Oh, but I think that thoughtfulness and manners are everything.

If you think all the time every day of your life, you might as well kill yourself today and be happier tomorrow.
Diana Vreeland
Image
Fashion is part of the daily air and it changes all the time, with all the events. You can even see the approaching of a revolution in clothes. You can see and feel everything in clothes.

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.

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.

Balenciaga was incredibleI was madly infatuated with his clothes. His clothes were devastating. One fainted. One simply blew up and died.

Image
I've always had such wonderful opportunities, but I never made the effort, haven't put on the pressure. But I never took them.

I went to work to make money, not because I was bored. It was money that I wanted.
