Vogue Covers: On Fashion's Front Page

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.

C'est un très beau livre, offrant de magnifiques photos, des débuts du magazine jusqu'à aujourd'hui. Au travers de couvertures marquantes, émaillées d'anecdotes amusantes, étonnantes ou historiques mais toujours pertinentes, on découvre l'histoire de ce magazine, les évolutions de la mode mais aussi le travail complexe d'un éditeur. Je recommande vivement ce livre pour les amatrices de mode et/ou de Vogue.

Es ist eine echte Zeitreise die man da macht. Toll wie dieses Buch durch die einzelnen Epochen und Ihre Stile führt. Wie sich Mode, Ideen, Style, Fotografie oder auch das Bild der Frau verändert haben. Eine echte Kaufempfehlung, auch wenn ich das Format etwas zu klein empfinde. Ich hätte es schöner gefunden, wenn man das Format des Vogue-Magazines genommen hätte. Wirkt ein wenig gedankenlos. deshalb gibt es von mir insgesamt vier Sterne.

Great price, received in perfect condition. Proud to present this as a gift.

Fue un regalo para una amiga pero al verlo abrirlo pude ojearlo un poco. Me esperaba que el formato fuese más grande pero pese a ello, la calidad de la impresión, el gramaje del papel y los colores son una pasada y está muy bien. Empieza desde las portadas ilustradas de Vogue hasta como se empieza a introducir la fotografía. Es un buen regalo para fanáticos de la moda y de las revistas de moda!
