DV: RE on Maudie

.

to MRS. MELLEN                                                                              from MRS. VREELAND

I got Dick's enthusiastic note about Maudie James. 
We have photographed her several times 
for covers from London.She has no eyes
at all in a picture but a beautiful mouth. 

However, why doesn't Dick use her a bit  before 
he uses her for us as perhaps by  adding something 
else to her we can do something for the eyes.

She is one of the few English girls who has no eyes at all.




UK cover of Maudie James with eyes and brows. See other covers here  on Vogue Archives.

don't you just love Diana Vreeland, I never tire of reading her memos.

  2. Love, love DV. I never tire of you sharing them. And I didn't know Maudie James' name although I've seen her on many covers. Yet again I've learnt something from your wonderful blog xx

  4. vt & Christina- Maudie James-apparently on many Vogue UK covers. I do so love the Diana comments-she has a way of "putting" things that is totally unique and succinct-I wish I could be so direct! pgt
