In Vogue: An Illustrated History Of The World´S Most Famous Fashion Magazine

In Vogue is a fascinating look at the history of the world’s most influential magazine. The comprehensive compendium is illustrated with hundreds of archival covers and interiors from past issues of Vogue, featuring the work of some of the most respected artists, cover illustrators and photographers of the 20th century – from Edward Steichen, Toni Frissell and Erwin Blumenfeld to Irving Penn, Richard Avedon, David Bailey, Helmut Newton, Annie Leibovitz, Mario Testino, Steven Klein, Bruce Webber and Herb Ritts. In 1909, an enterprising New Yorker named Condé Nast took over a struggling society magazine and transformed it into the most glamorous fashion magazine of the 20th century. In Vogue traces the history, development and influence of this media colossus – from its beginnings as a social gazette in the late 19th century, through the exploration of modern fashion photography and new imagery in the mid-20th century, to its status as the leading style magazine today. The book explains the creation of the magazine, from the catwalks to editorial meetings to the pages of Vogue. The thoroughly researched history incorporates first-person accounts, interviews with editors and photographers, and excerpts from stories written in the magazine by many world-renowned writers, including Truman Capote, Aldous Huxley, Richard Burton, Federico Fellini, and Marcello Mastroianni. Unrivaled in scope and exceptionally illustrated, In Vogue is sure to rank among the most important publications on the subjects of culture, art, fashion, photography, and media.
