Diana Vreeland was an influential fashion editor and stylist in the 1960s and 1970s. During her career, she worked at some of the world's leading fashion magazines, including Harper's Bazaar and Vogue.
Although she has been (up to the present day) a major influence in fashion, photography, and design, she has also been a passionate advocate of the idea that traveling is essential to staying up to date on the latest trends and styles in the fashion world.
Vreeland knew that the fashion world demanded constant evolution, and that to stay current, it was necessary to step outside one’s four walls and explore new places. In her famous 1984 book,*Allure*, she wrote about the great importance of discovering new trends outside her own country and seeing fashion in a different cultural context. This inspired us to leave everything behind and travel throughout Latin America.
Not only did she travel to see the latest designer collections on the runways of Paris, Milan, and New York, but she also intended to immerse herself deeply in the cultures and fashions of more remote places, such as Morocco, Thailand, and Japan, with the aim of discovering new trends and styles.
Through her travels, she gained a global perspective on fashion that few others had, and she realized that trends aren't limited to the major fashion capitals.
For both Vreeland and us, traveling is a way to find creative inspiration. When you step outside your comfort zone, you discover new ideas and new ways of thinking about fashion.As she once said,“If you want to keep an open and fresh mind, you must travel. Traveling is the only way to see things in their true perspective.”
