Diane von Furstenberg Women Quotations

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.

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.

Women inspire me... so I enjoy women's stories and biographies. I am interested in all women.

I believe that all women should have children. I think women are made to have children and to be mothers. I also think women have to have an identity outside the home.

Women are strong. We can do it all. But not always at the same time.

My mother said that we're so lucky to be women. It's not that men are weak. Men are men. We're two completely different animals.

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

I'm all about empowering women. And by lining them up against the wall and weighing them, surely you are making them feel more like meat than ever - even if it's little meat, if you know what I mean.

The more independent you want to be, the more generous you must be with yourself as a woman.

I always wanted to live a man's life in a woman's body

You know I have never met a woman who is not strong. They don't exist.

The success of every single woman is the inspiration for another.

You are the one that possesses the keys to your being. You carry the passport to your own happiness.

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.
