13
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
14
I wanted to be an independent woman, a woman who could pay for her bills, a woman who could run her own life - and I became that woman.Diane Von Furstenberg

I had arranged a birthday party for him and my children, who are all Aquarians. Instead, we got married. I ran out of excuses. It was just us and my children.Diane Von Furstenberg

There's design, and there's art. Good design is total harmony. There's no better designer than nature - if you look at a branch or a leaf, it's perfect. It's all function. Art is different. It's about emotion. It's about suffering and beauty - but mostly suffering!Diane Von Furstenberg
23
The most important relationship you have in life is the one you have with yourself. And then after that, I'd say once you have that, it may be hard work, but you can actually design your life.Diane Von Furstenberg
24
I design for the woman who loves being a woman.Diane Von Furstenberg
25
I never like to think that I design for a particular person. I design for the woman I wanted to be, the woman I used to be, and - to some degree - the woman I'm still a little piece of.Diane Von Furstenberg
26
A challenging economy is always good for design. It unites necessity and functionality. You are forced to be creative with poor materials.Diane Von Furstenberg
27
The way I design generally is very much travel-oriented because that is my life. That's why I make clothes that are so light and so easy to pack and a little bit seasonless.Diane Von Furstenberg

My favorite days are the ones where I deal only with my own team, design, marketing, working on the next accessories collection.Diane Von Furstenberg

Usually, the fairy tale ends with the girl marrying the prince. But mine started as soon as the marriage was over.Diane Von Furstenberg
30
Marriage was never a destination with me.Diane Von Furstenberg

Clarity is the most important thing. I can compare clarity to pruning in gardening. You know, you need to be clear. If you are not clear, nothing is going to happen. You have to be clear. Then you have to be confident about your vision. And after that, you just have to put a lot of work in.Diane Von Furstenberg
32
Beauty is perfect in its imperfections, so you just have to go with the imperfections.Diane Von Furstenberg
33
I'm not tired of who I am. That would be sad!Diane Von Furstenberg
