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.
