More quotes by Diana Vreeland
To be contented—that’s for the cows.
Diana Vreeland
A funny person is funny only for so long, but a wit can sit down and go on being spellbinding forever. One is not meant to laugh. One stays quiet and marvels. Spontaneously witty talk is without question the most fascinating entertainment there is.
Diana Vreeland
Being vulgar is fine, but oh please just don't be boring.
Diana Vreeland
Without emotion there is no beauty
Diana Vreeland
I like to indulge myself by sitting up late without having to do anything in the morning.
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
I think part of my success as an editor came from never worrying about a fact, a cause, an atmosphere. It was me—projecting to the public. That was my job. I think I always had a perfectly clear view of what was possible for the public. Give ‘em what they never knew they wanted.
Diana Vreeland
I'm terrible on facts. But I always have an idea. If you have an idea, you're well ahead
Diana Vreeland
I think your imagination is your reality
Diana Vreeland
A lie to get out of something, or take an advantage for oneself, that’s one thing but a lie to make life more interesting—well, that’s entirely different.
Diana Vreeland
Before even the technique, there is a dream. Chanel had it. The dream is everything.
Diana Vreeland
I wasn't a fashion editor. I was the one and only fashion editor.
Diana Vreeland
Every girl in the world should have geisha training
Diana Vreeland
Never worry about the facts. Just project an image to the public.
Diana Vreeland
There's only one very good life and that's the life you know you want and you make it 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
Too much good taste can be very boring. Independent style, on the other hand, can be very inspiring.
Diana Vreeland
The first thing to do is to arrange to be born in Paris. After that, everything follows quite naturally.
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
I always say I hope to God I die in a town with a good tailor, a good shoemaker, and perhaps someone who's interested in a little quelque chose d'autre.
