5.0 out of 5 stars For photographers and fashion lovers everywhere, 31 Dec 2005
The images of this book are a collaboration of rejected pictures from the magazine 'Vogue'. However, it is much more than just photographs, each one is accompanied by a brief background of the photographer and the shoot, these untold stories are most intriguing.

If you have a love for photography, fashion ... or just pretty pictures! Then this book is for you, it covers the unofficial history of over 80 years, portraying with each page a photographic advance too experimental to publish at the time, or a model's pose too controversial to be the face of Vogue.

The book also takes the reader through the endless loop of fashion: the high glamour of the 40's and 50's which rears its elegant head again in the 90's; the cropped trousers of the 60's who plague our high-streets today; the nude lips and dramatic eyeliner of the 70's is a look that reappears 30 years later.

These are not just photographs, the book proves it, each has a story, often accompanied by letters between editor and photographer. It covers the greats - Cecil Beaton, Herb Ritts, David Bailey, Irving Penn, Patrick Demarchelier, Mario Testino and hundreds more.

This is a truly wonderful book to own, the images alone are breathtaking considering their context and the fact that many were the first of their kind. These photographic artists weren't commissioned for new ideas by a fashion magazine who wasn't ready for such experimental images - a magazine reflective of society over the years.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for photography students., 21 April 2008
I actually bought this as a gift for my sister who is a photography student. She really really liked it as it reveals a bunch of photos classed as rejects from the pages of Vogue. Not only that, but information on the photographers, what they were thinking etc. Good buy if you are into fashion and photography.

5.0 out of 5 stars Really interesting book :), 30 Dec 2008
By A. Luker (Ascot, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is a great book, i really recommend it. If you are into the history of Vogue and alo fashion/photography its perfect. Great inspiration if you are into the creative side of fashion like myself.

Perfect book to just flick through every now and then- it just shows that the standards for Vogue magazine are extremely high as these were rejects! Its well worth the money so give it a read as you wont think its a disappointment or waste of money.
