Diana Vreeland - Editor

[Belapuente]

She was a self made woman as far as her fashion style, and fashion knowledge goes.

She had her own, distinctive voice .

Mary Quant, great promoter of the mini-skirt, was given great coverage by Vogue. Ms. Vreeland was friendly with Jacqueline Kennedy, and many international personalities. Below, another of Diana's darlings, Yve St.Laurent with models

Is that really Verushka??? The height says it is - but the face - I guess she's been transformed - and it's so good for the skin, right, the classic Vreeland quote

I love this quote
"Elegance is innate. It has nothing to do with being well dressed. Elegance is refusal."

Has anyone read her autobiography - D.V?

 

[iluvjeisa]

Yes, and I can recommend it It gives a lot of insight into what kind of life creates such an extraordinary person. And then, it's filled with quotes from her, which is always a plus.

As it happened, I just had D.V on my desk, so let me share a random excerpt:

"My sister, Alexandra, has violet eyes. She's four and a half yerars younger than me, so she was still a baby when my family moved from Paris to NY in 1914...[We would be out in central park and people would stop to look at her]....As soon as I saw people looking, I'd run over to the pram, because I was so proud of her.

"Oh, what a beautiful child!", they'd say.

"Yes", I'd always say, "and she has violet eyes..."

Then there was the most terrible scene between my mother and me. One day she said to me. "It's too bad that you have such a beautiful sister and that you are so extremely ugly and so terribly jealous of her. This, of course, is why you are so impossible to deal with."

It didn't offend me that much. I simply walked out of the room. I never bothered to explain that I loved my sister and was more proud of her than of anything in the world, that I absolutely adored her.....Parents, you know, can be terrbile.

Her italics = my underlining.
