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 200 stunning images have been selected from an
archive of more than 1,500. 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 20th
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.
