Diana Vreeland (1903-1989) was hired as a columnist at
Harper's Bazaar by Carmel Snow in 1932. From 1936 to 1962,
she was the magazine's Fashion Editor. Following Bazaar,
Vreeland was the editor in chief of Vogue from 1963 to 1971,
and later worked at the Costume Institute at the Metropolitan
Museum of Art.

president of the Diana Vreeland Estate. He is the author of

"What raises [Diana Vreeland: Modern Woman] above
the rest is that it replicates the actual pages laid out by
Vreeland, as seen in Harper's each month from the '30s to the '60s.
They elevate the book to the level of visual primer: a 'how to'
for stylists, photographers, models and, above all, art
directors. . . As this book shows, Vreeland knew more about the
value of white space and the pithy epithet than any other editor of
her time."
-THE BUSINESS OF FASHION
"This is a must have, must read, must see book that can only
delight those who revel in fashion. Alexander Vreeland reminds
us all that his grandmother was indeed the high priestess of
fashion. Thank you for this great souvenir and recollection of just
how astoundingly and fashionably brilliant she was!"
