ugly, wiry, androgynous, very rich and terribly chic: Diana Vreeland, the empress of style in the pages of Vogue, an era and is still a fashion icon of the most cited of the world. Why? What was this woman so special? Character, first of all. Then
even good taste, money, a rich husband, a good family behind him, a sharp tongue and "the slight touch of bad taste that we all need."
At 31, in 1937 he began working as an editor for Harper's Bazaar and a few years after his book had already: Why dont'you . From those notes page for more than a quarter-century eccentric advice (not necessarily practical) that made it famous. Probably everyone knows that suggested the contrary to wear golf because donavano more. Perhaps not everyone knows that also advised to wash the hair of children with advanced champagne (to make shiny) and paint a world map to the nursery to ensure they grow with a provincial point of view.
A Vogue came only in 1963 and stayed in little: nine years in which that law in the world of good taste and fashion. Then he was fired and no one ever really knew why, some say I was spending too much money for photo shoots, others claim it was no longer in step with modernity. Widowed and with little money (at least for his standards very expensive), by 1972 he was consultant to the Met for 16 years, organizing exhibitions of great success for the Costume Institute.
In a single day in March as snow is now willing to put into practice one of the most bizarre advice: "Why not wear a pair of purple mittens," and perhaps lead to a neck bone and horn to make a jump from the manicure.
