Uh no.

[@jessefram2432]

did she say this at any point?

[@jakecavendish3470]

I used to work with her and she was very funny and very self-deprecating. Someone once asked her about her ancestry at a lunch and she replied "I've always assumed that somewhere along the line it involved a horse and an old boot"

[@FrontRowVideo]

Wonderful quote, thank you for sharing! Do you have any recordings or unpublished writings of hers that can be shared?

[@SanderSanchezMusic]

Here after All Stars 7 ! Thx RAJA

Raja Gemini brought me here. Who else? 👋🏼

[@breznevolaso4090]

Others may thought of her as the crazy IT woman back then in FASHION. But for me, she's a woman with class, with style, with broad thinking about the industry she's getting into. The interview maybe old, but, it's timeless, one that never goes out of style.

[@travismaupin6617]

Absolutely

Incredible how they mention The Queen in such a way. Absolutely brilliant. This interview was 1977, The Queen’s silver jubilee. & here we are today, 2022, right in the middle of her Platinum Jubilee.

The way she stood up for her around 5.00! ❤️

such an Icon…love Mrs Vreeland

I love that watching drag race has ultimately led to me seeing this

[@elenbrandt290]

i adored DV - what a right classy and amusing lady she was. They broke the mold.

[@evunee]

PURPLE MITTENS!!

[@arundelmercure553]

She's always fascinating to listen to, or read her aphorisms and bon mots, her memories. Many embroidered, but who cares? She loved making a story better, more romantic. A real life Auntie Mame. Her voice and accent here reminds me of Lauren Bacall. Who DV loved in her pre-fame modelling days. She knew everyone.

[@pyeostello]

raja should've won that snatch game, she did the queen justice

[@Antifag1977]

LMAO

[@LonganoCantCant]

No.

[@zeldasmith6154]

She's so smart. She and Lauren Bacall sound almost identical. She's so charming and totally focused on the present.

[@gucciysl]

She did discovered Lauren Bacall.

[@mehdontcare100]

i thought that too

[@MegAplin]

​@gucciysl then Slim Keith saw her photos and showed them to her husband at that time Howard Hawks....And, we got to watch Lauren Bacall, lucky us!

Voice heavy smoker....they smoked alot back then.😢

[@_Ye_p]

I love her!

[@caragamer654]

What a lovely response to his question about royalty

[@VOICEOFASTROLOGY]

One can only imagine her response to the question "what do you think of Kardashian wearing Marilyn Monroe's dress to the Met Gala?"

[@Izzybaggins]

Im not a fan of Kim but I am a fan of Diana and I honestly think she would’ve love it and I still don’t don’t understand the big deal of Kim wearing it, I mean both beautiful women started their careers after the scandal of naked pictures/video and both managed to take the bad and turn it into a successful career, for both the media and public took interest on if they had plastic surgery or not, their love lives, both married several times with athletes and showbiz men, both accused of cheating and sleeping with married men anyway…. who cares really more important than a dress is that both defeated society trying to shame them for being sexual and made it into success and that’s why I think Diana would’ve love it, she empowered other women.

[@smax333]

If anything crucifying kim for wearing Marilyn's dress is the complete opposite to what Marilyn stood for. Do I think it was appropriate, not really but beating it to the ground like shes committed a war crime is tired.

[@STUDY0421]

I am not here because of rupaul, like I see many of the other commenters here, are. I saw Dianas name and next thing I knew the video was over! Weights in the bottom of the dress is the most genius thing I have ever heard of, I literally said, “wow”.

[@a.rrucker5450]

@@missyperry733 when I watched the documentary about Diana Vreeland, "the eye has to travel", that's when I realized that Anna Wintour didnt do anything revolutionary when she started at Vogue, she simply applied what Diana Vreeland had already established at Vogue, celebrity coverage, celebrities on the cover, fantasy, beauty, etc. She simply applied what was already there. Although during Vreelands yrs at Vogue, and especially towards the end of her reign, Vogue was out of step with the times, no longer could the magazine support, a 15 day shot to some exotic location, with 100 trunks of clothes, etc, .

it really isn’t facile nonsense if you listen properly. i find her incredibly intelligent and ahead of her time

And in so many senses ignorant of the material and economic realities of the thing she is supposedly expert in. Facile is the perfect word for this guff. 👏🏾

You mean you were dull enough to believe you understood it. Clearly you haven't. Now you're blatantly ignorant to the point where you dismiss her intellect simply because of your own incompetence.

Did the interviewer star as an Oompa Loompa in Charle and the Choco Factory?

[@zacharywalzer696]

Diana Vreeland characterized the nature of her downfall at Vogue perfectly herself, "And designers do design for those who can afford it, true?" "Yes!" Grace Mirabella, her successor, would eschew the expense of fashion and embrace the prêt-a-porter and accessible fashions, only to fall out of favor when the high-couture look came back into style, and Anna Wintour took over. Nevertheless, no one remembers Grace Mirabella, while Diana Vreeland, and now Anna Wintour have graced themselves into the annals of pop culture. However, Grace Mirabella wasn't a total bore, in fact she had a good business and fashion sense. After she died, I read her memoir and and grew to admire her.

You are mistaken. She wasn't a snob. She loved lives of all kinds and folks of all shapes.

[@markm7347]

One of the perils of being up-to-date in fashion is that one almost always looks ridiculous in retrospect. Both Vreeland and the interviewer look bizarre, poorly made-up, and unattractive to modern eyes---the strange, heavy make-up, chaotic hairstyle, and extremely unattractive outfit. The average office worker of the day who dressed conservatively would almost always look better than her if you saw them in photographs now. To her credit, she refused to criticise Queen Elizabeth. The Queen, who was viewed as dowdy at the time, she looks far more presentable and chic than this woman in any photo from the 1970s.

[@brentdsmith1]

Unattractive to modern eyes? She was beyond chic even to this day. We need more characters like her, not more "conservatively dressed office workers".

[@davidcremin3837]

She looks absolutely stunning what are you talking about guess you just look creativity and vision
