Vreeland's Got Style

Seen here is Craig Donahue, publicist, arranging (L to R) Timothy Vreeland,
designer James Galanos, model Peggy Moffitt, and Fred Hayman.
This morning's gathering at the corner of Rodeo Drive and Dayton Way proved that Diana Vreeland can still command a crowd of admirers and photographers.  Legendary editor and fashion icon Diana Vreeland was the 19th inductee into the Rodeo Drive Walk of Style. Vreeland, who had a monumental impact on fashion from the 1930s to the 1980s, will will receive a bronze plaque featuring her signature along with one of her famous quotes embedded into the sidewalk of Rodeo Drive. She is in good company; recognized along with Giorgio Armani, Versace, Missoni and Valentino, to name a few.  The move to induct Vreeland comes on the heels of the highly-anticipated release of the Samuel Goldwyn Films and EPIX film Diana Vreeland: The Eye Has to Travel.  “Style: All who have it share one thing - originality.”
