The personality is a work of art.
Diana Vreeland
Before even the technique, there is a dream. Chanel had it. The dream is everything.
Diana Vreeland
A lie to get out of something, or take an advantage for oneself, that’s one thing but a lie to make life more interesting—well, that’s entirely different.
Diana Vreeland
You know the greatest thing is passion, without it what have you got? I mean if you love someone you can love them as much as you can love them but if it isn’t a passion, it isn’t burning, it isn’t on fire, you haven’t lived.
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
A funny person is funny only for so long, but a wit can sit down and go on being spellbinding forever. One is not meant to laugh. One stays quiet and marvels. Spontaneously witty talk is without question the most fascinating entertainment there is.
Diana Vreeland
No one had a better sense of luxury than Coco Chanel, She really had the spirit of the 20th Century.

Money has nothing to do with style at all, but naturally it helps every situation.
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
I certainly didn't learn anything in school. My education was the world.
Diana Vreeland
My life has been more influenced by books than by any other one thing.
Diana Vreeland
I've always remained totally myself, which is to say, without an idea... of what to do.
Diana Vreeland
Blue jeans are the most beautiful things since the gondola.
Diana Vreeland
The best thing about London is Paris.
Diana Vreeland
There’s only one thing in life, and that’s the continual renewal of inspiration.
Diana Vreeland
Balenciaga did the most delicious evening clothes. Clothes aren't delicious any more.
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 went to work to make money, not because I was bored. It was money that I wanted.
Diana Vreeland
Fashion must be the most intoxicating release from the banality of the world.
Diana Vreeland
