Eugenia Sheppard - Witicisms

Witicisms

• "It's all terribly cute, but like giving a girl candy when she craves steak." (on some designers' one-time predilection for buttons and bows)
• "Pretty sexy for a tall girl, but it may make a short one disappear altogether." (on a dress she was not crazy about)
• "Dessès has always been inspired by birds. I think it's time somebody came right out and told this nice guy to switch to biology or some other ology. Anything but birds." (On Jean Dessès' "dovetail look")
• "For the second time in history, women are in a dither about a young man, called Valentino. This time he is not a movie star, but a fashion designer from Rome." (In 1964 for the Boston Post about the designer Valentino)
