Diana Vreeland
I wasn't a fashion editor. I was the one and only fashion editor.
Diana Vreeland
It's only intelligent to wish to look after yourself properly.
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
