VREELAND, Diana. Allure.

(New York, NY): Doubleday, 1980. First edition. Small folio. Allure takes us back to the time, when “fashion” wasn't yet a synonym for “consumption”, when it was better to be wrong than to be boring—just as long as one was clever about it. A superb volume of photographs, (with text by Vreeland) including photographs by Richard Avedon, Cecil Beaton, Baron De Meyer, Horst, Irving Penn and Edward Steichen. A very good copy in dust jacket, boards a little rubbed on edges.
