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

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
Blue jeans are the most beautiful things since the gondola.
Diana Vreeland
You don't have to be born beautiful to be wildly attractive.
Diana Vreeland
Every girl in the world should have geisha training
Diana Vreeland
Where would fashion be without literature?
Diana Vreeland
You know the greatest thing is passion, without it what have you got? I mean if you love someone you can love them as much as you can love them but if it isn’t a passion, it isn’t burning, it isn’t on fire, you haven’t lived.
Diana Vreeland
Unshined shoes are the end of civilization.
Diana Vreeland
Pleasure is everything.
