More quotes by 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
Where would fashion be without literature?
Diana Vreeland
Fashion must be the most intoxicating release from the banality of the world.
Diana Vreeland
Before even the technique, there is a dream. Chanel had it. The dream is everything.
Diana Vreeland
Don't look back. Just go ahead. Give ideas away. Under every idea there's a new idea waiting to be born.
Diana Vreeland
I'm terrible on facts. But I always have an idea. If you have an idea, you're well ahead
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
I wasn't a fashion editor. I was the one and only fashion editor.
Diana Vreeland
I've always remained totally myself, which is to say, without an idea... of what to do.
Diana Vreeland
I like to indulge myself by sitting up late without having to do anything in the morning.
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
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
Too much good taste can be very boring. Independent style, on the other hand, can be very inspiring.
Diana Vreeland
You've got to have style, it helps you get out of bed in the morning.
Diana Vreeland
You're not supposed to give people what they want, you're supposed to give them what they don't know that they want yet.
Diana Vreeland
I adore artifice. I always have.
Diana Vreeland
This is a weakness of the world. Someone thinks they've discovered something for the first time. They want to be authoritative about it.
Diana Vreeland
Every girl in the world should have geisha training
