More quotes by Diana Vreeland
When fashion turns over it brings in little tiny creaks and cracks. This is the fascination and that is where you have to watch every step.
Diana Vreeland
I was always sort of a loner, I suppose. I always had to think out everything for myself... I suppose that is what you call a loner.

People who eat white bread have no dreams.

God was fair to the Japanese. He gave them no oil, no coal, no diamonds, no gold, no natural resources — nothing! Nothing comes from the island that you can sustain a civilization on. What God gave the Japanese was a sense of style—maintained through the centuries through hard work and the disciplines of ambition.

Balenciaga did the most delicious evening clothes. Clothes aren't delicious any more.

One thing I hold against Americans is that they have no flair for the rain. They seem unsettled by it it's against them: they take it as an assault, an inconvenience! But rain is so wonderfully cleansing, so refreshing, so calming...
Diana Vreeland
I went to work to make money, not because I was bored. It was money that I wanted.

It’s not about the dress you wear, but it’s about the life you lead in the dress.
Diana Vreeland
Most people haven't got a point of view they need to have it given to them––and what's more, they expect it from you.
Diana Vreeland
If it isn't a passion, it isn't burning, it isn't on fire, you haven't lived.
Diana Vreeland
A funny person is funny only for so long, but a wit can sit down and go on being spellbinding forever. One is not meant to laugh. One stays quiet and marvels. Spontaneously witty talk is without question the most fascinating entertainment there is.
Diana Vreeland
I think your imagination is your reality
Diana Vreeland
A good photograph was never what I was looking for. I like to have a point. I had to have a point or I didn't have a picture. This is what I've always found so fascinating about paparazzi pictures. They catch something unintended, on the wing... they get that thing. It's the revelation of personality.
Diana Vreeland
If you think all the time every day of your life, you might as well kill yourself today and be happier tomorrow.
Diana Vreeland
Where Chanel came from in France is anyone’s guess. She said one thing one day and another thing the next. She was a peasant—and a genius. Peasants and geniuses are the only people who count and she was both.
Diana Vreeland
I've always remained totally myself, which is to say, without an idea... of what to do.
Diana Vreeland
Don't look left nor right and never compete. Never. Watching the other guy is what kills all forms of energy.
