Diane von Fürstenberg

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

"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."

"Ive been working seriously in giving fashion a place that it deserves."

"I wanted to be an empowered woman, and I became an empowered woman. And now I want to empower every woman. And I do it through my clothes, I do it through my words, I do it through my money, I do it through everything."

"Confidence. If you have it, you can make anything look good."

"The girls who were unanimously considered beautiful often rested on their beauty alone. I felt I had to do things, to be intelligent and develop a personality in order to be seen as attractive. By the time I realized maybe I wasnt plain and might even possibly be pretty, I had already trained myself to be a little more interesting and informed."
