Brilliant! The 1920 covers are my favorite! Such rich colors & unique illustration styles.

Fascinating look at the fashion magazine Vogue through the years. The covers used to feature illustrations, then moved to models and finally models faces, rarely their entire bodies. Also, more emphasis on supermodels and celebs as the years went by and the magazine got heavier, more expensive and more upscale.

A great coffee- table book! with the exception of a very few covers, family friendly as well (which is more than I can say for most fashions mags). I also looked at the updated version, which I like a great deal, but the cover they chose was inferior in my opinion -- somehow I don't think a sheer dress is classic enough to represent Vogue as a monumental entity over a century year old.

Fascinating look at a selection of Vogue covers going back to late 1800's, back when the covers were drawings, up to present day. You can see the artistic and societal influences in each decade. I love the 1940's, where can see more of a focus on fashion on a budget (more dress patterns) in the midst of WWII for the average woman, and the 1950's covers, where you see what ladylike perfection looks like- the tailored silhouette, red lips, hats, gloves.

Today, Vogue is synonymous with Anna Wintour, who has been editor-in-chief since 1988. She's such an unquestioned icon, but I wonder if anyone else read this book and can clearly see how her regime has overseen a deterioration of a once great fashion magazine into a magazine like all the others, with too many covers of Wintour's celebrity friends and way too much text. The art is gone. ...more

I was the happier girl on earth I mean owning this is something really really special!!

This new collection explores the beautiful covers from American Vogue. Not only does this timeline showcase the artful covers, a history of fashion and art is also presented. The book also has Vogue covers from the 1800's. This is a wonderful coffee table book and a great edition for any Vogue lovers out there.

This was fun. I was looking for a certain type of image and decided to browse this. Some amazing beautiful photos over the years splashed the cover of this magazine. (i think i liked the 40s and 50s best, they had character and almost told stories all by themselves...)

This is a great history companion for the Vogue reader. Especially for Vogue-gone-by. The classics.
