D.V.

Updated: 7 Sep 2020
“An evening with D.V. is almost as marvelous as an evening with D.V. [herself]—same magic, same spontaneity and, above all, never a boring moment.”—Bill BlassD.V. is the mesmerizing autobiography of one of the 20th century’s greatest fashion icons, Diana Vreeland, the one-time fashion editor of Harper’s Bazaar and editor-in-chief of Vogue, whose incomparable style-sense, genius, and flair helped define the world of haute couture for fifty years. The incomparable D.V. proves herself a brilliant raconteur as she carries the reader along on her whirlwind life—from English palaces to the nightclubs of Paris in the 1930s to the heart of New York high society, hobnobbing with everyone who was anyone, from Queen Mary to Clark Gable to Coco Chanel.

I think I might reread “D.V.,” by Diana Vreeland. It’s one of the campest books I’ve ever read in my life, and I’m fairly certain that you should take quite a lot of the anecdotes in it with a pinch of salt — you do spend your time reading it with one eyebrow raised, muttering, “Yeah, right” — but it’s incredibly entertaining. Every time I see a paperback copy of it, I buy it in order to give it to someone as a gift. I’ve bought it many, many times.

The most entertaining memoir I've ever read, in the classic Diana Vreeland style. Colorful, witty, glamorous and inspiring
