Diana Vreeland by Amanda Mackenzie Stuart
Portrays a visionary: a fearless innovator who inspired designers, models, photographers and artists, and who reinvented the way we think about style and where we go to think about it.
'Mackenzie Stuart has written a stylish, funny, fond and vivid bookThe only puzzle is that a subject so irresistible as Vreeland should have gone without a good biography for quite so long' - Sunday Times
'Impeccably researched and beautifully written' - Daily Mail (Book of the Week)
'The research for this book has been exhaustive, but Mackenzie Stuart wears it lightly … she writes movingly about Vreeland’s marriage without any intrusive psychoanalysis, and her warmth, enthusiasm and peculiar genius come through in entertaining anecdotes and marvellous, very italicized, quotes' - The Spectator
'Paints an enthralling picture of a mesmerising character who left an indelible print on 20th-century fashion' - Hello!
