Coco Chanel


Gabrielle Bonheur "Coco" Chanel (August 19th 1883 - January 10th 1971) was a pioneering french fashion designer whose modernist philosophy, menswear-inspired fashions and pursuit of expensive simplicity made her the most important figure in the history of 20th-century fashion.


"As long as you know men are like children, you know everything."

"A style does not go out as long it adapts itself to its period. When there is an incompatibility between the style and a certain state of mind, it is never the style that triumphs."


The classic 2.55


"Fashion is architecture: it is a matter of proportions."

"I love luxury. And luxury lies not in richness and ornatess but in the absence of vulgarity. Vulgarity is the ugliest word in our language. I stay in the game to fight it."



Shirley MacLaine in "Coco Chanel"
"I don't understand how a women can leave the house without fixing herself up a little - if only out politness. And then, you never know, maybe that's the day she has a date with destiny. And it's best to be as pretty as possible for destiny."



Barbara Bobulova and Sagamore Stévenin in "Coco Chanel"
"When accessorising, always take off the last thing you put on."

Hey It's me! =)

Hey, I'm Claudia, a.k.a Claudiamond, Cleezy, Roc, or just Clau! =)
First of all I wanna say that I'm so disappointed: Blogspot sucks. I thought it was cooler, it thought I were able to upload a background & stuff... The only pretty thing is my reflex on the screen... Eheh... Chic.
Anyway, I'm italian... =) I love fashion (I'll be a stylist), Kanye West, music and tennis. I don't know why I wanted to make a blog here, I just thought it was nice to have one too hehe =)
I hope my mind will be full of nice thoughts & stuff to post on here... Ok, I'm not so good at introducing myself, so right now the only thing I can say is:
"bye bye" and "leave comments"(of course only when you find something intersting or you just don't know what the fuck to do)!
Kisses xxx Clau =)
