Diana Vreeland (September 29, 1903[2] – August 22, 1989) was an American fashion columnist and editor. She worked for the fashion magazine Harper's Bazaar and as editor-in-chief at Vogue, later becoming a special consultant to the Costume Institute of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. She was named on the International Best Dressed List Hall of Fame in 1964.[3][4] Vreeland coined the term youthquake in 1965.[5]

- ^ She was coy about her age, and genuinely perplexed. Diana's confusion was the result of a misreading. The genealogist Philippe Chapelin of genfrance.com has clarified that there was no discrepancy and that Diana was born on September 29, 1903. The misunderstanding came from the abbreviation "7bre" in her bulletin de naissance, which Diana took to mean "July" but is actually shorthand for "September", "7 does not mean July but seven, that is French 'Sept.'" (similar abbreviations are used for all the other months of autumn), according to Amanda Mackenzie Stuart, Diana Vreeland – Empress of Fashion, London: Thames & Hudson, 2013, p. 338.
