"Diana Vreeland was the fashion editor of the twentieth century. She had an incredible aura of glamour and a genius for enlivening life with enticing fantasy. Diana Vreeland goes behind the scenes to tell her story - how, with innate talent and hard work, the imaginative and ambitious daughter of an old New York society family became a legendary arbiter of fashion and style.
It reveals the growth of her professional prowess and details her personal history, as it captures Vreeland's pizzazz, humor, flair and flamboyant personality.".
"This book is illustrated with more than three hundred illustrations, photographs and drawings, many by the best fashion photographers of the time - Louise Dahl-Wolfe, Irving Penn, Cecil Beaton and Brassai. Here, too, are the trendsetters, artists, models and celebrities with whom Vreeland worked and played, including Coco Chanel, Yves Saint Laurent, Hubert de Givenchy, Oscar de la Renta, Elsie de Wolfe, Cecil Beaton, Andy Warhol, Truman Capote and Jackie Kennedy."--BOOK JACKET.
