Diana Vreeland (1903-89) was the twentieth century’s greatest arbiter of style, an exotic and vibrant character who, during her fifty-year reign as the “Empress of Fashion,“ dazzled the world with her unique vision of style high and low. She was the most important oracle of fashion inviting us to join her on a voyage of perpetual reinvention and take part in the adventure of life. Through her trained and diligent eye, she opened the door of our minds and gave us the freedom to imagine. Her images and accomplishments are as fresh and relevant now as they were then, and her spirit is just a vibrant and relevant today. As Jackie Onassis once put it: “To say Diana Vreeland has dealt only with fashion trivializes what she has done. She has commented on the times in a wise and witty manner. She has lived a life.“
《戴安娜·弗里兰:眼睛要旅行》下载观后评论:
對工作無比的熱情 無盡的想像力 no judgement, no boundary, beauty is the paramount guideline = Diana Vreeland. 她的私人生活之與她無非兩種可能,一種是刻意避開不談,一種就是她因為工作而弱化了對私人生活的感受。是一個老天賞飯吃型的女人,但是和這樣的人公事簡直對於mental health和work life balance是毀滅性打擊。另外從她從Vogue到MET的經歷可以證明,是金子到哪裡都會發光的。另外Diana身上的美有80%來源於發自內心的toughness confidence, 剩下20%來自於打扮。想起Good Will Hunting裡教授評價Will的話,有些人的天賦和高度是另一些人跳起來都夠不著的程度。
“对话、兴趣、氛围,没有什么比这些更值得投入了。” “I really wouldn’t know anything about Russia. What I really love is Russia.” “We are physical people. We count on action, mood and wit of the body to survive.” “A dress doesn’t get you anywhere. It’s the life in the dress.” “Don’t tell a story even if it’s true if it’s boring.” 良好出身、不够所谓的好看、没有通过上学让学术摧毁创造力和boldness。
‘’I think when you’re young, you should be a lot with yourself and your sufferings. Then one day you get out and the sun shines, rain rains, the snow snows, and it all comes together.” - Diana Vreeland 觉得她气场太好了 太有魅力了 大家说她长得不好看 我怎么就觉得她很美呢 想象力跟创造力真的很重要 真的热爱才能让人活得精彩。
【2020年第10部紀錄片】希望假以時日我也能成為在時尚行業閃閃發光的人。 一個好的紀錄片需要好的敘述方式,故事和主人公本身才是紀錄片之魂。Dianna Vreeland真是太有魅力的一個人了,還是想感慨,努力和投身自己熱愛的事業的人真是閃閃發光,讓人無法抗拒地喜歡。「通透」是「過盡千帆」不屑於「翹首」,重擊也有重頭再來的「勇氣」。機遇永遠是給最有力量、勇氣和個性的美人兒,他們穿越時空和未來的人建立起了連接。Beauty is powerful. 美,不需要別人定義,自信就是最美麗。
“You gotta have style. It helps you get down the stairs. It helps you get up in the morning. It’s a way of life. Without it, you’re nobody. I’m not talking about lots of clothes.”
