Given how fashionable documentaries are becoming, it’s somewhat ironic that we’re now seeing a documentary about a leading figure in fashion. Known best for her time as the fashion editor of Harper’s Bazaar and then Vogue, leading fashionista Diana Vreeland was an ahead-of-the-curve visionary who single-handedly changed the way women dressed. Paying fitting tribute, this feature (co-helmed by her granddaughter-in-law Lisa) is appropriately stylish and sporadically involving, but yet it probably won’t appeal much to anyone not interested in fashion, beauty or woman’s style. That said, Vreeland herself is an interesting subject, a true original who had an uncanny knack of capturing the moment and looking at progressive trends.
