Some people were born fabulous and Diana Vreeland is certainly one of them. Not even an unsupportive mother telling her she was ugly as a child would stop her drive and ambition.
This is an entertaining and intimate portrait of the Harper's Bazaar and Vogue fashion editor whose magazine career lasted from the late 1930s to the early 70s. The director, Vreeland's granddaughter-in-law Lisa Immordino Vreeland, uses archival interviews of Diana Vreeland effectively to portray her innate sense of style and gift of the gab. With one golden one-liner after another, this fascinating woman speaks candidly on her life and work. To call her a trendsetter in the world of fashion doesn't do her justice.
"Give them what they don't know they want yet" was her motto.
