I gave up on my looks a long time ago.

Fashion is a mysterious energy, a visual moment-impossible to predict where it goes.

It's like learning to fall properly. If you can manage not to tighten up you won't hurt yourself as much. The same theory applies to your day, physically and emotionally. The tensions simply can't take hold.

If you pay attention, everyone is a novel. The most boring person, if you sit down and really listen, is someone interesting.

Style is something each of us already has, all we need to do is find it.
Diane von Furstenberg

Building a wardrobe is like building a circle of friends your whole life.... Your own beauty is to be yourself, but of course we need tools and accessories.

Fashion is mysterious, as a rule. Why are blue jeans a classic? You just hit on something that happens to be timeless and right.

The older you get, the more you should learn to love life and appreciate the beauty that comes with age.

There's design and there's art. Good design is total harmony. There's no better designer than nature - if you look at a branch or a leaf, it's perfect. It's all function. Art is different. It's about emotion. It's about suffering and beauty - but mostly suffering!

Simplicity and sexiness, that's what people want. At a price that's not outrageous.

Nature is a source of strength.

If there is one rule for dressing, for fashion, it’s pretty much the same rule as for everything else in life: Don’t go against yourself, don’t go against your own nature. It’s only going to show.

The important thing is to take your time and not get stressed.
Diane von Furstenberg
Image
We are living in such a troubled world that fashion seems completely irrelevant. Yet...it's a very, very mysterious thing. Why all of a sudden do people like yellow? Why all of a sudden do people wear combat boots?

You know I have never met a woman who is not strong. They don't exist.

The most important relationship in your life is the relationship you have with yourself. Because no matter what happens, you will always be with yourself.

Just don't go to a place where everything is too expensive... it'll put your husband in a bad mood.

Taste is acquired. You may have to unlearn a taste for chocolate or ice cream.

I’ve always been inspired by women, and my mission was to inspire women. I always wanted to become a certain kind of woman and I became that woman through fashion. It was a dialogue. I would see that the wrap dress made those women confident, and made them act with confidence.
