Diana Vreeland (1903-1989)

Diana Vreeland was a noted columnist and editor in the field of fashion. Her publishing career began in 1936 as columnist for Harper’s Bazaar. 

Carmel Snow, the editor of Harper’s Bazaar, was impressed with Vreeland’s clothing style and asked her to work at the magazine.  She joined Vogue in 1962, where she was editor-in-chief from 1963 until 1971.

After that she worked as director for the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute,  where she elevated fashion into an art form, changing the way clothing and accessories are displayed in museums.

Diana Vreeland is responsible for launching many iconic careers, establishing countless trends that have stood the test of time, and bringing an unprecedented and incontrovertible perspective to the fashion world.

Today´s Elle, Vogue or Vanity Fair yet have the Vreeland’s imprint. Diana was a creative visionary: her first column for Harper’s Bazaar, “Why Don’t You…” is the precursor for today’s tweets; her famous staff memos, the world’s first fashion blog.
