More quotes by Diana Vreeland
Style all who have it have have one thing: originality.
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
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
Every girl in the world should have geisha training
Diana Vreeland
I certainly didn't learn anything in school. My education was the world.
Diana Vreeland
Where would fashion be without literature?
Diana Vreeland
Oh, but I think that thoughtfulness and manners are everything.
Diana Vreeland
Fragrances fill the senses with the mysterious.
Diana Vreeland
If you think all the time every day of your life, you might as well kill yourself today and be happier tomorrow.
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
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.
Diana Vreeland
I always say I hope to God I die in a town with a good tailor, a good shoemaker, and perhaps someone who's interested in a little quelque chose d'autre.
Diana Vreeland
I think your imagination is your reality
Diana Vreeland
I went to work to make money, not because I was bored. It was money that I wanted.
Diana Vreeland
It's only intelligent to wish to look after yourself properly.
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
When I discovered dancing, I learned to dream.
Diana Vreeland
I adore artifice. I always have.
Diana Vreeland
Never fear being vulgar, just boring, middle class or dull.
Diana Vreeland
You don't have to be born beautiful to be wildly attractive.
Diana Vreeland
