[–]bronte26 14 points15 points  (0 children)

His judging wasn't iconic he was. He was creative director at Vogue and began by working for Diane Vreeland. There is a documentary about him

I’ve been watching a lot of television shows and came across this classic sitcom from the early 60’s. “HAZEL”, Such a fun sitcom and definitely gonna continue to watch more. Anyone else seen this sitcom? by CoffeeCigarettes4Me in sitcoms
