Surprisingly entertaining and informative - lovely passages about the transitions in the US, as reflected in fashion, in the 60s and 70s. I expected to be underwhelmed, but I think this autobiography will stick with me for a long time.

Interesting biography, a bit tedious at times, it could have used more editing; parts for it went on and on about trivial details (and in some instances pages later went on about it/them again), at other times there was only a paragraph or two on some information upon which she could/should have expounded. I was unaware of Alva's involvement in the suffrage movement and this part made interesting reading (though this was one area that did need an editor).

A pretty good book. At first I thought that the authors style was lame, but after Diana went to work it picked uo
considerably and stayed exciting to the end. The sections on Harpers, Vogue and the Museum are all wonderful.
The author knows that Vreeland was a consummate liar about her childhood and goes far to disprove all her
ravubgs.
