Oleg Cassini

A woman who laughs is a woman conquered.

My philosophy is this: Do not tamper with the anatomy of a woman's body; do not camouflage it.

The best of life is to embark on an adventure with a woman interested in having an adventure with you.

At the very beginning of my career, when I opened my business in Italy, I was also a ranked tennis player. I had won many tournaments. To be an athlete was my first choice. Second choice: designer. However! There was more money in being a designer at that time.

A first date should be elegant. In comfortable surroundings. A place with excellent food, where you can talk easily and get to know each other.

In our society, everyone wants to be a celebrity overnight.

What is more important, the reality or the perception? I am perceived to be an important designer. It's enough for me.

Today's designers don't care if fashion has no relationship to human anatomy.

I spent half my life being hurt. The leftovers of hurt are an automatic gesture, like a dog that salivates.

My goal in life was to pursue the good life.

Life is such a tragicomedy.

You might say that I'm the Michelangelo of the dress business.
