Fashion editor Diana Vreeland was born on July 29, 1903, in Paris, France. She passed away on August 22, 1989. After moving to New York, she married banker Reed Vreeland at the age of 19. Her elegant style attracted attention in high society, and she was scouted by Carmel Snow, then editor-in-chief of Harper's Bazaar. As fashion editor, she began her column, "Why Don't You?" In 1960, she also served as fashion advisor to Jacqueline Kennedy. In 1962, she became editor-in-chief of rival magazine Vogue, supporting the magazine's golden age. During her time there, she discovered numerous models and creators. She hired Lauren Bacall, who was still unknown at the time, as a model and featured Richard Avedon, one of the 20th century's most famous photographers, in her magazine. Twiggy, who was brought over from London, became a huge hit as the "Queen of the Mini."

After stepping down as editor-in-chief in 1971, she became an advisor to the Costume Institute of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. As a consultant, she successfully organized numerous costume exhibitions, including the Yves Saint Laurent exhibition. She also supervised the costume exhibition "The Origins of Modern Clothing," held in Japan in 1975.

Her illustrious life was once again brought to the spotlight with the 2012 film "Diana Vreeland: The Legend of Diana Vreeland." The film features rare archive footage and photographs from that time.
