Enjoy the imagination, vision, sass and style of Diana Vreeland, in a brief oral biography  in Particular Passions.  It was Diana Vreeland's seminal and blockbuster exhibitions at the Metropolitan Museum of Art that elevated fashion to fine art.

The bag above represents for me the creativity and courage that Ms Vreeland brought to her life's work.

The chapter available for all e-readers at Amazon and Apple. is probably the only purchase you'll find during  Fashion Week that is a true bargain and will give you pleasure at $.99.
