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 two hundred stunning images have been selected from an archive of more than fifteen hundred. 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 twentieth 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.

A VOGUE TREAT AND RETROSPECTIVE WITH STYLE. Its KATE cover is the icing on the cake!

if you appreciate VOGUES and their talent at creating great covers, then this allows you to have an extensive look from the very beginning to now, there is a small anecdote for each page to read. The early covers were more like illustrations and art. Then came the models, the real ones. So many different ways of framing a face one might say, and that's when one realises the importance of editors and art directors. It is also great fun to see the evolution of beauty and its standards, the difference in make up, fashion, postures and what is sexy.
I myself got this book as i collect VOGUES (UK) from the mid 1980's to now, as i adore the supermodels of the 1990s era. VOGUE was a major factor for these girls success, so was HARPER'S BAZAAR. HARPER'S should come up with a book like this.
This book has something for everyone, as long as you all appreciate images of women, all symbols of their own era.
there is at least 10 KATE MOSS covers featured here, and plenty of the 1990's supermodels. it will sadly show that VOGUE has begun to lose some of that VOGUE touch, due to their recent tendency to feature too often now, actresses and singers, insead of sticking to cover models who know best.
Still, nicely chunky, glossy and very well laid -out book. great cover of course.

A little gem. Don't expect the bigger hard back version, but for the money this is petite, compact and beautiful.

Great book
This is a visual treat for the eyes. I love the older covers that they show, I just wish they had printed more of them. A book you can look at time and time again.

Not exactly what I expected
Of the 240 odd pages approximately 100 are from really old Vogues where the covers were Illustrations instead of photographs. Read more
