Caroline Vreeland

To say the Vreeland name is a significant one would be an understatement. Made famous by the fashion superstar Diana Vreeland, who worked as Fashion Editor of Harper’s Bazaar (1936-1957) as well as Editor-and-Chief at Vogue (1963-1971), the Vreeland name has become iconic. However, Instagram darling Caroline Vreeland, great granddaughter of Diana, has secured her place in the ranks of fashion royalty not only by her heritage but by her own unique sense of style. With Marilyn-blonde hair, a vintage look and love affair with Barbara Bui heels, Vreeland has, however, chosen to move away from the fashion world and carve a brand new path for herself in a different direction. Her new album, In Ruins, mimics the low-fi trippy style of Portishead while playing tribute to her idol since childhood Fiona Apple. A tattoo on Vreeland’s arm even quotes her lyrics, words she claims to live by: “I do not struggle in your web because it was my aim to get caught”.

“弗里兰”这个名字在时尚界响当当，全是因为一个人，她就是戴安娜·弗里兰，曾任《时尚芭莎》杂志编辑（1936-1957）和《Vogue》主编（1963-1971）。然而，作为戴安娜·弗里兰的曾孙女，卡洛琳·弗里兰也在时尚界拥有资深地位，其原因不仅是因为她先天条件优良，而且还因为她拥有自己独特的风格。卡罗琳拥有玛丽莲般金色的秀发和复古的样貌，芭芭拉·裴高跟鞋是她的挚爱。然而，拥有这一切的她却选择远离时尚界，重新为自己开辟了一条完全不同的道路。她发行新专辑《一片废墟》，模仿波堤斯黑德的奇幻风格，致敬她的童年偶像费欧娜·艾波。弗里兰的胳膊上还有纹身，上面纹着她的歌词，她用生命印证着：“我不在你的圈套里挣扎，因为我心甘情愿被你抓住。
