A review by ampersandinc
D.V. by Diana Vreeland

3.0

I recently watched a documentary about the life of Diana Vreeland (1903-1989) and discovered there was a companion book available. Basically it’s a collection of witty and colourful conversations Diana conducted while filming. She reminisces about her past: growing up in Paris in the early 1900s, living in London, and finally settling down in New York City, married with two boys. Diana came from a privileged background and she married well! She led a glamorous social life and was a fashion icon for over fifty years holding positions like Fashion Editor at Harper’s Bazaar, Editor-in-Chief at Vogue and consultant at the Costume Institute at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. She was quite an eccentric character and inspired many in the fashion world.
