Elizabeth Hawes Quotes

Fashion is that horrid little man with an evil eye who tells you that your last winter’s coat may be in perfect physical condition, but you can’t wear it. You can’t wear it because it has a belt and this year ‘we are not showing belts Picture Quote #1

It was my idea that if you started any kind of business, you should begin somewhere near where you hoped to end. In other words, if I wanted to make really good clothes to order, I would start out making good, and therefore expensive, clothes to order. If I started making inexpensive clothes, I thought probably I’d die making them Picture Quote #1

The French legend is a very simple one. All really beautiful clothes are designed in the houses of the French couturiers and all women want those clothes Picture Quote #1

If you feel like getting a divorce, you are no exception to the general rule Picture Quote #1

Being chic not only takes a great deal of money but an enormous amount of time. It practically precludes everything else, even being on charity committees. Half of one’s time goes getting chic, the other half being seen that way Picture Quote #1

Is woman a lost sex? If so, is she the only lost sex? Has woman alone conceived all the vipers in our land? Picture Quote #1

Style doesn’t change every month or every year. It only changes as often as there is a real change in the point of view and lives of the people for whom it is produced Picture Quote #1

One of the most fascinating things about the world of fashion is that practically no one knows who inhabits it or why it exists. There are a few people who know how it works, but they won’t tell Picture Quote #1

It is impossible to be completely abstract about clothes because they have no life unless they are worn. They must fit onto a body or they do not exist Picture Quote #1

Yesterday people were permitted to change things. They will be permitted to advocate changing them tomorrow. It is only dangerous to think of changing anything today Picture Quote #1

The process of education is not generally a process of teaching people to think and ask questions. It... is mostly one of teaching the young what is and getting them into a mood where they will go on keeping it that way Picture Quote #1

All one really requires for putting anything over is enough energy and resistance to keep on plugging the idea. Someone will eventually fall Picture Quote #1

No garment which distorts the shape and motion of the wearer is beautiful, nor s any garment beautiful which emphasizes more than one or at most two of your sexual characteristics Picture Quote #1

I don’t know when the word fashion came into being, but it was an evil day. For thousands of years people got along with something called style and maybe, in another thousand, we’ll go back to it Picture Quote #1
