I love luxury. And luxury lies not in richness and ornateness but in the absence of vulgarity. Vulgarity is the ugliest word in our language. I stay in the game to fight it.
我爱奢侈。奢侈并不意味着贵重与装饰华丽,奢侈就是屏除粗俗。粗俗是我们语言中最丑的一个词。我从事设计就是为了对抗粗俗。
“Where should one use perfume?" a young woman asked. "Wherever one wants to be kissed," I said.
“应该在何处擦香水?”一位少妇问我。“只要是想被亲吻的地方”我如此回答。
Dress shabbily and they remember the dress; dress impeccably and they remember the woman.
穿着破旧,则人们记住衣服;穿着无暇,则人们记住衣服里的女人
I don't understand how a woman can leave the house without fixing herself up a little - if only out of politeness. 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.
我无法理解一个女人怎么可以毫不修饰就走出家门,哪怕出于礼貌也该打扮一下。而且,你永远也猜不到,也许那天就是她与真命天子约会的一天。而为了自己的真命天子总是越美丽越好。
There is no time for cut-and-dried monotony. There is time for work. And time for love. That leaves no other time.
没有时间做一成不变的单调事。工作需要时间,爱情需要时间,就没有时间做其他了。
