Modern editor reimagines classic column

Lynette Nylander, the magazine's executive digital director, is writing the updated pieces. The new content focuses on tips for stylish and daring living. This project commemorates the legacy of the former fashion editor.

Scent advice highlights Vreeland habits

The column suggests developing a signature scent like the one Vreeland used in her home. Rigaud's Cyprès was the specific fragrance she favored for its Mediterranean pine notes. She also repurposed the brand's zebra box to hold pencils.

Style tips mix luxury and basics

Vreeland spent 26 years at the publication before leaving her role there. During that time she favored mixing high-end brands with everyday staples. The column continues this approach by blending expensive items with simple ones.
