In the early spring of 1936, Carmel Snow, the legendary editor of Harper's Bazaar, watched as a young, dark-haired woman glided across the dance floor at the St. Regis hotel. She wore a white Chanel lace dress with a bolero and roses in her jet-black hair; her high cheekbones were heavily rouged. Snow was entranced and offered the woman a job. And the rest is fashion history

‘When fashion turns over it brings in little tiny cracks and creaks. That is the fascination and that is where you have to watch every step.’

'当时尚运转起来会发出细微的破裂声和吱吱作响. 这就是魅力所在而且这就是每一步你所要注意到的.'

‘It is very easy to do what everybody does. It is very hard to select and use only the best.’

'很容易效仿别人的做法，但是很难只挑选和使用最好的.'

When Carrie Donovan tried to warn her boss that the businessmen at Condé Nast were finding Vreeland's editorial style too costly and her message out of touch with the times, the older editor replied, "'Oh, I'm used to it. . . . I know how to handle those men. When they get this way, you just give it to them back.'"
