More quotes by Diana Vreeland
What do I think about the way most people dress? Most people are not something one thinks about.
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

Diana Vreeland
If it isn't a passion, it isn't burning, it isn't on fire, you haven't lived.
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
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
It’s not about the dress you wear, but it’s about the life you lead in the dress.
Diana Vreeland
I think allure is something around you, like a perfume or like a scent. It's like a memory ... it pervades.
Diana Vreeland
Where would fashion be without literature?
Diana Vreeland
Within every girl is the possibility of arousing emotion. Without emotion there is no beauty.
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.
