Mays modebiografieën
Good. This is a misleading headline. Because I haven't written any biographies and there is no biography about me either. Unfortunately. But I have selected four biographies for you that I am sure you will like. They are entertaining and educational and you will enhance your cultural knowledge. Also a nice bonus. Here they come, perfect for a long spring day behind a glass wall in the sun.
Grace
Reads like a movie. You might think: isn't that the quiet, red lady who always sits so nicely next to Anna Wintour? Well, she wasn't that nice. She has devoured more men than Anna. And maybe even more than Kate Moss. And she was a model. And so rock ’n roll. Her life seems like a dramatized novel. From a drug-addicted sister who dies to a terrible accident that forced her to stop modeling. And she was the muse of Vidal Sassoon and was the first model to have the bob haircut. Isn't that nice to know? Grace then, bet you'll finish it by Sunday? Here are seven things you didn't know about Grace.
Peggy Guggenheim
Another life story that, if it were a movie, you would think: well, that's a bit exaggerated. From a father who dies on the Titanic to a brother-in-law who falls from a roof, affairs with men and women, sex parties... According to Wikipedia, she had a ‘voracious sexual appetite’ and slept with more than a thousand men during her European period alone. Among those men were many artists. Sex, chic parties, drama, death, destruction, and art. Really, you read it in one breath.
Diana Vreeland
The most extraordinary editor-in-chief who ever lived. With the most delightful quotes. And fabrications, because she was into that too. About why everyone should have a red wall, why you shouldn't talk about stupid things, and why you should actually be born in Paris. And about her life lessons. That unpolished shoes mean the end of civilization. And that you should also polish your shoe soles. And your banknotes. And that your cardigan becomes much nicer if you wear it backwards. Diana. You can't not love her.
