Con la sua spiccata sensibilità artistica e conoscenza nel campo della moda e il suo stile chic influenzò gli stilisti della sua epoca. Era una donna molto elegante, aveva uno stile semplice ma ricercato. Affermava che lo stile è innato. Molte sue espressioni rimandano alla poetica di Diana Vreeland.

" Elegance is innate. It has nothing to do with being well dressed. Elegance is refusal. "

" In a Balenciaga you were the only woman in the room - no other woman existed. "

" The only real elegance is in the mind; if you've got that, the rest really comes from it. "
