Thanks for sharing. What an original she was. It seems like there are so few true innovators in the fashion publishing world these days, I guess because most magazines and fashion houses are owned by conglomerates. Oh well. She was a great romantic who inspired and terrified many! I am obsessed with DV, her style and her home and I’m dying to see this doc. Thanks for sharing. What an original she was.

Vreeland seems to advocate personal style which knowingly breaks rules from time to time. Both appear to be reminding us to dress to please ourselves: Post by addressing those who seek to fit in, and Vreeland by addressing those who wish to experiment to establish their own style.
