More quotes by Diana Vreeland
Of course I was always mad about the ballet russe, mad about it!
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
Blue jeans are the most beautiful things since the gondola.
Diana Vreeland
When fashion turns over it brings in little tiny creaks and cracks. This is the fascination and that is where you have to watch every step.

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

All people are meant to be creative in a certain way. What way? Perhaps I was cut out to be a wonderful housewife, with a marvelous sense of cooking, being with my friends, running a perfect house. But I am not ambitious towards anything.
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
Money has nothing to do with style at all, but naturally it helps every situation.
Diana Vreeland

Diana Vreeland
Chutney is marvelous. I'm mad about it. To me, it's very imperial.
Diana Vreeland
Before even the technique, there is a dream. Chanel had it. The dream is everything.
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 loathe narcissism, but I approve of vanity.
Diana Vreeland
Pleasure is everything.
Diana Vreeland
I read everything! I would have read the phone book if you put it in front of me. I just read.
Diana Vreeland
