Diana Vreeland: The Eye Has to Travel

"Little is made of Vreeland’s personal life, a world she tended to neglect for her career. However there is a telling interview with her two sons in which it’s apparent that her life was first and foremost, about her work."

"When discussing tastemakers of the 20th century, few names conjure "style" with the zest of Diana Vreeland, and documentary The Eye Has to Travel gets the zing just right."

"A fashion world Who's Who offer accolades, while Vreeland's vulnerabilities are revealed in interviews telling how, ridiculed by her socialite mother as ugly, she invented herself on her own terms."

"Anna Wintour? Feh! There never was, and never will be, a style icon quite like Diana Vreeland."

"Dizzily enjoyable..."

"She's entertaining enough, and like most fashion documentaries, it's a mine of pop-cultural history, but the unswervingly generous assessment of her achievements and permanently arch vocal style become a little wearying."

"We begin to understand what created her distinctive fashion aesthetic as well as her drive."

"With whimsy and wit to match the woman herself, this documentary transcends stereotype to celebrate a complex, vibrant and influential figure."

"Vivid, delicious trip through the heyday of fashion mags is a must for followers of clothes, print design, and high society."

"Bursting with insights and a droll sense of the absurd side of fashion, it's a fitting tribute to one of the industry's key figures."
