Judy M: Didn’t realise this is almost all US covers which was very disappointing - but I do remember lots of them from when I bought American Vogue (as a 14 year old) for the Twiggy pictures and then for up and coming US designers like Calvin Klein and Perry Ellis, but wish it has also shown British Vogue covers. Pleased that models’ names are printed though.

Nicolas Lu: Before buying this book, here are a few things to know:
1- This book is mainly cover pictures (except for the book and chapters introductions). If you like fashion and art then you will like this.
2- If you are into vintage stuff then this book is cool, especially because covers from 1892 to 2017.
3- You learn about fashion, world and magazine histories through the covers

Ruperto: Una impresionante recopilación de cubiertas de la célebre "Vogue" en formato amplio y buena edición (tapa dura, buen papel, etc.). Se trata de un libro primordialmente visual : El texto es mínimo y se reduce a cuatro o cinco páginas de prólogos y un párrafo de introducción a cada década de vida de la publicación. Todo lo demás son exclusivamente reproducciones de las cubiertas, cada una con un pie que indica fecha, autor de la ilustración / foto, y a menudo el nombre de la modelo o famosa que aparece en ella, si procede. Se trata por tanto de un festival para la vista.

La gran longevidad de "Vogue" (surgida ¡ a finales del siglo XIX ! ) obliga a hacer una selección de portadas, y aquí, evidentemente, está el gran reto de la autora del libro. Uno de los errores cometidos por otros en obras de este tipo es abarcar demasiado, lo que obliga a reproducir las portadas a un triste tamaño de sellos de correos ; por contra, hay también quien prefiere reproducir todas las portadas a toda página, con lo cual la selección ha de ser mucho más restringida y se queda corta. Dodie Kazanjian ha intentado encontrar un término medio : a excepción de la primera década...

Happy ReaderHappy Reader: This is a stunning book. Almost all photos, so it's one luscious page after another.

The first chapter is of covers from the "1890's - 1900's". After that, each chapter covers one decade, starting with the 1910s and ending with the 2000s.

The Forward and the Introduction to the whole book are OK, but it's the short & sweet introduction to each chapter that is fun to read. It lists important milestones of the decade, not just in fashion, but in every area of life. So, for example, the introduction to the first chapter, the 1890's - 1900's, includes:
"... flocking to Oscar Wilde's "Importance of Being Ernest" ... and snapping photos with George Eastman's lightweight, user-friendly Kodak box camera ... "Vogue" makes its debut..."

This book shows off only a sampling of the covers, not all of them, which makes you wonder what wonderful covers may have been left out. Illustrations were used until the 1930's, when they started using photographs for covers, though not every cover. In the 40's, the covers are all photographs, but generally stylized artsy photographs. In the 60's, Vogue started the celebrity covers, which meant that fashion and graphic design and...
