Rito’s independently built fansite tribute for celebrity fashion icon and singer Caroline Vreeland—great granddaughter of legendary Vogue editor Diana Vreeland—earned an unexpected spotlight in The New York Times where it was directly linked and presented by the editor to strategically convey her claim to fame in the introduction. Designed as a heartfelt homage to Caroline’s artistic and fashion legacy, the site organically drew over 100,000 unique visitors in a single year. Its cultural resonance and refined execution didn’t go unnoticed—Caroline herself shared, “Oh Rito. Sweet, sweet Rito... I feel really loved, and I'm really grateful.”

The feature underscores Rito’s ability to craft digital experiences that celebrate artistry, ignite communities, and gain recognition from icons themselves.
