More quotes by Diana Vreeland
No one had a better sense of luxury than Coco Chanel, She really had the spirit of the 20th Century.
Diana Vreeland
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
You don't have to be born beautiful to be wildly attractive.
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
Pink is the navy blue of India.
Diana Vreeland
Within every girl is the possibility of arousing emotion. Without emotion there is no beauty.
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
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
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
Pleasure is everything.
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
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
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
God was fair to the Japanese. He gave them no oil, no coal, no diamonds, no gold, no natural resources — nothing! Nothing comes from the island that you can sustain a civilization on. What God gave the Japanese was a sense of style—maintained through the centuries through hard work and the disciplines of ambition.
Diana Vreeland
I loathe narcissism, but I approve of vanity.
Diana Vreeland
You gotta have style. It helps you get down the stairs. It helps you get up in the morning. It's a way of life. Without it, you're nobody.
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
If it isn't a passion, it isn't burning, it isn't on fire, you haven't lived.
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
What do I think about the way most people dress? Most people are not something one thinks about.
Diana Vreeland
