The quotes were a bit controversial but quite pleasant to read. I finished the book in one go from Dundrum to the City Centre of Dublin.
One thing that makes me think about Gabrielle is if she would have been delighted to know that her brand became something luxurious and hardly affordable. I firmly believe that her ideals would be different from the ones that the CEOs of the brand are happy to keep now.

Not sure if Coco had said some better quotes. There are a few good ones in there.

Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening.

Some quotes are better than others.

A woman who doesn't wear perfume has no future.

The best colour is in the whole world is the one that looks good on you.
