Two years into his now-legendary fashion quarterly, Stephen Gan gave the Visionaire treatment to this commemorative publication for the Costume Institute’s tribute to its creative hurricane, Diana Vreeland. It consists of a faux leopard-print slipcase enclosing a red portfolio with the initials “DV” latticed to the inside covers. Inside there is a booklet of text and a section of loose pages in which various fashion personalities offer colorful portraits of Mrs. Vreeland—both figuratively and literally. Contributors include Cecil Beaton, Billy Baldwin, Rosamund Bernier, C.Z. Guest, and many others.
“Her style obsessions are, of course, like everything about Vreeland, not important because one woman loved them, but because she made us all love them.”
--Richard Martin
