Diana Vreeland- The Eye Has To Travel

Diana Vreeland: The Eye Has to Travel is an artistic masterpiece displaying the upbringing, inspirations and life time works of renowned fashion editor Diana Vreeland. She had a somewhat troubled childhood, but despite not having any qualifications became the 'Empress of Fashion' for over 50 years. Throughout her reign she launched Twiggy's career and celebrated Barbra Streisand's nose, she saw things in people before they saw it themselves essentially launching a new generation. 

For 25 years Vreeland was the editor for Harpers Bazzar where she became a household name and to this day is an inspiration. She then went on to become the editor-in-chief of vogue, followed by a remarkable visionary at the Metropolitan Museum of Arts Costume Institute , where she popularised historical collections of clothes. The film itself educated me about styles of the 20th century and their history (even if it was over exaggerated by Vreeland herself).

I enjoyed this film very much as before university if you'd asked me "Who is Diana Vreeland?" i would've had no clue but she was the driving force behind so many different factors within the fashion industry I feel ashamed that I had no idea. A definite recommendation for anyone wanting to work within the fashion industry.
