagerfeld

Chanel's Quotes By Chloe Sevigny

If I'm feeling down in the dumps, or like I need a pop of colour, I'll put on MAC's Lipstick in Lady Danger. I discovered red lipstick when I did the Oscar season: Chanel sent me one and I realised how classic and glamorous it can be. — Chloe Sevigny

Chanel's Quotes By Johnny Weir

Figure skating is a bit dated - it's like that tweed jacket you pull out of the back of your closet from time to time, and I'm going to try to Chanel it up a little bit. — Johnny Weir

Chanel's Quotes By Coco Chanel

The hat is not for the street: it will never be democratized. But there are certain houses that one cannot enter without a hat. And one must always wear a hat when lunching with people whom one does not know well. One appears to one's best advantage. — Coco Chanel

Chanel's Quotes By Ashley Madekwe

A colorful Chanel bag is a way to mix up anything. — Ashley Madekwe

Chanel's Quotes By Coco Chanel

The more stupid and unlucky man is,
the more claims he makes to the woman. — Coco Chanel

It's not houses I love, it's the life I live in them. — Coco Chanel

For a woman betrayal has no sense - one cannot betray one's passions. — Coco Chanel

Chanel's Quotes By Coco Chanel

Disregarding the fact that I am old enough to be [Walter] Schellenberg's mother, I would feel nauseated to be coupled with a man whose ideology has debased our hearts. — Coco Chanel

Chanel's Quotes By Coco Chanel

I remember confuting one of Westminster's favourite maxims, "better the devil you know than the devil you don't". In the annals of popular wisdom, this is one of the most cretinous sayings I have come across. — Coco Chanel

Chanel's Quotes By Coco Chanel

Luxury is a necessity that begins where necessity ends — Coco Chanel

Chanel's Quotes By Coco Chanel

In the act of deciding what to eliminate, you place value on what's left behind. — Coco Chanel

Chanel's Quotes By C. JoyBell C.

People think that the word "class" involves the color black, wearing Chanel No. 5 and carrying a Louis Vuitton. The word "class" and "classy", to me, mean what happens when you are able to be thankful, able to give and be a true friend to anybody regardless of their background and where they come from. That's class. It's a beautiful wave that washes away faults and paints things in a graceful light. You can't always do this, though. Sometimes you just need to slap someone. Still, you can slap someone with a lot of poise and that makes all the difference. — C. JoyBell C.

Chanel's Quotes By Chanel Iman

I'm really focused when I'm working out, so I don't really listen to music. I like to listen to music after, because it's like, 'Yeah! I finished! Let's party!' — Chanel Iman

Chanel's Quotes By Coco Chanel

If a woman is poorly dressed, you notice her dress, and if she's impeccably dressed, you notice the woman. — Coco Chanel

Chanel's Quotes By Coco Chanel

It's not the rooms, it's the life you live in them — Coco Chanel

Chanel's Quotes By Coco Chanel

It's probably not just by chance that I'm alone. It would be very hard for a man to live with me, unless he's terribly strong. And if he's stronger than I, I'm the one who can't live with him. ... I'm neither smart nor stupid, but I don't think I'm a run-of-the-mill person. I've been in business without being a businesswoman, I've loved without being a woman made only for love. The two men I've loved, I think, will remember me, on earth or in heaven, because men always remember a woman who caused them concern and uneasiness. I've done my best, in regard to people and to life, without precepts, but with a taste for justice. — Coco Chanel

Chanel's Quotes By Karl Lagerfeld

Chanel is composed of only a few elements, white camellias, quilted bags and Austrian doorman's jackets, pearls, chains, shoes with black toes. I use these elements like notes to play with. — Karl Lagerfeld

Chanel's Quotes By Ralph Lauren

When you think of the blur of all the brands that are out there, the ones you believe in and the ones you remember, like Chanel and Armani, are the ones that stand for something. Fashion is about establishing an image that consumers can adapt to their own individuality. And it's an image that can change, that can evolve. It doesn't reinvent itself every two years. — Ralph Lauren

Chanel's Quotes By Keke Chanel

A single gunshot was heard throughout the Donald's house by all who was there. Mason smiled inwardly, but his heart ached for his family. The fact that his father had taken a cowardly approach to the situation didn't set right with him. He also knew he would have to take his father's secret to the grave. — Keke Chanel

Chanel's Quotes By Chanel Iman

A good night's sleep is always the best way to wake up and go to work. — Chanel Iman

Chanel's Quotes By Penelope Cruz

There's a lot of work that goes into it - if you think about how many collections a year that Karl Lagerfeld has to do, with Chanel and all the other things he does - you can't do that unless you are working 18 hours a day. It's really a lot of hard, hard work. — Penelope Cruz

Chanel's Quotes By Jackie Chanel

I am an Ivy league graduate. I have a Harvard MBA. I've opened casinos in Las Vegas, Atlantic City, and the French Riviera. I've worked for the Santangelo's, the Lucchetti's and the Gambino's. — Jackie Chanel

Chanel's Quotes By Jessa Crispin

We have to imagine something before we can build the infrastructure that will allow it to exist. We have failed here on both fronts: in imagination and in reality. Our great weirdos, from Emily Dickinson to Simone Weil to Coco Chanel, are seen as outliers, as not relevant to the way we think through what we want out of life. It's the same way we discuss radical feminist writers like Dworkin and Firestone. Dworkin is unhinged, Firestone is too eccentric to be taken seriously. — Jessa Crispin

Chanel's Quotes By Douglas Kirkland

Chanel is everywhere. Pick up a magazine. You'll find Chanel all over it. That's the imprint that she had. I mean, she did so much. — Douglas Kirkland

Chanel's Quotes By Cat Deeley

I always have SK-II face masks in the fridge - they are excellent especially if you've been on a plane and your skin is puffy. I also love Rodin face oil with jasmine - it's delicious and gives you a real glow. I always use Chanel eye cream. I go to have my eyebrows waxed and lashes tinted, and then I always curl my eyelashes. — Cat Deeley

Chanel's Quotes By Fei Fei Sun

I like Chanel mascara because it has the darkest black. For my eyebrows, I brush them through to keep them groomed and in place. And for my lips, I wear lip balm. I use Kiehl's Lip Balm #1. It's really helpful during fashion week. If I keep up with these three things, I feel like I look very fresh, young, and natural. — Fei Fei Sun

Chanel's Quotes By Karl Lagerfeld

The French say you get hungry when you're eating, and I get inspired when I'm working. It's my engine — Karl Lagerfeld

Chanel's Quotes By Lynn Steward

As she looked in the full-length mirror in her dressing room, she added a few ropes of pearls, pinned a white silk camellia, and draped the Chantilly lace shawl. In that moment, Dana thought of fashion's most enduring icon who created this elegant and alluring style, and the happy personal life that eluded her. Mademoiselle Chanel died in 1971 at the age of eighty-eight while working on her spring collection, but her passion for work did not fill the void of marriage and children. Her success was costly, but clearly the choice of an uncompromising woman determined to achieve greatness on her own. She once said, I never wanted to weigh more heavily on a man than a bird. — Lynn Steward

Chanel's Quotes By Jojo Moyes

The fragrance I always wear is Coco by Chanel. I've worn it for 20 years. It suits me, it's classic, and I like the simplicity of only ever wearing one fragrance. — Jojo Moyes

Chanel's Quotes By Sam Taylor-Johnson

Shooting at Coco Chanel's apartment was an unexpectedly absorbing experience. The essence of Chanel is firmly rooted there in all of her possessions, and I truly believe that her spirit and soul still inhabit the second floor. — Sam Taylor-Johnson

Chanel's Quotes By Riccardo Tisci

I like when a man has one strong accessory. If it's a watch, it has to be major. If you have strong shoes, it should just be the shoes. I don't like when a man is overdone-that's just bad taste. Coco Chanel was always saying you have to watch yourself in the mirror, put on a lot of things, and then take them off. I think it should be that way for men as well. — Riccardo Tisci

Chanel's Quotes By Carrie Fisher

Everyone else got to wear their regular outfits from the first movie. I had to wear my outfit that Jabba picked out for me. Jabba the Hutt - the fashionista. Jabba the Hutt - the Coco Chanel of intergalactic style. Trendsetter, fashion maven, leader of women's looks in his world, on his planet and the next. In wax, I would forever be outfitted by outlaw Jabba. In wax and out, I would forever be stone-faced. — Carrie Fisher

Chanel's Quotes By Karl Lagerfeld

There's no Chanel collection without black. (It) will never exist. Who can live without some black clothes. — Karl Lagerfeld

Chanel's Quotes By Karen Karbo

The truth about Chanel's bespoke femininity is that a woman can do or say whatever she wants as long as she's wearing pearls. — Karen Karbo

Chanel's Quotes By Sophie Kinsella

You'd never get tired of a pony. It's a classic. It's, like, the Chanel jacket of toys. — Sophie Kinsella

Chanel's Quotes By Chanel Cleeton

Kiss me. I want to feel what it's like to be kissed by a man who wants me," I whispered. "Please. — Chanel Cleeton

Chanel's Quotes By Joan Didion

Quintana's christening was in 1966, this Christian Dior show was two years later, 1968: 1966 and 1968 were a world removed from each other in the political and cultural life of the United States but they were for women who presented themselves a certain way the same time. It was a way of looking, it was a way of being. It was a period. What became of that way of looking, that way of being, that time, that period? What became of the women smoking cigarettes in their Chanel suits and their David Webb bracelets, what became of Diana holding the champagne flute and the one of Sara Mankiewicz's Minton plates? What became of Sara Mankiewicz's Minton plates? — Joan Didion

Chanel's Quotes By C. JoyBell C.

Coco Chanel used to talk about wearing more than one string of pearls. Why wear one if you can wear two, or something to that effect. I think that one string of pearls is just fine. But that's because my pearls are black, hers were white. — C. JoyBell C.

Chanel's Quotes By Courtney Love

On Sofia Coppola's 16th birthday, way back in 1987, I stole a lip gloss from her Sistine Chapel of a bedroom. Years later, I left a Chanel lip gloss in the reception of the Mercer Hotel for her. You know why? I believe that you've got to fix your karma. — Courtney Love

Chanel's Quotes By Chanel Iman

I have had the privilege of working with the best in the business, from photographers to designers to magazines. There's not much more to ask for but I'm still looking forward to one day working with photographers Mert and Marcus, Tim Walker and Nick Knight. — Chanel Iman

Chanel's Quotes By Coco Chanel

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. — Coco Chanel

Chanel's Quotes By Karl Lagerfeld

I had an interview once with some German journalist - some horrible, ugly woman. It was in the early days after the communists - maybe a week after - and she wore a yellow sweater that was kind of see-through. She had huge tits and a huge black bra, and she said to me, 'It's impolite; remove your glasses.' I said, 'Do I ask you to remove your bra? — Karl Lagerfeld

Chanel's Quotes By Nako

James was a good man, and although Farren had never met Q, Chanel's sorry ass baby daddy, judging off the way Chanel acted and carried herself, she knew that Chanel could do better. In — Nako

Chanel's Quotes By Chanel Iman

Honestly, I try to forget Fashion Week once it's over. I just want to go home and rest and just forget I even did it. It could drive you crazy! It's just show after show after show, and you're missing your family and they feel really far away. You don't go to sleep. You work for a month. — Chanel Iman

Chanel's Quotes By Marc Jacobs

You can go to Graff and buy a diamond that's flawless. You aren't going to be able to buy the same diamond at Fortunoff, but it's still a diamond you can enjoy. If fashion can allow you to have the Chanel mystique through a lipstick, then why shouldn't art allow you to have that through a sweatshirt that says 'Cremaster' on it? — Marc Jacobs

In truth, women are the strong ones. — Coco Chanel

Sure, I'd like to be like the House of Chanel. — John Galliano

Chanel's Quotes By Diana Vreeland

Where Chanel came from in France is anyone's guess. She said one thing one day and another thing the next. She was a peasant - and a genius. Peasants and geniuses are the only people who count and she was both. — Diana Vreeland

Chanel's Quotes By Coco Chanel

Hard times arouse an instinctive desire for authenticity. — Coco Chanel

Chanel's Quotes By Rinko Kikuchi

Now I had babies confuse before. John Green Dudley, first word out a that boy's mouth was Mama and he was looking straight at me.

Course when he start playing dress-up in his sister's Jewel Taylor twirl skirts and wearing Chanel No. 5, we all get a little concern. — Kathryn Stockett

Chanel's Quotes By Coco Chanel

Chanel's Quotes By Chuck Palahniuk

Towles burn. Bathroom inferno! Chanel No. 5, it burns. Oil paintings of racehorses and dead pheasants burn. The reproduction Oriental carpets burn. Evie's bad dried flower arrangements, they're these little tabletop infernos. Too cute! Evie's Katty Kathy doll, it melts, then it burns. Evie's collection of big carnival stuffed animals - Cootie, Poochie, Pam-Pam, Mr. Bunnits, Choochie, Poo Poo and Ringer - it's fun-fur holocaust. Too sweet. Too precious. — Chuck Palahniuk

Chanel's Quotes By Emma Watson

Elegance does not consist in putting on a new dress. — Coco Chanel

Chanel's Quotes By Gigi Hadid

I love St. Ives Apricot Scrub, and you can just get that at CVS - it's so good, though; it's my favorite! Usually I only use that when I shower, because if I don't shower, I'm usually too tired to wash my face and just use Maybelline cleansing wipes. And then I use Chanel Hydra Beauty Lotion. That's so good, I love it. — Gigi Hadid

Chanel's Quotes By Coco Chanel

A beautiful dress may look beautiful on a hanger, but that means nothing. It must be seen on the shoulders, with the movement of the arms, the legs, and the waist. — Coco Chanel

Chanel's Quotes By Coco Chanel

Creativity is the art of concealing your sources. — Coco Chanel

Chanel's Quotes By Sarah Hay

I was kind of a loser at ballet school. It's all rich kids, and I was not a wealthy kid. I didn't have the Chanel butterfly clip everyone else did. — Sarah Hay

Chanel's Quotes By Iris Apfel

Coco Chanel once said that what makes a woman look old is trying desperately to look young. Why should one be ashamed to be 84? Why do you have to say that you're 52? Nobody's going to believe you anyway, so why be such a fool? It's nice that you got to be so old. It's a blessing. — Iris Apfel

Chanel's Quotes By Coco Chanel

It's always better to be underdressed. — Coco Chanel

Chanel's Quotes By Peter Enns

Many Christians have been taught that the Bible is Truth downloaded from heaven, God's rulebook, a heavenly instructional manual - follow the directions and out pops a true believer; deviate from the script and God will come crashing down on you with full force. If anyone challenges this view, the faithful are taught to "defend the Bible" against these anti-God attacks. Problem solved. That is, until you actually read the Bible. Then you see that this rulebook view of the Bible is like a knockoff Chanel handbag - fine as long as it's kept at a distance, away from curious and probing eyes. — Peter Enns

Chanel's Quotes By Christophe Lemaitre

We have a direct contact with our clothes; they're like a little house. You have to feel good and at home in what you wear and. I think that's elegance. Chanel said something like: "When a woman is badly dressed, one sees the dress, and when she is well dressed, one sees the woman." That's what I'm talking about. — Christophe Lemaitre

Chanel's Quotes By Chanel Iman

I'm 23 right now and I feel like I'm still trying to figure it out. Maybe in another two years, I'll have it all together. So maybe 25 is the age at which a woman feels her most beautiful just because she's survived her teenage years and early twenties. — Chanel Iman

Chanel's Quotes By Dylan Penn

Getting to wear Chanel is my version of a fairy tale. Not that I would wear it every day - my style is more jeans and T-shirts - but it's kind of fun. — Dylan Penn

Chanel's Quotes By Michael Cunningham

And here he is, letting the massive steel street door click shut behind him, standing at the top of the three iron steps that lead down to the shattered sidewalk. New York is probably, in this regard at least, the strangest city in the world, so many of its denizens living as they (we) do among the unreconstructed remnants of nineteenth-century sweatshops and tenements, the streets potholed and buckling while right over there, around the corner, is a Chanel boutique. We go shopping amid the rubble, like the world's richest, best-dressed refugees. — Michael Cunningham

Chanel's Quotes By Coco Chanel

The age of a woman is not important: you can be wonderful in your 20's, amazing in your 40's and stay fabulous for the rest of your life. — Coco Chanel

Chanel's Quotes By Chanel Cleeton

If a woman's in my bed, it's because I want her there. I'm not a child who gets bored with his toys after five minutes. If the guys you've been with treat you like that, then you've been screwing round with boys. Would't you rather fuck a man? — Chanel Cleeton

Chanel's Quotes By Chanel Iman

It usually takes an ethnic girl - I'm not saying black, I'm saying ethnic, let's make that clear - twice as long. We've gotta work extra-hard to stay in the game and stay with the girls who do well but aren't ethnic. — Chanel Iman

Chanel's Quotes By Chanel Iman

I don't like to fly. What's it called when the plane shakes? Turbulence, takeoffs ... I grab my chair, close my eyes, count to 30, breathe, and pray. — Chanel Iman

Chanel's Quotes By Chanel West Coast

Whenever you see somebody's style you feel like you get to know them a little bit better by how they're dressed. — Chanel West Coast

Chanel's Quotes By Michael Showalter

If your dad is anything like mine, then you have no clue what to buy him for Father's Day. The only Father's Day tradition in my family is the annual conversation he and I have where I say, 'Hey, Dad, what do you want for Father's Day this year?' and he says, 'Nothing.' Then I ask my mom what I should get him and she says, 'He likes sandalwood soap, dangly jewelry and Chanel No. 5 perfume.' — Michael Showalter

Chanel's Quotes By Anna Mouglalis

I'm not a great clothes shopper. I tend to get a lot from Chanel. But I do like to wear menswear. I love Martin Margiela, and I often take clothes from my boyfriend's closet. — Anna Mouglalis

Chanel's Quotes By Mikhail Bulgakov

Sweetly, albeit hoarsely and with a burr, the girl started singing something scarcely comprehensible, but, judging by the women's faces in the stalls, very seductive:
Guerlain, Chanel no 5, Mitsuko, Narcissus noir, evening dresses, cocktail dresses.. — Mikhail Bulgakov

Chanel's Quotes By Coco Chanel

If I say that I love you but I do want personal time, or if I don't want to do PDA, it's not that I have something against you. — Coco Chanel

Chanel's Quotes By Coco Chanel

Perfume heralds a woman's arrival and prolongs her departure. — Coco Chanel

Chanel's Quotes By Chanel Iman

My goal is to be a household name, and when I do that, I want to help other girls become models, and maybe even launch a fashion line with my mom, like Beyonce did with her mother. My mom has such a good eye, and it's always been a dream of hers. — Chanel Iman

Chanel's Quotes By Coco Chanel

It's not the appearance, it's the essence. It's not the money, it's the education. It's not the clothes, it's the class. — Coco Chanel

Chanel's Quotes By Astrid Berges-Frisbey

For me, Chanel just makes sense - like a story or a film. It's part of my life. — Astrid Berges-Frisbey
