The World of Gloria Vanderbilt ReviewWendy Goodman has done a marvelous job of capturing the elusive and ethereal quality that IS Gloria Vanderbilt.
She truly is like no one else....her own wonderful creation. And what a beautiful creation it is. From birth, and possibly even before, she was destined to live a spectacular life. From the custody trial between her mother and her Aunt Gertrude, her early marriages to Pat Di Cicco and Leopold Stokowski and finally Wyatt Cooper, she found herself in fantastic situations that filled in her blanks. They connected some of the dots that her family members were unable to connect, providing attention, continuity, safety and love. But she always did it her way. She acted, painted, decorated, designed housewares and of course the legendary jeans. The death of her son Carter is mentioned, briefly, and with great sensitivity.
This book is filled with stunning images of Gloria, who was photographed by every important photographer from the 20th century, as well as Gloria's own paintings and collages. The lush photographs of Gloria's homes gives us a wonderful glimpse into her rarefied world that is filled with momentos from her past that all have special meaning.
I read the entire book in one sitting, and will definately look at it over and over again. Anyone who loves beauty, unique and highly personal design, loves reading about a woman that is truly an original will savor this lovely book. It is utterly sublime.The World of Gloria Vanderbilt OverviewGloria Vanderbilt is many things: an heiress, a painter, a muse, a designer, a model, a writer, an entrepreneur, an actor, a socialite, a survivor, an icon. She brought the Vanderbilt name out of the Gilded Age and into the Digital Age, reinventing herself over and over along the way. Hers is a story of charisma, glamour, and heartbreaking loss, told here by Wendy Goodman, who had intimate access to Vanderbilt for this book. The illustrations include portraits of Vanderbilt and her extraordinary homes, filled with original and influential decorating ideas, by such photographic legends as Richard Avedon, Louise Dahl-Wolfe, Inge Morath, Horst P. Horst, Francesco Scavullo, and Annie Leibovitz. Vanderbilt's son, Anderson Cooper, contributes a foreword.Praise for The World of Gloria Vanderbilt: "Perhaps the definitive-and certainly the most visually stunning-book to capture her incredible life." -The Huffington Post "Goodman's book is flush with gorgeous photos and insider dish." -Good Housekeeping
