DESCRIPTION:
As fashion editor of Harper's Bazaar and editor-in-chief of Vogue, Diana Vreeland-and her passion, charm, insouciance, and genius for style--energized and inspired the fashion world for fifty years. In this glittering autobiography she takes us around the world with her, revealing her obsession with fashion high and low--pink plastic poodles, for example--and dropping timeless sayings like, "As you know, the French like the French very much." A fabulous, witty read.
Mary Louise Wilson is the star and co-author of the theatrical hit Full Gallop, a one-woman play about Vreeland.

DV Dianna Vreeland what a wonderful story teller DV Dianna Vreeland what a wonderful story teller. This book feels just like you are listing to the wonderful talented and interesting person face to face. It's like your in the room chatting about her life and views of her time with her. I'm loving reading about the interesting encounters with outrageously beautiful interesting people of the period. I was hooked from the cover and beyond.. who cares if it might not be true? Georgia C. I've heard that not every word of "D.V." is necessarily, you know, true. Well, whatever. In an age of fraud and being less than truthful to the public, it's permissible here because D.V. has such a good time, and really, we'll never know with someone who led a life that epitomized the meaning of glamor and style. D.V. is from the era just before tabloidery, going commando, and movie stars traveling with stylists, and her memoir is less about real events than how one person decided to do it all in grand style. Wh. Shawn Newmann said Five Stars. Great book!
