meet Gloria Vanderbilt the legendary artist author style icon fashion designer and heiress her great-great-grandfather was Commodore Cornelius Vanderbilt who built his fortune on shipping and railroads and one of her sons is Anderson Cooper today she lives on a quiet Street on the Upper East Side where she continues to make her dreams reality let's go inside and see just how she does that what is beautiful to me may not be beautiful someone else or what someone else does may not be from what I like but I always know one thing leads to another and I know the direction I'm going and like I found this rug and then I found the mantelpiece and decorated that it sort of evolved like that I do have a lot of fantasy and imagination it certainly is what inspires me but there are very few places left where I have grown to doing any more mirror and said but there's still a few places you know well that portrait I remember as hanging in my mother's house in Paris this was when I was tiny it was painted when she was on her honeymoon when she was 18 and then it hung wherever she was she came and followed us for about three weeks out to the park and the baby carriage and she took a lot of him he doesn't remember of those because they were so tiny but it really sort of looks like somebody who's very old so I've never painted before and it's short on paper and the theme of it is all romance and happiness there's a lot of kind of longing for finding the right person did you give yourself doing that but it's all romantic oh well Instagram is fascinating I can be drawn to it and spend hours looking at it and some of it is so ghastly I mean really ghastly but then it goes on to something else more - so you keep looking at it I looked at it this morning I'll look at it tonight it'll all be different I post a painting or other Anderson does the post came for me and then in 10 minutes 25,000 people have seen it they all write comments which most of them are wildly flattering and enthusiastic it sort of changed my whole point of view about showing in a gallery we are in Gloria Vanderbilt's studio this is where it all happens this is where at 94 she has a second career on Instagram she is selling her work she has almost 200,000 followers Laura's apartment is an ever-evolving landscape it changes every time you visit the thing that I've learned over the years coming to visit Gloria is your house is your Fantasyland and don't be afraid to express yourself in the most outrageous ways that's wave
