| Description |
Described by the Chicago Tribune as 'fashion's high priestess', from the late 1930s to 1972 Diana Vreeland was fashion editor of Harper's Bazaar, then Vogue in New York. She is the woman who said: 'The bikini is the most important thing since the atom bomb.' Her dynamic personality is celebrated in Mark Hampton and Mary Louise Parker's one-woman play. [From listed website]: Vreeland has just returned home to New York after four months in Europe - a trip she took after being fired from Vogue magazine. She throws an impromptu dinner party in the hope that a wealthy friend who is invited will bankroll her in starting a magazine of her own. Other friends, however, attempt to persuade her to take a job at the famed Metropolitan Museum of Art. In her distinctive style, once she decides in which direction her life will move, she goes at it 'full gallop'. |
