Episode 522: Mrs. Vreeland Asks ‘Why Don’t You?’

Outlandish, wry and fun, this week we explore the advice on how to live a fashionable lifestyle vis à vis fashion editor Diana Vreeland’s column ‘Why Don’t You?’ which debuted in Harper’s Bazar in 1936. From fashion tips to interior design, ‘Why Don’t You?’ was a source of humorous delight THEN and remains so more than 75+ years later.

Lampooned at the time for its elitist suggestions, The Boston Herald poked fun at Vreeland’s column with its own comic strip making light of the ‘Why Don’t You?’ column devoted the work of one of our favorite designers, Elsa Schiaparelli.
