More quotes by 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
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.
Diane von Furstenberg
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?
Diane von Furstenberg
I gave up on my looks a long time ago.
Diane von Furstenberg
For me, traveling and living are the same. How you travel is a symbol of your life.
Diane von Furstenberg
Simplicity and sexiness, that's what people want. At a price that's not outrageous.

Now is the time to become a myth.
Diane von Furstenberg
You know I have never met a woman who is not strong. They don't exist.
Diane von Furstenberg
If you're trying to lose weight, you just have to eat less. I mean that.
Diane von Furstenberg
As the president of the Council of Fashion Designers of America, I represent the designers. And while we can by no means take the blame for eating disorders, we can play our part in addressing this important issue.
Diane von Furstenberg
The only way for a relationship to survive, I think, is to have no sex at all. After all, you marry for friendship, for companionship - and passion after a while ... pfffft. I mean, does it excite you when your left hand touches your right?
Diane von Furstenberg
You cannot have a healthy body without drinking a great deal of water. But remember, you can't just drink a glass of water and tell a glass of water to please go straight to your skin and moisturize your complexion. Water has to be there all the time, doing what it does naturally in a healthy body.

When I was a little girl, if I didn't eat my soup, my mother would say, 'You have to think of all the Chinese children who have nothing to eat.' But now, for my children, Chinese people make everything, and for my grandchildren, they buy everything.

I said that Mrs Obama has been extremely supportive of American designers, but clearly we were disappointed that she chose to wear a British designer for the state dinner...From there, I was so embarrassed that I am definitely going to write to her. She has been super supportive to American designers.
Diane von Furstenberg
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.
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
If you pay attention, everyone is a novel. The most boring person, if you sit down and really listen, is someone interesting.
