Documentary Film Diana Vreeland: The Eye Has to Travel
The Cleveland Institute of Art 's Cinematheque will host one of Fashion Week Cleveland's educational programs. The documentary film Diana Vreeland: The Eye Has to Travel will be shown on Friday, May 10, 2013 at 7:30 pm. The film will be followed by an official after-party salon at L'Albatros Bistro in University Circle.
"The first thing to do, my love, is to arrange to be born in Paris. After that, everything follows quite naturally." Diana Vreeland arranged for herself to be born in Paris in 1902, at the end of the Belle Époque. The smart set waltzed through her parents' drawing room, and her life went uphill from there. DIANA VREELAND: THE EYE HAS TO TRAVEL is a marvelously entertaining look at the woman who was a fashion icon throughout most of the 20th century. As fashion editor of Harper's Bazaar, editor of American Vogue and consultant to the Costume Institute at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, D.V. was a lifelong visionary. Told largely by Diana herself, in interviews with raconteur George Plimpton, the film incorporates reminiscences by fashion deities from the 60s and beyond. Loved by many, feared by more, Diana had an outsized personality and was known for her witty aphorisms. This movie is as gorgeous as one of her famous December issues. D.V. would have loved its pizzazz.

Dressed - the movie :: Film Narrative :: Unfolding against a backdrop of the Fashion Industry in New York, “Dressed” is the inspiring story of young clothing designer, Nary Manivong, who defied the odds amidst a broken childhood, homelessness and the fiercely competitive world of fashion to pursue his ultimate dream – a show of his collection at Fashion Week. Woven into Nary’s story is commentary from industry insiders about the realities and potential rewards in the fashion industry.
Yet even under the kind of pressures many adults find daunting, Nary remained focused and determined to become a fashion designer. He worked tirelessly sketching his designs and creating garments with scraps of fabric and a sewing machine given to him by people who believed in his quest. The film is a truly motivating story about one man’s journey to fulfill his dream and reach his ultimate goal of becoming a successful fashion designer in New York City. It’s a film about the trials and tribulations incurred and the perseverance and determination it takes to make it in the fashion industry. - Producer Maryanne Grisz
