Diana Vreeland: The Eye Has to Travel
by Eva Wynne
The Eye has to Travel featured in Brisbane’s International Film Festival 2012. The documentary is about outlandish bon vivant and curator of style Diana Vreeland.

Because there’s no copyright protection in this industry, there’s a very open and creative ecology of creativity. — Johanna Blakley Blakley’s discourse shows the fascinating response of designers in an industry that is both practical … Read More Creativity of fashion designers magnified
