Some Fashion Qutoes: Coco Chanel
— Puti Karina Puar • March 9th, 2009
“I like fashion to go down to the street, but I can’t accept that it should originate there.”
“Fashion is architecture. It is a matter of proportions.”
“I don’t do fashion, I am fashion.”
Gabrielle Bonheur “Coco” Chanel (19 August 1883 – 10 January 1971) was a pioneering French fashion designer whose modernist philosophy, menswear-inspired fashions, and pursuit of expensive simplicity made her an important figure in 20th-century fashion. Her influence on haute couture was such that she was the only person in the field to be named on TIME Magazine’s 100 most influential people of the 20th century.
