Wowlebrity David Keeps has an article in today’s LA Times about legendary Vogue editor Diana Vreeland’s living room, which you can catch gasp-inducing glimpses of in the upcoming documentary Diana Vreeland: The Eye Must Travel (opening Friday). “Vreeland famously told Park Avenue interior designer Billy Baldwin in 1955 that she wanted her living room to ‘look like a garden, but a garden in hell,'” writes David. “Looking at Baldwin’s finished interpretation – the setting for Vreeland interview footage – the mind has to boggle.
