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.

When I arrived in America, I had these very dark red nails which some people objected to, but then some people object to absolutely everything.

It’s not about the dress you wear, but it’s about the life you lead in the dress.
Diana Vreeland
Image
I read everything! I would have read the phone book if you put it in front of me. I just read.
Diana Vreeland
Image
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.
