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.”

![“My father would never have come to visit, he detested Eva's [Braun] choice in a man and the fact [Adolf] Hitler had set her up in an apartment. To him it was deeply humiliating that she was living with a man at his own whim at an apartment he was paying for.” quote by Gretl Braun](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/2a7/gretl-braun-9500_apartment_my-father-would-never-have-come-to-visit_40016.jpg)
