More quotes by Diana Vreeland
Fashion must be the most intoxicating release from the banality of the world.

Diana Vreeland
If it isn't a passion, it isn't burning, it isn't on fire, you haven't lived.
Diana Vreeland
Blue jeans are the most beautiful things since the gondola.

One thing I hold against Americans is that they have no flair for the rain. They seem unsettled by it it's against them: they take it as an assault, an inconvenience! But rain is so wonderfully cleansing, so refreshing, so calming...
Diana Vreeland
Chutney is marvelous. I'm mad about it. To me, it's very imperial.

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
You're not supposed to give people what they want, you're supposed to give them what they don't know that they want yet.
Diana Vreeland
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
Balenciaga did the most delicious evening clothes. Clothes aren't delicious any more.
Diana Vreeland
I think your imagination is your reality
Diana Vreeland
This is a weakness of the world. Someone thinks they've discovered something for the first time. They want to be authoritative about it.
Diana Vreeland
Never fear being vulgar, just boring, middle class or dull.
Diana Vreeland
Oh, but I think that thoughtfulness and manners are everything.
Diana Vreeland
