Band of Outsider‘s Pre-Fall 2012 collection gathers inspiration from her 1979 classic, Manhattan. The designer, Scott Sternberg, credits his admiration of Keaton’s simplistic and smart sensibility, “That way of dressing that you see in Diane Keaton’s character – corduroy suits, button-ups, a certain type of plaid, a high neck – just seemed really fresh.” Look for the collection in stores this summer, and check out her new memoir, Then Again.

“I keep a bag of {hard candies} stashed under the front car seat. Put a little sugar in your mouth, you’ll be fine.” — Keaton
