Fashion Eccentric
Diana Vreeland: (born Diana Dalziel on July 29, 1903 in Paris, France – August 22, 1989) was a noted columnist and editor in the field of fashion. She began her work in fashion at Harper's Bazaar and later became the editor of Vogue. She inspired everyone from debutantes to drag queens with her mark on fashion. Or perhaps it was the other way around. With her heavily rouged cheekbones, mile-long lashes and red lacquer everywhere - trademarks that identified her for decades - one could imagine they were in the presence of a modern Watteau, reality presented to the viewer with a gentle caress. In terms of her personal style, Diana loved simple elegant clothing with splashy accessories. Exotic jewelry, hats and wonderful shoes were among her favorite fashion items.
