Jean Patou quotes:

The American woman is a charming creature. She is of a type most unusual and delightful... And their feet and ankles are the most perfect in the world.

I wouldn't know how to design. I couldn't even if I wanted to, for I can't draw, and a pair of scissors in my hands becomes a dangerous weapon.

To be truly soigne, a man should have 80 suits.

Certain dressmakers desire to pass for an artist. I have one ambition: that is to have good taste.

Just like men, perfume is never perfect right away; you have to let it seduce you.

When I create a sports costume, I remember that it must not look - how do you say? - bedraggled.
