Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

Diana Vreeland's legendary memos to the editors, bookers and assistants on her staff at Vogue record her obsessions and her relationships. The memos were dictated to one of her (frequently replaced) secretaries, usually from home in the morning or, after twelve, at her office in the Graybar Building on Lexington Avenue, with its faux leopard-skin carpet and red walls covered with photographs and clippings neatly lined up and attached with pushpins. Visionaire , the art and fashion quarterly, invites readers to take an intimate look into her creative reign at Vogue by publishing these fabled inter-office memos in an appropriately exclusive edition portfolio. Loosely bound and wrapped in red ribbon, Visionaire 37 reproduces a select 150 of the 400 surviving memos that detail Vreeland's thoughts on fashion, photographers, models and reveals the inner workings of the world's most powerful fashion magazine.

This volume contains approximately 150 original memos from Diana Vreeland to her staff at Vogue. The inter-office correspondence dates from 1966 to 1972, and discusses topics ranging from the wacky (the use of freckles or the utter importance of dog collars, for example), to the divine (the genius of Halston).

Limited edition number 0309 of 4000 numbered copies.

Open-bound volume, housed in a red, cloth, hardback folder, and tied together with a red cotton ribbon. Dimensions 24 cm x 30 cm. Missing front page depicting Diana Vreeland, with first signature not attached to the rest of the volume.
