Diana Vreeland New York Apartment | INSIDE Diana Vreeland's Home Tour | Interior Design

[@Dakiniwoman]

I will never forget a knock at my door and opening it to find Diana Vreeland standing in front of me... Her deep voice saying "I am Diana Vreeland, from Vogue Magazine"... I would like to feature your work in Vogue.... and so it went and I had my work in two Vogue Editions. Yes, this woman was absolutely unforgettable! I am so happy to see this glimpse into her home.

[@poddy6530]

Now that's a good story... Well done for getting your work in vogue. What a thrill that must have been

[@collette6103]

Wow. What an honor. Any references to your work to show us. Congrats you have held that memory as a treasure.

[@jmmo4226]

That was a blessing. She was UNIQUE and beyond human and kind

[@jammasterjay4298]

A creative genius

[@HenryRice-sj6kd]

Diana not only an Icon In fashion, lover of art with an incredible panache for style & taste!

[@fashionmomentswithellen]

Thank you so much for your kind words! Diana was truly a fashion icon and her love for art and style continues to inspire us all.

[@nextwave1314]

I wish we all had her confidence.

[@user-ke8st8jc1v]

You’re right about that because that’s all she had

[@chowchops]

The apartment reflected HER. It wouldn’t be for everyone, but she was an individual and wasn’t afraid to be who she was. I think she was magnificent. And good design always represents the personality of the owner.

[@fashionmomentswithellen]

I completely agree! It's so refreshing to see someone embrace their individuality and let it shine through in their living space. It's a true reflection of their personality and makes the apartment feel like a home.

[@MagnusVonBenz]

it reflects her limited taste of style

[@chowchops]

@@MagnusVonBenz I have no idea what that means.

[@LaraSierra28]

I remember the days in the 60s when that month's Vogue would arrive in our mailbox. My mother and I would sit side-by-side on the living room sofa, marveling at page upon page of Vreeland's bold creativity. Her fearless approach to design and collecting was such an inspiration to so many of us in those days. And we never worried about dust! The point was a sui generis personal style that reflected our life journey and surprised and delighted our visitors.

[@pepperjonesugoChristian]

Ms. Vreeland is one of my favorite people.

[@shariarnold9649]

She sure liked the color red!

[@French-Kiss24]

She was the greatest! Vogue was never the same after she was gone.

Yes! And Ms. Apfel reminds me of Ms. Vreeland. They were both icons of tremendous personal style more than fashion, and entirely unique in vision. Thanks for your comment!

[@ed_leonardi]

The epitome of Park Ave chic. Love her and her style!

[@Colorbrush21]

I read that Diana Vreeland was grossly underpaid for what she did for Vogue. By comparison, Anna Wintour is very well paid. Someone said she had nothing of real value. That is probably why Diana was so innovative in using such vibrant color and over-the-top decor.

[@drobbi]

I was in that apartment many times, having dinner with Mrs. Vreeland. She was terrific. That first image of the apartment -- I'm not sure that is in her place, actually. It was not a large apartment, and the rooms pictured in that first photograph are neither her living room nor the dining room. I don't recognize it. And no, the place never smelled of cigarette smoke!

[@willowhart1425]

[@andrewbrendan1579]

Zow-E. That apartment is something else. I've seen a picture or two of it, but never this much. Thanks for sharing all this. I couldn't live there, but it was wonderful and just right for a wonderfuly lady. Viewers of this video might enjoy Diana Vreeland's autobiographical book "D.V.", terrific reading material.

[@ratgirl13]

It’s a wonderful place to visit, but I wouldn’t want to live there. It’s spectacular and inspiring and matches her aesthetic, and I know my aesthetic would be considered toned down by her standards, and that’s okay-to each their own. I enjoyed the video very much. Thanks you.

[@fashionmomentswithellen]

I totally agree!

[@davidson-mielellc980]

The interiors were designed by Billy Baldwin, not DV. Although she was wonderful and fascinating, give credit to the interior designer.

[@MTMF.london]

Everyone in the interior design sector knows it was Billy Baldwin who executed Diana Vreeland's vision. She told him that she wanted it to look like a garden from Hell.

[@mfb5242]

So glad you said that and gave Mr. Baldwin his due! Diana certainly would have!

Affascinante la casa, gran gusto in ogni cosa, lei priva di bellezza, ma ricchissima .

[@Wanamaker1946]

The apartment was a labor of love. The photography wasn’t the best to compliment it…as the flash was used. I can well imagine it to’ve been very warm and inviting with 20th century incandescent lighting and real candle light when entertaining. Her apartment co-op is no larger than my own. I would’ve loved to have known her.

[@fashionmomentswithellen]

Good point!

[@rturney6376]

Thank you 🙏 🎉 ❤ enjoyed the experience!!

[@mon_avis2978]

Some of the rooms, especially the very busy red ones, reminded me of some of Lee Radziwill's interior décor. The floor-to-ceiling printed fabric on walls and then upholstering the furniture must have been something that appealed specifically to the elites of the 1960s. The profusion of prints, more-is-more, was of a particular _zeitgeist_ that no longer exists.

[@Bunny-ch2ul]

That more is more is more is a response to being able to comfortably travel the world. This was the birth of globalization, and people who could afford it liked to show that they'd been everywhere. That works really well with a super maximalist style. My grandparents were diplomats and had a WASP-ier more subdued take on that style. They didn't go in for pattern as much as rich colors, but it was zillions of books in every room, and art and foreign objects for days. I personally LOVE this kind of maximalism, but it's a tough look to pull off authentically because you have to be very cultured, very interesting, and really able to edit to get it to work.

[@mon_avis2978]

@@Bunny-ch2ul Thanks for your thoughtful reply, esp. that the seeds of globalism are suggested by that décor. I agree wholeheartedly about recreating that _luxe_ and cultured ambience and understand wanting to live and be in it.

Thank you for this amazing video about amazing person!

[@TheFiown]

Was this voiced by Jared Harris ? Gorgeous home. I have her signed autobiography on my shelf, impressive woman.

[@massimosquecco8956]

She was the pivotal figure who translated (especially Parisian) High Fashion to the rich American buyers, from one side, and on the other showed it to the masses during the Golden Age of both HC and RTW. She defined our cultural History doing it, this is why she's a Historic figure herself. Comparing her to Anna Wintour, because of their job, it is like comparing Basquiat to an English Lady Fishmonger working after the disasters of Brexit.

[@debrajean9432]

Her red wallpaper reminds me of Jackie O's NY apartment dining room.

[@rustybearden1800]

I love these short pieces showing the interiors of famous apartments and homes and the different styles and tastes in lifestyles and furnishings, remembering all the while that these are homes that people come home to, go to sleep and wake up in and carry on with their personal lives. All are gorgeous and unique but some look rather difficult to relax in - where do you flop? Is that couch comfortable to take a nap on? Where can I relax and just do nothing, play a game of cards or a boardgame, read a book or a magazine or watch a movie or TV? Some of these interiors must need dusting and polishing at least once a day to maintain the lush appearance. Just wondering...........

[@bobl4419]
