Inventive, glamorous, gorgeous - since the beginning VOGUE has set the
platinum standard for fashion magazines the world over and has become an
icon in its own right. VOGUE's covers sum up the superlative visual
ideals of the whole magazine. For the first time, this book brings
together in one volume nearly a century of covers both illustrated and
photographic. Over two hundred stunning images have been selected from
an archive of more than fifteen hundred.
What sets VOGUE's covers apart is that each is so bold, so beautiful and
so emphatically different. They mark the course of history, chart
changing fashions and ideas of beauty and hold up a mirror to the
cultural and social revolutions of the twentieth century. Since 1916
VOGUE's covers have celebrated the most striking women of our age,
captured by the century's leading photographers, the greatest artists
and the most inventive fashion. Brilliant, captivating and full of life,
this is the face of the world's most influential magazine and the
original style bible.
