More quotes by Diana Vreeland
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.
Diana Vreeland
Don't look back. Just go ahead. Give ideas away. Under every idea there's a new idea waiting to be born.
Diana Vreeland
I loathe narcissism, but I approve of vanity.
Diana Vreeland
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.
Diana Vreeland
I adore artifice. I always have.
Diana Vreeland
When I discovered dancing, I learned to dream.

Without emotion there is no beauty

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!
Diana Vreeland
I sincerely believe that energy grows from itself and the more energy you expand the more you create within yourself.
Diana Vreeland
I've always had such wonderful opportunities, but I never made the effort, haven't put on the pressure. But I never took them.
Diana Vreeland
Balenciaga often said that women did not have to be perfect or beautiful to wear his clothes. When they wore his clothes, they became beautiful.
Diana Vreeland
No one had a better sense of luxury than Coco Chanel, She really had the spirit of the 20th Century.
Diana Vreeland
You've got to have style, it helps you get out of bed in the morning.
Diana Vreeland
I like to indulge myself by sitting up late without having to do anything in the morning.
Diana Vreeland
I wasn't a fashion editor. I was the one and only fashion editor.
Diana Vreeland
Money has nothing to do with style at all, but naturally it helps every situation.
Diana Vreeland
Beauty has nothing to do with possession. If possession and beauty must go together, then we are lost souls. A beautiful flower is not to be possessed, it's there to be beheld. It's there for your pleasure.
Diana Vreeland
Blue jeans are the most beautiful things since the gondola.
Diana Vreeland
Before even the technique, there is a dream. Chanel had it. The dream is everything.
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.
