Apartment Quote by Carine Roitfeld
“Each time Im coming out of my apartment I remember the quote of Coco Chanel; she said, Each time Im leaving my apartment or my hotel, Im looking at myself in the mirror and I take off one piece of my look. Its always one thing too much. And its a bit the same, always I take off my scarf or I take off my bag or jewellery because I like it simple. Coco Chanel is a great consultant I think.”
