Diana Vreeland: The Eye Has to Travel

Diana Vreeland: The Eye has to Travel, was an interesting film but a few jarring issues made it hard for me to really enjoy it. Firstly, the decision by the film maker (who I assume is a relative of the subject) to leave unchallenged Ms Vreeland's assertion that she was "not rich".

I'm completely mystified by the fact that there are no name titles given to a single person interviewed nor subtitles used when someone being interviewed did not speak in English (keep in mind this film is in English the majority of time so I guess those interviews in French weren't important for us to know). I watched this in Hulu so unless they released an incomplete version, I'm at a loss to understand such an amateur decision to leave your audience in the dark.

I found this documentary of the life and career of Diana Vreeland to be very fascinating. The journey of her life is conveyed through recorded interviews she game to writer George Plimpton , who was writing her autobiography "D.

Even though I'm really not a very "fashion-conscious" fellow (as a lot of other people certainly seem to be) - I was still quite impressed with this first-rate bio-documentary that focuses in on the life and times of the "Empress of Fashion", Diana Vreeland.Back in the mid-20th century (spanning the years from 1940-1970) - Diana Vreeland was not only credited for her vast influence on the ever-changing face of women's fashions - But, she was also noted for being the trusted fashion-adviser to such high-profile women as Jacqueline Kennedy.

This is an art history of the twentieth century as seen through fashion, its most glittering art form. Weaving together video footage, magazine layouts, and first-hand accounts, the filmmakers trace the life of DV, one of fashion's all-time most imaginative thinkers.

Her first name Diana is pronounced "Deeanna). Unsure if that was to sound better with Vreeland or was the original pronunciation.
