Diana Vreeland ‘The Eye has to Travel’ – Movie Premier
4pm | Lighthouse Cinema, Smithfield Square | Tickets available from ‘Win with DFF’ on www.dff.ie
A Dublin Fashion Festival exclusive will give festival goers a first look at the captivating fashion film, Diana Vreeland: The Eye Has to Travel, which is both an intimate portrait and a vibrant celebration of one of the most influential women of the 20th century, an enduring icon whose influence changed the face of fashion, beauty, art, publishing and culture itself forever.
Diana Vreeland (1903-1989) was the 20th Century’s greatest arbiter of style, an exotic and vibrant character who, during her fifty-year reign as the “Empress of Fashion,” dazzled the world with her unique vision of style high and low. She launched Twiggy, advised Jackie O, and coined some of fashion’s most eloquent proverbs such as “the bikini is the biggest thing since the atom bomb.”
A special advanced screening of the movie will be shown at the Lighthouse cinema, Sunday 9th at 4pm, as part of the Dublin Fashion Festival. The movie goes on general release on September 21st for a limited Irish release.
To be in with a chance to win a pair of tickets to this premier simply email your answer to the folllowing question, along with your name and number:
What 1960′s British icon did Diana Vreeland launch?
Please send your answers to tellus@dublintown.ie. Winners will be announced on Saturday 8th. Best of luck!
