Diana Vreeland: The Eye Has to Travel

Diana Vreeland: The Eye Has to Travel chronicles 50 years of international fashion and Diana Vreeland's rich life. Called the "High Priestess of Fashion," Vreeland (1903–1998) was an American original whose impact on fashion and style was legendary. Beginning in 1936, when she became a fashion editor at Harper's Bazaar, Vreeland established herself as a controversial visionary with an astonishing ability to invent and discover fashion ideas, designers, personalities, and photographers. She was a memorable writer with a vivid personality and a talent for coining aphorisms. Vreeland's own voice and persona—strong, eloquent and often very exaggerated—guides us through her life, adventures, accomplishments, and passions.
