Diana VreelandWednesday 29 January 2003
She was the Vogue editor who told 1960's America to 'Think Pink', the personal stylist who dressed Jackie Kennedy for the White House, a friend to Warhol and the Windsors. But, perhaps most importantly of all, she was the fashion guru who told a young Manolo Blahnik that his real calling lay in designing beautiful shoes.

Biographer Eleanor Dwight and Nicky Haslam, interior designer/socialite who worked with Vreeland in the 60's, join with Jenni to discuss this legendary fashion editor and icon.
'Diana Vreeland' by Eleanor Dwight, HarperCollins, ISBN 0688167381, Published 28th January 2003.
'Sheer Opulence' by Nicky Haslam, Cico Books, ISBN 1903116 554, Published 3rd October 2002.
