Life Lessons from Diana Vreeland
Welcome to Life Lessons. In honor of Libra season, we’re shining the spotlight on Diana Vreeland– fashion empress, Editor-in-Chief at Vogue in the ’60s, and all-around New York icon. This week, we’re flipping through the pages of Vreeland’s cover story from our December 1980 issue, in which the 75-year-old sits down for a conversation with the late writer Jonathan Lieberson about the many lives she’s lived, her thoughts on birth control, and why it’s only natural to think about money. So sit back and grab a pen—you just might learn a thing or two.
