With access to Vreeland's personal material and photographs, Amanda Mackenzie Stuart has written the definitive behind-the-scenes look at the woman and her worlda jet-setting social scene that included Coco Chanel, Elsa Schiaparelli, Yves Saint Laurent, Hubert de Givenchy, Oscar de la Renta, Lauren Bacall, Penelope Tree, Lauren Hutton, Andy Warhol, Mick and Bianca Jagger, and the Kennedys. Filled with gorgeous color photographs of her work, Empress of Fashion is an intimate, surprising look at "the imperious, mesmerizing virtuoso who wandered onto the fashion stage and stole the show." (New York Daily News).
