Diane von Furstenberg Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages von Diane von Furstenberg:

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.

All women are the same, really: They are strong, but they are afraid of their own strength.

Diane von Furstenberg

I always wanted to be a femme fatale. Even when I was a young girl, I never really wanted to be a girl. I wanted to be a woman.

Go to a place where you're not going to be stressed, because a honeymoon itself can be a stressful thing.

Diane von Furstenberg

The most important thing is to be healthy, to drink a lot of water, to fight gravity as much as possible. I am one of the few people who decided I wasn't going to do any invasion with my face.

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

Diane von Furstenberg

The fashion industry has a responsibility to represent a healthy image of women, but to start weighing them and putting them against a wall and making them feel like animals? No.

Diane von Furstenberg

I travel in so many different ways; I travel high, I rough it... it all depends on who I travel with.

Diane von Furstenberg

I have always been attracted to clothes designed by women. Coco Chanel, Vionnet, Norma Kamali, Donna Karan. They have a little more - how do I put it? - understanding.

Italy will always have the best food.

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

Animals come from nature. They were not designed. All my inspiration comes from nature, whether it's an animal or the layout of bark or of a leaf. Sometimes my patterns are very bold, and you can barely see where they come from, but all the textures and all the prints come out of nature.

Diane von Furstenberg

Fashion can be this mysterious thing that you can't explain.

Diane von Furstenberg

The real story is that I am very free, that I've managed to be who I wanted to be without compromising.

Attitude is everything.

My son loves the Hotel du Cap, in the south of France.

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 am a traveler. I am a nomad. I rarely sleep in the same bed more than three or four nights. And I know hotel life better than anyone.

Diane von Furstenberg

I am a fast dresser, 30 minutes max with hair and makeup. I don't have a uniform, but I like to be comfortable.

Diane von Furstenberg

I design for the woman who loves being a woman.

Diane von Furstenberg

If you like trekking, go to the Himalayas or Peru. I love those kinds of trips. But it all depends on your own life and what you like and what you expect.

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

If you're a good person, the goodness will continue through your descendants.

Bali and the Aman resorts are all very luxurious, great places to go.

I loved the seventies.

When you get into a hotel room, you lock the door, and you know there is a secrecy, there is a luxury, there is fantasy. There is comfort. There is reassurance.

Usually, the fairy tale ends with the girl marrying the prince. But mine started as soon as the marriage was over.

I was terrified the first time that I had a big problem in my business. I was obviously terrified when they diagnosed me with cancer in 1994. I was terrified when my son used to drive too fast. But I do believe in the fact that fear is not an option, so I always try to face it and not be afraid.

Diane von Furstenberg

I never modeled myself after anyone. The person who had most influence on me was my mother, but it was really for her strength and courage more than her style, even though she had a lot of style. In a weird way, looking at pictures of me when I was 17 or 18, I was dressing the same way. I haven't changed very much.

Diane von Furstenberg

You need, in your closet, clothes that will - that you can use in many different ways. Clothes that make you fell comfortable, clothes that make you feel 'you.'

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

Work and children I could have. But the husband was just too much.

Diane von Furstenberg

All I can tell you is that I've never met a woman who is not strong, but sometimes they don't let it out. Then there's a tragedy, and then all of a sudden that strength comes. My message is let the strength come out before the tragedy.
