Gloria Vanderbilt Inspirational Woman of the 20th Century

The latest book I am in raptures over is "The World of GloriaVanderbilt" by Wendy Goodman.
This book has a plethora of incredible images of both the very beautiful Vanderbilt and the incredible world she lived in.  It also tells a remarkable story of her life and the many facets which included her heartbreaking background as a child, growing up a Vanderbilt.
Vanderbilt was a model, decorator, designer jeans mogul, artist, and icon!
 Photographed by the legends of the 20th Century such as Cecil Beaton and Richard Avedon.
