As readers learned, Diana Vreeland was not only expert at creating beauty and excitement, but also at recognizing the exquisite when she saw it.
When a guest arrived at the Park Avenue apartment of Diana Vreeland, he was greeted in the alcove before the front door by a full-length painting of the glamorous but fey young Diana in a pink cotton gingham and white organdy dress under a green parasol. As readers learned, Diana Vreeland was not only expert at creating beauty and excitement, but also at recognizing the exquisite when she saw it. She transformed herself, her apartment, her magazine pages and later her Costume Institute exhibitions. But how she did this remained mysterious.
An epic self-mythologizer, she had an incredible aura of glamour, a great eye, and a genius for life. A dynamic cast of characters accompanies Diana Vreeland's story

A look at a life of high style - and high drama. STEP LIVELY: An image of Vreeland that appeared in Harper's Bazaar in 1936. She had just begun her 26-year reign at the magazine. I tried to pick out gems from the book so people would get a real sense of who she was. Mrs. Vreeland was like Andy Warhol or Liza Minnelli, one of those faces we always saw in New York that left such a big impression. She was such a forceful person.
