Director Lisa Immordino Vreeland has made an upcoming documentary about her grandmother-in-law: Diana Vreeland, the legendary editor of Harper's Bazaar and Vogue who was one of the most prominent tastemakers of modern fashion.

These docs have certain traits in common. They're unashamedly nostalgic, evoking a lost world of couture and glamour. Their central characters (whether designers like Valentino or editors like Vreeland) are exotic and eccentric figures. Their private lives are shadowy and they only really come to life when they're working."
