I Love Bows, … And I Feel

I Cannot Pretend To Do Sculpture And Make A Woman The Ridiculous Pedestal Of My Pretensions. To Render Clothing Poetic, Yes--but One Must Preserve Its Dignity As Clothing.

I Am No Longer Concerned With Sensation And Innovation, But With The Perfection Of My Style.

I Love Women. I Love All The Bright And Attractive People And Things Of This World, The Flame And Also The Moth, The Dancer And The Dance.

I Find Men's Clothing Fascinating Because Sometime Between, Say, 1930 And 1936 A Handful Of Basic Shapes Were Created And Still Prevail As A Sort Of Scale Of Expression, With Which Every Man Can Project His Own Personality And His Own Dignity.

I Participated In The Transformation Of My Era. I Did It With Clothes, Which Is Surely Less Important Than Music, Architecture, Painting But Whatever It's Worth I Did It.
