Diane von Furstenberg quotes about
block simple dresses
I had a very down-to-earth product, my wrap dress, which was really a uniform. It was just a simple little cotton-jersey dress that everybody loved and everybody wore. That one dress sold about 3 or 4 million. I would see 20, 30 dresses walking down one block. All sorts of different women. It felt very good. Young and old, and fat and thin, and poor and rich.
school america citizens
I was born in Belgium. I went to school in England and in Switzerland, then I came to America, so I really feel like I am a citizen of the world.
strong impressed not-strong
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.
inspiring want intriguing
Be the Woman You Want to Be....
mother strong growing-up
All women are strong. My mother survived Auschwitz, and fear wasn't an option when we were growing up. If we were afraid of the dark, we were put into the closet until we weren't.
fashion care i-care
I don't care about fashion, I care about women
fashion mean play
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.
interesting down-and pay
If you pay attention, everyone is a novel. The most boring person, if you sit down and really listen, is someone interesting.
mail communicate
I communicate mostly via e-mail and receive hundreds of e-mails a day.
fashion today passed-away
Today designer Alexander McQueen passed away...His talent was immense and he will remain immortal in the history of Fashion.
What you eat is everything. What you eat is what you are.
healthy important spirit
It's more important to be healthy and of good spirit than it is to be thin, just as it's more important to be an attractive woman than a fashionable one.
boring habit good-habits
Don't let any of your good habits get boring.
Prepare your food attractively and serve it nicely.
