More quotes by Diane von Furstenberg
Fashion is mysterious, as a rule. Why are blue jeans a classic? You just hit on something that happens to be timeless and right.
Diane von Furstenberg
I used to be very insecure about my curly hair, because I lived in a country where everybody had blonde straight hair.
Diane von Furstenberg
There is nothing more thrilling than arriving in a new place on your own and feeling the sense of possibility and excitement that brings with it.
Diane von Furstenberg
Personal style is accepting who you are.

In Sardinia one summer my best friend Marisa Berenson and I ironed each other's hair. We used a hot laundry iron and took turns putting our hair on the ironing board, literally ironing it. That's a recipe for straightening that may be highly successful, but is definitely not recommended.

My clothes are great for a honeymoon: They're light and sexy, colorful and pretty, and not expensive.

The biggest mistake a woman can make is not to be herself in public or private.
Diane von Furstenberg
That wonderful and terribly frightening journey of self-discovery. That process of growth, of being an independent person, of learning who you are and what you want from life, is the real secret of life, happiness and beauty.
Diane von Furstenberg
I always knew the woman I wanted to be-I knew I wanted to be a woman who was independent a woman who was in the driving seat, a woman who didn't need for the man to decide.

I am not allowed to be afraid. My mother made me like that. As a child, if I was afraid of the dark, she would lock me in the closet. Things like this. And she would talk about the time she spent in the concentration camp, but not about being afraid, only about the good side of it.
Diane von Furstenberg
Don't be afraid of your own strength.
Diane von Furstenberg
The older I get, the more impressed I am with women. I have yet to meet a woman who is not strong. They don't exist.
Diane von Furstenberg
Style is something each of us already has, all we need to do is find it.
Diane von Furstenberg
I didn't know what I wanted to do, but I always knew the woman I wanted to be.
Diane von Furstenberg
The other day I went to a school in Harlem to talk to some 7th graders [12-year-olds] and I said, ‘If I have to give you some advice, the most important thing is: the sooner you become your own best friend, the better your life will be,’
Diane von Furstenberg
The girls who were unanimously considered beautiful often rested on their beauty alone. I felt I had to do things, to be intelligent and develop a personality in order to be seen as attractive. By the time I realized maybe I wasn't plain and might even possibly be pretty, I had already trained myself to be a little more interesting and informed.
Diane von Furstenberg
I never try to make a major fashion statement but I want to be the friend in a woman's closet. I make dresses that women get laid in.
Diane von Furstenberg
It's very often true that some women look better without makeup, but that's only during the day.
Diane von Furstenberg
I get ideas about what's essential when packing my suitcase.

Generosity is the best investment.
