Description
A fascinating look at the history of Vogue, the world's most influential magazine—a complete compendium illustrated with hundreds of covers and archival interiors Featuring the work of some of the 20th century's most respected artists, cover illustrators, and photographers—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 entrepreneurial New Yorker named Condé Nast took charge of a struggling society journal 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 beginning as a social gazette in the late 19th century, to the exploration of modern fashion photography and new visuals in the mid-20th century, to its status as the top style magazine today. The book explains the makings of the magazine—from runways, to editorial meetings, to the pages of Vogue. The thoroughly researched story 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. Unparalleled in its scope and exceptionally illustrated, In Vogue is sure to be among the most important publications on the subjects of culture, art, fashion, photography, and media.

“In Vogue: An illustrated History [...]: A necessary presence in the World Libraries
The book “In Vogue: An illustrated History of the World’s Most Famous Fashion Magazine” is very valuable to me, because it presents the ideological and artistic approach to the creation of a magazine, which is of the industry of Fashion and also at the core of the entire industrial world of our time, in a very detailed, very easy to understand and estethically appealing way. Illustrations together with photographs and text are combined on a paper surface of a high-quality, and with a very skilled photographic approach. It could be a valuable source of inspiration to graphic designers, to illustrators, to photographers, and to textile and clothing specialists together with those specialists of Architecture. I am an Architect myself, but I needed an extended education, as much as possible, on the subject of cloth manufacturing and the appropriate use of products from the fashion industry, and I also wanted to subscribe to the magazine at some point, which were the main reasons I bought this book. The book also collates together color representations on paper of those, choices, materials, approaches, used in this industry, which is something of a great importance to all people who work for the built and created material environment, with its relation to the philosophical base on which the material world stands firm.
