Diana Vreeland: The Eye Has to Travel

Invited

Fashion is fickle. Remaining relevant over a whole career is an accomplishment few are afforded, but Diana Vreeland had the touch. With a keen eye and strong editorial viewpoint, she steered Harper’s Bazaar and Vogue through some of the greatest revolutions in fashion history. Never a slave to trend, Vreeland embraced the fantasies in her head and brought them to life—her collaborations with larger-than-life artists and models, such as David Bailey and Verushka, led to many of the most memorable fashion images ever created. With audio clips from Vreeland’s interviews with George Plimpton as our guide, we are taken through the timeline of her life, which includes dizzying stops in Paris, London, and New York. Along the way, we are privy to the colorful collage of Vreeland’s work. These richly textured layers, lovingly pieced together by director Lisa Immordino Vreeland, are a fitting tribute to an icon whose life and work always jumped off the page.  RM
