About this product

Product Information

Gloria Vanderbilt is many things: an heiress, a painter, a muse, a designer, a model, a writer, an entrepreneur, an actor, a socialite, a survivor, an icon. She brought the Vanderbilt name out of the Gilded Age and into the Digital Age, reinventing herself over and over along the way. Hers is a story of charisma, glamour, and heartbreaking loss, told here by Wendy Goodman, who had intimate access to Vanderbilt for this book. The illustrations include portraits of Vanderbilt and her extraordinary homes, filled with original and influential decorating ideas, by such photographic legends as Richard Avedon, Louise Dahl-Wolfe, Inge Morath, Horst P. Horst, Francesco Scavullo, and Annie Leibovitz. Vanderbilt's son, Anderson Cooper, contributes a foreword. Praise for The World of Gloria Vanderbilt: "Perhaps the definitive-and certainly the most visually stunning-book to capture her incredible life." -The Huffington Post "Goodman's book is flush with gorgeous photos and insider dish." -Good Housekeeping "Wendy Goodman's 2010 biography, The World of Gloria Vanderbilt , is considered definitive." - Lonny magazine

  • Worth your time!

    Visually stunning interiors and artwork by Gloria Vanderbilt (the well-known mother of Anderson Cooper), an heiress who was an inspiring survivor of both her advantages and disadvantages. I happened to achieve a good price for my used copy, but the value of the book is inside.
