Description
Book SynopsisPortrays 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.
Trade Review'Mackenzie Stuart has written a stylish, funny, fond and vivid book. The 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!
