Pleasure is everything.
Diana Vreeland
Why don't you have a room done up in every color green? This will take months, years, to collect, but it will be delightful-a melange of plants, green glass, green porcelains, and furniture covered in sad greens, gay greens, clear, faded, and poison greens?
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
For goodness sakes, beware of curls… It is a great art to do them so that the girls not only look modern - but do not suddenly look very vulgar.
Diana Vreeland
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.
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
Too much good taste can be very boring. Independent style, on the other hand, can be very inspiring.
Diana Vreeland
Within every girl is the possibility of arousing emotion. Without emotion there is no beauty.
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'm for everybody. There are no set rules. But if one's not a joiner. To hell with all of them!
Diana Vreeland
Too much good taste can 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
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
It's only intelligent to wish to look after yourself properly.
Diana Vreeland
Never fear being vulgar, just boring, middle class or dull.
Diana Vreeland
Beauty has nothing to do with possession. If possession and beauty must go together, then we are lost souls. A beautiful flower is not to be possessed, it's there to be beheld. It's there for your pleasure.
Diana Vreeland
Never worry about the facts. Just project an image to the public.
Diana Vreeland
Balenciaga did the most delicious evening clothes. Clothes aren't delicious any more.
Diana Vreeland
I was always sort of a loner, I suppose. I always had to think out everything for myself... I suppose that is what you call a loner.
Diana Vreeland
When fashion turns over it brings in little tiny creaks and cracks. This is the fascination and that is where you have to watch every step.
