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"
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
had to look into her after watching robbie turner's...'impersonation' on snatch game... what a lady! she's so entertaining I could listen to her say the same thing 10 different ways forever, rather like a marketplace, rather like an arcade, rather like a
@@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, .
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.
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”.
Não sei bem explicar...fico totalmente em êxtase...em observar um mulher com atitudes... é tão fascinante quando vc fala sem gesticular..sem muitos sobressaltos...o tom de viz é fascinante...sem beleza alguma ...mas ninguém percebe... é apenas um detalhe... gestos comedidos... isso me fascina!!!
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.
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.

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"
Wonderful quote, thank you for sharing! Do you have any recordings or unpublished writings of hers that can be shared?
Raja bought me here! “A Bo-Deeegggaa!”, “Purple mittens” 😍😍

raja, thank you, she is fascinating!
Raja Gemini brought me here. Who else? 👋🏼

Absolutely
look at raja, educating us and violet booted her twice. what a blasphemy
I'm here because of raja in RuPaul drag race
Thank you Raja thank you drag race
Thank you Raja.
I’m so happy to have found this! I’m reading her memoirs now and she’s wonderful and fascinating and dynamic, i just had to hear her voice
Me Too!! Im reading her book and just had to see her walk and talk and move. An incredible woman, so far ahead of her time. I wish I had known her.
Andre Leon Tally adored her, he would always address her as Mrs Vreeland...RIP...
CAME HERE CAUSE OF RAJA
Bo-de-ga
I saw this so many years ago, and so happy that it uploaded again. In much better quality!
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! ❤️
Advice for being fashionable: “Education has a great deal to with everything. And that you can do for yourself.” Indeed!
She's so smart. She and Lauren Bacall sound almost identical. She's so charming and totally focused on the present.
She did discovered Lauren Bacall.
i thought that too
@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.😢
I love that watching drag race has ultimately led to me seeing this
raja should've won that snatch game, she did the queen justice
LMAO
No.
i do love a woman with a rubenseque figuaa
Raja brought me here.
What a lovely response to his question about royalty
One can only imagine her response to the question "what do you think of Kardashian wearing Marilyn Monroe's dress to the Met Gala?"
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.

I love her!
He doesn't let her finish her thoughts and answers.
I love her so much!!!
such an Icon…love Mrs Vreeland
THANK YOU!
You're welcome!

...it was Raja that did the impersonation. 😅
@@AstarteAnthro Robbie Turner did her first in Season 8
She knows her stuff!
i adored DV - what a right classy and amusing lady she was. They broke the mold.
I don't get why raja said purple mittens, trying to find a clip of her saying it lol
fascinating women.
Such a shame how Harper's Bazaar decided not to make her the editor-in-chief position.
It was Harper's Bazaars lost, look at what happened when she went to Vogue
@@a.rrucker5450 yes she rocked it out...Anna Wintour is truly following in her footsteps....trust me..

@@a.rrucker5450 ❤❤❤
Raja put this woman on my radar.
She talked such utterly facile nonsense with such conviction I believed every word of it.
haha very true! I think she was known for that.
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. 👏🏾

Around 5.00 the way she sticks up for Elizabeth here, wow!
Raja brought me here
Who’s new here from Drag Race All Stars 7?
Mesmerizing woman.
I love so much

Raja did her proud in the snatch game
Why can’t anyone talk like this anymore.
Raja's Snatch Game lmao
Raja should have been black chyna
I am getting to know her 'now' after reading her autobiography. Je suis impressionne.
Legend!
Looking so nice!!😊😊😊
Rajaaaaaa!

It's so sad what we have done to the fashion industry.
Our idol!!!!
If Marco Pierre White hadn’t been alive at the same time as her, I’d swear he was Diana reincarnated.
BODEGA BOH-DEH-GAH
She totally avoided the classism in fashion questions...
C’mon Raja
Did the interviewer star as an Oompa Loompa in Charle and the Choco Factory?
Diana Vreeland characterized the nature of her downfall at Vogue perfectly herself, "And designers do design for those who can afford it, true?" "Yes!"

Raja. Period,
“That’s nice” lol
A BO.DE.GA. BO DE GA
Amazing ❤❤❤
nice coat!!
ROGER
Also clearly had old ideals of what "good" body was.
She’s better than Anna Wintor
oh MILES better
BO-DE-GA🤌🏼✨
Orange is the new pink, Mrs Vreeland...RIP.
I think you mean - Pink Is the Navy Blue of India.
@@brentdsmith1 Maybe, but I was quoting Mrs Vreeland...
Is this at Tavern on The Green?
It is.
I read that her hairdresser used color on her hair from South America that was illegal!
Tomorrow "Dorothy" of the Wiz. Um, you mean Diana Ross? Right?
Since they are in New York, it was probably the actress playing Dorothy on Broadway at the time.
Did they refer to DIANA ROSS as Dorothy from "The Wiz" 😮
ROBBIE TURNER DID IT BETTER
…said no one.
Bo-deeey-ga
Who is the man that interview Diana here ?
alien lady
Guys, this is the person where Edna Mode was inspired!
That’s Edith Head… sigh….. Young People….

Unattractive to modern eyes? She was beyond chic even to this day. We need more characters like her, not more "conservatively dressed office workers".
She looks absolutely stunning what are you talking about guess you just look creativity and vision
i think she looks absolutely amazing, even in 2022. and i have worked over 20 years in high fashion
Such a snob. Yikes 🤮
Philistine!
You are mistaken. She wasn't a snob. She loved lives of all kinds and folks of all shapes.
