"I was so excited to read this autobiography since she was a legend in the fashion world and the personal inspiration behind the fashion company I'm currently working for. I stopped reading at about page 50 when it dawned on me that Diana Vreeland was the Paris Hilton of her time. She was a spoiled, pampered, uneducated woman (she never went to high school) who enjoyed shocking people, and had an overly high opinion of her own sparkle. She became famous and powerful purely on the basis of her money and family.
Actually, her style reminded me of the autobiography of Elsa Schiaparrelli in the rambling DAH-LING type stream of consciousness. The difference to me was that Schiap actually contributed something original and meaningful to the world of art and fashion. She had a business and felt a responsibility to work. Vreeland..not so much."
"Eccentric kook and former Vogue fashion editor Diana Vreeland makes devil-in-Prada Anna Wintour seem like the boring girl next door. Vreeland is a great storyteller, and the book is filled with glamour and exoticism, though the vapidity of it can begin to wear you down after a while (her completely naive, self-centered account of WWII was rather shocking, for instance). Still an enjoyable read, if only for such priceless--and sometimes ridiculous--bon mots as "Lettuce is divine, although I'm not sure it's really a food" and "Pink is the navy blue of India.""
