There is no word in English for chic. Why should there be? Everything chic is by legend French. Perhaps everything chic is in reality French.

Erin Foster

Clothing has a great deal to do with the attitudes and energy that others direct towards you. I favor the chic, and tend to avoid the trendy. I think that it's good to be chic when possible because it is more inaccessible.

Frederick Lenz

I dislike the concept of 'chic' being the highest compliment for a human being. I'd rather someone be nice than to be chic.

Kanye West

I'm not chic, I could never be chic.

Sid Vicious

Trust me, the only real way to understand 'Chic' is in highfalutin terms. Our chord progressions were based on European modal melodies. I made those early 'Chic' records to impress my jazz friends.

Carine Roitfeld

Nan Goldin

Frederick Lenz

There was Pauline de Rothschild, who I thought was very fabulous, and Millicent Rogers, the Standard Oil heiress, very chic, very clever, very original. I admired both those women very much. And I had a great example with my mother, who was extremely chic.

Iris Apfel

They were enormously chic. My father was very chic. My mother was a heavy woman and she wore wonderful, bright colors, and pajamas, but when she was in town or in New York City or in Paris, she would wear navy blue or black. But there was a flamboyance to both of them.

Polly Allen Mellen

You cannot fake chic but you? can be chic and fake fur

Karl Lagerfeld

C. Everett 'Chic' Koop became U.S. Surgeon General under President Reagan. He was a world renowned pediatric surgeon who had a tumultuous Senate confirmation process due to partisanship. Chic took office in January 1982, a time of 'tobacco wars' and a new and evolving terrifying disease that we ultimately came to know as AIDS.

Richard Carmona
