The serpent should be on all fingers and every wrist and all everywhere…
The serpent is the motif of the hours in jewellery…

A collection of memos sent by Diana Vreeland between 1966 and 1972 during her tenure as editor of Vogue. Vreeland's memos were legendary. She would fire them off each morning, touching on the mundane and the remarkable. 150 of the memos are reproduced here and provide a glimpse into the creative mind of the legendary editor.
