Fashionable Quotes: Coco Chanel

Coco Chanel has been an inspiration for so many people, both because of her impeccable sense of style and  her character and stubborn nature. She always stood up for herself and expressed her opinions out loud. I hope this quote comes as an inspiration for you as well today.

Sorry for the lack of posting by the way, I know I promised photos from the fashion shows I attended last week, but after the mini-holiday I came back to a lot of work and I haven't had enough time to finish sorting the fashion pics. This weekend you'll definitely get to see them!

Fashion Quote of the Day: Marc Jacobs

"I always find beauty in things that are odd and imperfect. They are much more interesting."

I don't know about you, but I love reading fashion quotes! I feel that I'm getting into the mind of the designers and I learn more about them, about what they like or what inspires them. Marc Jacobs is one of the most talented designers out there at the moment (and one of my favorites!) and I really liked the sincerity that has always characterized him. I felt really inspired by his quote. We don't have to be perfect, otherwise we're boring. When there's something slightly off, it's then that the magic happens. To go with the quote, I chose a set of photos shot by Annie Leibovitz for Vogue US January 2012 issue showcasing some of the designer's best work between 2003 and 2008 and of course the iconic Spring/Summer 2012 caroussel collection. Enjoy!

Fashion Quote of the Day: Karl Lagerfeld

Karl Lagerfeld is one of fashion's biggest creative geniuses over the past few decades in my opinion. He revived the House of Chanel, he manages several other labels, he's a photographer - he does everything by himself! I feel very inspired by him and I love his style and strong personality. Don't you remember that I even waited outside for two hours at the back entrance of the Grand Palais after a fashion show just to see a glimpse of him in his car? That is a wonderful memory. So I dedicate this day to him as my inspiration!

Here are a few photos from an editorial in Vogue where he talks about the music he loves. I really felt that his quirkiness and his personality came through in these photos, so an inspirational quote was in order:
