"The opposite of luxury is not poverty because in the houses of the poor you can smell a good pot au feu. The opposite is not simplicity for there is beauty in the corn-stall and barn, often great simplicity in luxury, but there is nothing in vulgarity, its complete opposite."
So Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel (1883—1971) told photographer Cecil Beaton in 1966.
