More quotes by Diana Vreeland
Don't you loathe the word workaholic? It has nothing to do with an important thing, that you and your secretary are at the office until 6:30. But that's life, kiddo. 24-hour work doesn't go on in America. 24-hour work is what Italy and Holland did after the war. The lights never went out!
Diana Vreeland
There was a time when it was considered vulgar and unnecessary to pursue money, but today anyone who doesn't believe in money must be out of their minds!
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
Never fear being vulgar, just boring, middle class or dull.
Diana Vreeland
I read everything! I would have read the phone book if you put it in front of me. I just read.
Diana Vreeland
A good photograph was never what I was looking for. I like to have a point. I had to have a point or I didn't have a picture. This is what I've always found so fascinating about paparazzi pictures. They catch something unintended, on the wing... they get that thing. It's the revelation of personality.
Diana Vreeland
If it isn't a passion, it isn't burning, it isn't on fire, you haven't lived.
Diana Vreeland
All my life I've pursued the perfect red.
Diana Vreeland
Being vulgar is fine, but oh please just don't be boring.
Diana Vreeland
Don't look left nor right and never compete. Never. Watching the other guy is what kills all forms of energy.
Diana Vreeland
All people are meant to be creative in a certain way. What way? Perhaps I was cut out to be a wonderful housewife, with a marvelous sense of cooking, being with my friends, running a perfect house. But I am not ambitious towards anything.
Diana Vreeland
I wasn't a fashion editor. I was the one and only fashion editor.
Diana Vreeland
Blue jeans are the most beautiful things since the gondola.
Diana Vreeland
Still, my dream in life is to come home and think of absolutely nothing. After all, you can’t think all the time.
Diana Vreeland
Fashion must be the most intoxicating release from the banality of the world.
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
Most people haven't got a point of view they need to have it given to them––and what's more, they expect it from you.
Diana Vreeland
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
Never worry about the facts. Just project an image to the public.

Every girl in the world should have geisha training
