Fashion Icon - Diana Vreeland

The greatest four words ever spoken by a fashion icon - "Please don't stand there!"


The Legendary Ms. Diana Vreeland

I am currently reading for perhaps the fourth or fith time in my adult life, "D.V. by Diana Vreeland". Diana Vreeland was one the most wonderfully inventive and creative people to have ever hit the fashion world. Her power was truly found in her ability to make the ordinary into the extraordinary - she coloured the lives of so many people and this book only exemplifies that. When asked if this book was fact or fiction she replied 'faction'. Who cares - it is still one of the most inspiring and delightful books ever written!






Please don't stand there! Diana Vreeland discusses life in the 18th Century as she prepares for the opening of the Costume Institute at the Metropolitan Museum of Art - circa 1971 (part 2)
