Christian Dior

I wanted to be considered a good craftsman. I wanted my dresses to be constructed like buildings, molded to the curves of the female form, stylizing its shape.

A dress is a piece of ephemeral architecture, designed to enhance the proportions of the female body.

A woman's perfume tells more about her than her handwriting.

From his very first works, it was clear that Henri Sauguet would bring spontaneity, romance, and a nonacademic approach back to modern music.

Without foundations, there can be no fashion.

Women, with their sure instincts, realized that my intention was to make them not just more beautiful but also happier.

Finally, everything that has been part of my life, whether I wanted it to or not, has expressed itself in my dresses.

Deep in every heart slumbers a dream, and the couturier knows it: every woman is a princess.

All I required to be happy was friendship and people I could admire.

You can never really go wrong if you take nature as an example.

My dream is to save women from nature.

Zest is the secret of all beauty. There is no beauty that is attractive without zest.
