Hubert de Givenchy

“The dress must follow the body of a woman, not the body following the shape of the dress.”

“Luxury is in each detail.”

“Hair style is the final tip-off whether a woman really knows herself.”

“All a woman needs to be chic is a raincoat, two suits, a pair of trousers and a cashmere sweater.”

“The little black dress is the hardest thing to realize, because you must keep it simple.”

“To be yourself is a luxury.”

“The secret of my success has been my friendship with Audrey Hepburn.”

“Perfume is the first garment you wear.”

“My clothes are for women who are not afraid of being themselves.”

“I am happy because I am doing what I love. I have been able to do what I love, which is to create beautiful things.”

“You have to know when to stop. I think that's the most important thing. Not to do too much.”

“Elegance is an attitude.”
