Today the much-awaited documentary “Diana Vreeland: The Eye Has to Travel” opens in theaters. The fashion icon’s granddaughter-in-law, Lisa Immordino Vreeland, produced and directed the film, which takes an intimate, behind-the-scenes look at the personality and life of the ‘Empress of Fashion.’ In honor of the movie, we are resurrecting Vreeland’s Harper’s Bazaar “Why Don’t You?” column with a new series. Please stay tuned each Friday for the next month as we ask past and new contributors for their stylish suggestions.

“Why Don’t You remodel the fabulous furs your chic Aunt Agatha left to you? Why keep a dated fur in its old fashion state when so many possibilities abound for stylish redos? Whether you trim your cashmere cape or design a vest or poncho, you will then have a piece (or pieces) you can throw over everything, from a turtleneck with trousers and boots to your sleekest LBD.”
