Description: "[I]mages by some of the most prolific and influential photographers of the last century -- among them, Horst, De Meyer, Avedon, Beaton, Penn , and Steichen. Capturing the people and events that gave shape to the culture of an era, Allure celebrates the personalities who set their imprint on that time.. Garbo, Nureyev, Callas, Queen Mary, Audrey Hepburn, and Josephine Baker are just a few of the luminaries who help define Diana Vreeland's unique concept of allure. Vreeland's irrepressible personality was drawn out in interviews with Christopher Hemphill and transformed by him into a bewitching text. In her commentary Vreeland reflects on the images, taking the reader for me on the photographs into the imaginative, luxurious, and gossipy world she knew so well. As fashion editor of Harpers Bazaar, editor-in-chief of Vogue, and creator of dozens of famous exhibits at the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute, Diana Vreeland energised and inspired the world of fashion for 50 years.
