More quotes by 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.

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
Before even the technique, there is a dream. Chanel had it. The dream is everything.
Diana Vreeland
Unshined shoes are the end of civilization.
Diana Vreeland
I think allure is something around you, like a perfume or like a scent. It's like a memory ... it pervades.
Diana Vreeland
I loathe narcissism, but I approve of vanity.
Diana Vreeland
The best time to leave a party is when the party’s just beginning. There’s no drink that kills except the drink that you didn’t want to take, as the saying goes, and there’s no hour that kills except the hour you stayed after you wanted to go home.
Diana Vreeland
It's only intelligent to wish to look after yourself properly.

Prettiness is not a rent you pay for occupying a space marked 'female'

If it isn't a passion, it isn't burning, it isn't on fire, you haven't lived.

I sincerely believe that energy grows from itself and the more energy you expand the more you create within yourself.

You've got to have style, it helps you get out of bed in the morning.
