A collection of 100 postcards, each featuring a striking cover from
American Vogue. From early aspirational illustrations to modern
celebrity photography, this is a stunning selection of Vogue's most
dazzling images. Since its launch in 1892, Vogue has brought
sophistication to its readers around the world. Early illustrations from
artists including George Wolfe Plank, Olive Tilton, Pierre Brissaud, and
Eduardo Garcia Benito saw ethereal figures of fantasy develop into
red-lipped flappers, and as colour photographs began to appear, the
women transformed again: from Surrealist images by Horst P. Horst to
'women in the life of the moment', captured by Irving Penn. From the
fifties onwards, Vogue women became more accessible still, as models and
stars like Elizabeth Taylor, Goldie Hawn, Cindy Crawford, and Cher, with
their own distinct personalities, appeared through the lenses of Richard
Avedon and Snowdon. Vogue covers now are the epitome of style and
beauty, with such illustrious photographers as Mario Testino, Annie
Leibovitz, Steven Klein, and Patrick Demarchelier photographing stars
like Lady Gaga, Kirsten Dunst, and Kate Moss, celebrating female icons
across modern culture.
