The extraordinary Mrs. Vreeland’s memoir, which manages to encapsulate one of the largest lives of the twentieth century, and publishing throughout time. Editor of Vogue and Harper’s Bazaar, and special consultant to The Costume Institute at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, Vreeland’s breezy and brilliant narrative, aided by George Plimpton and Christopher Hemphill, includes anecdotes and life stories about everyone from the Windsors to Isak Dinesen to Clark Gable to Swifty Lazar to Josephine Baker (and cheetah) to Diaghilev to Buffalo Bill…and of course covers her inimitable sense of color (pink!) and legendary bon mots. This beautiful first edition is signed by Vreeland: minor shelf wear to jacket with a few age spots to pages, otherwise bright, clean and crisp. Additional acetate cover.
