9. Diana Vreeland: The Eye Has to Travel (2011)
From her years at Harper’s Bazaar or Vogue to reinvigorating the Metropolitan Museum’s Costume Institute, Diana Vreeland one of the last century’s greatest talents.
Diana Vreeland was one of the leading figures in fashion through eccentric self-taught skill and a bold stylistic fearlessness.
This documentary takes you on a trip with this fashion pioneer, starting with her youth years in Paris until she became a leading magazine fashion columnist and editor.
Vreeland challenged the fashion preconceptions and presented a new definition of beauty where beautiful clothes were just the beginning for something deeper.
The NY Times reported that “Some of that life was ridiculous, yet it’s clear that when Vreeland pushed purple mittens, she wasn’t just doling out giddily eccentric counsel, she was also issuing a call for independence, individuality, nonconformity.”
