</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i>Last year, as I was conducting research for a book I’m writing on Mrs. Vreeland, I realised that her real strengths and subtleties needed to be conveyed in a three-dimensional platform in which she could come alive. Film is the most obvious and effective medium to communicate Mrs. Vreeland’s unique and visual journey. <i>Diana Vreeland: The Eye Has to Travel</i> will be more than just an intimate portrait of the legendary fashion icon. It will capture Vreeland’s life visually through a multitude of media. Vreeland’s own voice and persona – strong, eloquent and often very exaggerated – will guide us through her life, adventures, accomplishments and passions.</i></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">In 1964, the then up-and-coming Friedlander was hired by <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harper%27s_Bazaar#Editors"><i>Harper's Bazaar</i></a> art directors <a href="http://www.ruthansel.com/">Ruth Ansel</a> and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bea_Feitler">Bea Feitler</a> to photograph the year's new car models. As Friedlander's album covers (for many of the jazz artists at Atlantic Records) had already proven his ability to work on assignment and wishing to obtain his best work, Ansel and Feitlier decided that he should be left to his own devices.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Rather than glamourising the then ultimate symbol of success, Friedlander <i>...just put the cars out in the world, instead of on a pedestal</i>. The then editor-in-chief Nancy White was less than impressed and well aware that offending the car manufactures could ultimately harm advertising revenue. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Though Friedlander was paid, the shots were never used and all but forgotten. That is, until Friedlander rediscovered the negatives in 2010.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;"><i>Pauline Trigère was famous for her coat designs, especially for her swing coats. This notable example shows how she has adapted her swing silhouette for use with leopard skin. The dolman sleeves are an interesting touch that allows for an attractive display of this handsome fur. Designed by Trigère, this coat, according to accession information, was made by Jerry Sorbana in 1962.</i></div><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">The basement kitchen of the house that I originally, and rather wantonly, described as<i> a <a href="http://www.blogger.com/goog_185847940">very poor mix of neo Georgian, Arts and Crafts, and contemporary Scandinavian elements. </a></i><i><a href="http://houseofbeautyandculture.blogspot.com/search?q=too+old+to+be+young">With an absolutely hideous reproduction Louis XV chimney thrown in for good measure.</a> </i>Whilst the assessment may have indeed been accurate, it failed to acknowledge that this was in fact once someone's house. And they undoubtedly thought it perfect. For them, it more than likely was.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">However, to this jaundiced eye, the house was lacking. </div><br />
Beginning with the kitchen and its adjacent rooms. The cherry wood cabinetry (replete with its quasi-Shaker details) and granite work surfaces looked dated and commonplace. And the overly bright colour scheme throughout seemed desperately cheerful.<br />
<br />
<br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div>Luckily the cabinets were beautifully made. And contrary to the current vogue of ripping out for ripping out's sake it was unilaterally decided to restyle the existing kitchen. Which, incidentally, had the most beautiful copper clad baseboards that would inspire the colour palette and the kitchen's details.<br />

On the way to completion.<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">The kitchen walls were painted a dark green that was further deepened by 20%. The adjacent spaces were painted different shades of verdigris. With the space farthest away from the kitchen painted in the same dark green used as a tent stripe.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
