Diana Vreeland. The majestic goddess of all that was indefinate, incapturable, umeasureable; she who was fashion itself. Rouge up to her ears, up to her hairline! she who spoke in riddles, with those eyes, in that smoke fused voice. Balenciaga, Chanel, Vogue, the Metropolitan... a piano tinkles, swarovski krystals glitter, a cigarette butt dies on a velvet carpet. Unshined shoes are the end of civilisation. Paprikas, peppers, no, thats not right... perhaps a splash of red wine? You are your own creation, darling. Be as interesting and fabulous as you please. I adore artifice.
"Toenails should be painted even when wearing boots. You carry yourself
differently"
-Diana Vreeland
"I think your imagination is your reality"
-Diana Vreeland
"The body must stay fit. Fit people like themselves much better"
-Diana Vreeland
"Fashion is part of the daily air and 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
"A girl can do a great deal for herself you know. There is something in
the mind... the clothes, the style, even the education!"
-Diana Vreeland
"I've always loved artifice. The world that we live in is artificial,
so why not dramatize and fantasise, the women, the clothes...?"
-Diana Vreeland
