Man: Coco also said, “Look for the woman in the dress. If there is no woman, there is no dress.”
Woman: This seems to be quite an ironic statement from Coco. Maybe she was hinting at her dislike for the ongoing fashion for women to wear trousers, especially in the working world, to disguise their femininity so as to be taken serious in the worlds of work, previously dominated by men.
Who knows? But, at every fashion show, whoever the designer is, the models always strike out in the most beautiful dresses ever created.
For example:
Man: I love that dress you’re wearing, you look so different out of work.
Woman: Now, should I take that as a compliment or sarcasm.
Man: Can’t a man give a woman an innocent compliment these days, without offending her?
Woman: I’m not a woman, I’m a lady – especially when I’m dressed up like this.
Man: Excuse me, what’s the difference?
Woman: Look it up in a dictionary. I’m joking. It’s just a polite way of saying woman.

Man: Yves Saint Laurent stated that “Fashion fades, style is eternal.”
Woman: We have already looked at how fashion is a style of dressing that is the most popular at a particular time. But style in this quote means the way of dressing in a way that other people admire.
In fact “Italian Style” is commented on all over the world, as they are famous for being so well dressed. But, many people have said that “Italians do it better.” – and I assume that this is referring to their sense of dress and style
Now listen to a short conversation:
Man: Wow! You look gorgeous! I love your style, that green silk scarf goes so well with your outfit. How do you manage to look so stylish every day?
Woman: Me? You’re joking. I just threw this on. You should meet my boss, I’ve never seen her wear the same outfit twice. She has everything matching from her jewellery to the nail varnish on her toes. I tell you, she’s a classy lady who has true style.

Man: Yves also said, “I wish I had invented blue jeans. They have expression, modesty, sex appeal, and simplicity – all I hope for in my clothes.”
Woman: “I wish I had + past participle,” means I’m sorry I didn’t do something in the past. In this quote Yves is regretting he didn’t think of the idea to design jeans. Jeans are eternally in fashion, and can be dressed up or down. These are phrasal verbs, “dress up” means in this sense to make something look more elegant or formal, and “dress down” means to make something look more casual. The current fashion of jeans seems to be for English slogans such as “rich” to be printed on the bum.
Listen to this short conversation:
Man: Are you ready yet?
Woman: Yes, let me just find my blazer.
Man: But, you’re still in your jeans.
Woman: We’re doing business with Americans today, and it’s perfectly acceptable business attire to wear jeans and a jacket, and I feel comfortable in them.
Man: Whatever you say dear.
