For anyone researching magazine history, fashion photography, or the evolution of 20th century style this is a great starter book. It covers every little detail about the most influential American fashion magazine, Vogue, through illustrative photos and illuminating text that follow the chronolgy of Vogue from its inception to the modern day. I found the early chapters a bit over my head because they deal with American culture that's far removed from my conscious, but the later chapters that deal with Anna Wintour and Diana Vreeland as editors in chief are extremely informative and dynamic. ( ) So much better than I was prepared for. It's big, very big, which is great because it means they have room for actual text—so often this kind of thing is pretty pictures with no context, and that's absolutely not the case here. They delve into personalities of editors, design choices and the rationale behind them, looks at the major photographers, it's all here. I was entertained and enlightened, and it only escapes five stars because I wasn't moved to tears, say. I wish I could give it 4.5 on this site—it's just so close to perfection. (Note: 5 stars = amazing, wonderful, 4 = very good book, 3 = decent read, 2 = disappointing, 1 = awful, just awful. I'm fairly good at picking for myself so end up with a lot of 4s). I feel a lot of readers automatically render any book they enjoy 5, but I grade on a curve! aucune critique | ajouter une critique
"In Vogue is a look at the more than 100-year history of the world's most prestigious magazine. This compendium is illustrated with hundreds of covers and archival images from past Vogue editions, and features the work of some of the twentieth century's most respected artists, cover illustrators, and photographers - from Edward Steichen, Toni Frissell, and Erwin Blumenfeld to Irving Penn, Richard Avedon, Helmut Newton, Annie Leibovitz, Mario Testino, Steven Klein, Bruce Weber, and Herb Ritts." "In 1909, an entrepreneurial New Yorker named Conde Nast took charge of a struggling society journal and transformed it into the most influential and glamorous fashion magazine of the twentieth century. In Vogue traces the history, development, and importance of this media colossus - from its beginning as a social gazette in the late nineteenth century to the exploration of modern fashion photography and new visuals in the mid-twentieth century under the stewardship of editorial director Alexander Liberman and, more recently, Diana Vreeland and Grace Mirabella - to its status as the top style magazine today, under the leadership of Anna Wintour. The book explains the makings of the magazine - from the runway to the pages of Vogue." "The meticulously researched story incorporates first-person accounts, interviews with editors and photographers, and excerpts from articles written in the magazine by many world-renowned figures, including Truman Capote, Aldous Huxley, Richard Burton, and Federico Fellini."--BOOK JACKET.
