DIANA VREELAND THE EYE HAS TO TRAVEL

Diana Vreeland The Eye Has To Travel - This documentary traces the life of Diana Vreeland, the legendary fashion editor of both Harper's Bazaar and then Vogue, in their heyday.  Much of it is told in her own words while being interviewed by George Plimpton, but it's rounded out with comments from her sons and many of the models and people she worked with at the magazines.  Visually, it's a trip down memory lane to those colorful large magazines of the 1960s and 70s, and the exotic spreads she would do to showcase fashion.  She was a character and a savant and she used her power to create unusual beauty.  She was an original.
