Reviews
'A stylish, funny, fond and vivid book' - Sunday Times
'The research for this book has been exhaustive, but Mackenzie Stuart wears it lightly ... she writes movingly about Vreeland's marriage without any intrusive psychoanalysis, and her warmth, enthusiasm and particular genius come through in entertaining anecdotes and marvellous quotes' - Spectator
'Paints an enthralling picture of a mesmerising character who left an indelible print on 20th-century fashion' - Hello!
