Image
Oh, but I think that thoughtfulness and manners are everything.
Diana Vreeland
Image
Never fear being vulgar, just boring, middle class or dull.

Style all who have it have have one thing: originality.

Don't you loathe the word workaholic? It has nothing to do with an important thing, that you and your secretary are at the office until 6:30. But that's life, kiddo. 24-hour work doesn't go on in America. 24-hour work is what Italy and Holland did after the war. The lights never went out!

All people are meant to be creative in a certain way. What way? Perhaps I was cut out to be a wonderful housewife, with a marvelous sense of cooking, being with my friends, running a perfect house. But I am not ambitious towards anything.

Don't look back. Just go ahead. Give ideas away. Under every idea there's a new idea waiting to be born.

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.

You gotta have style. It helps you get down the stairs. It helps you get up in the morning. It's a way of life. Without it, you're nobody.
Diana Vreeland
Image
This is a weakness of the world. Someone thinks they've discovered something for the first time. They want to be authoritative about it.
Diana Vreeland
Image
If you think all the time every day of your life, you might as well kill yourself today and be happier tomorrow.
Diana Vreeland
Image
The only real elegance is in the mind if you've got that, the rest really comes from it.
Diana Vreeland
Image
What do I think about the way most people dress? Most people are not something one thinks about.

Image
The first thing to do is to arrange to be born in Paris. After that, everything follows quite naturally.

Image
My life has been more influenced by books than by any other one thing.

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...

You don't have to be born beautiful to be wildly attractive.

All my life I’ve pursued the perfect red. I can never get painters to mix it for me. It’s exactly as if I’d said, ‘I want rococo with a spot of Gothic in it and a bit of Buddhist temple’—they have no idea what I’m talking about. About the best red is to copy the color of a child’s cap in any Renaissance portrait.

For goodness sakes, beware of curls… It is a great art to do them so that the girls not only look modern - but do not suddenly look very vulgar.
