在这本书中,阿曼达•麦肯齐•斯图亚特(Amanda Mackenzie Stuart)描绘了一个有远见的人:一个为设计师、模特,摄影师和艺术家带去灵感的无畏创新者。戴安娜•弗里兰(Diana Vreeland)重塑了我们对风格的思考方式以及寻找风格的方式。作为编辑,策展人和说话风趣的人,她留下了持久的印记,并且一直是几代时尚爱好者的偶像。
Described by an admirer as ‘the High Druidess of fashion, the Supreme Pontiff, Perpetual Curate and Archpresbyter of elegance, the Vicaress of Style’, Diana Vreeland is the cloth from which 21st-century fashion editors are cut. Diana joined Harper’s Bazaar
in 1936, where her pizzazz and singular point of view quickly made her a major creative force in fashion. During her time at Harper’s Bazaar and later as the editor-in-chief of Vogue, the self-styled ‘Empress of fashion’ launched Twiggy’s career,
advised Jackie Kennedy, and enjoyed the full swing of sixties’ London. In Diana’s Vogue, women were encouraged to resist fashion orders from on high, and to use their own imaginations in re-creating themselves – much as Vreeland
spent her own life doing.
In this book, Amanda Mackenzie Stuart portrays a visionary: a fearless innovator who inspired designers, models, photographers and artists. Diana Vreeland reinvented the way we think about style and where we go to find it. As an editor, curator and wit, she made a lasting mark and remains an icon for generations of fashion lovers
