This lavish, beautifully illustrated coffee table book includes five frameable Vogue cover prints that can be removed from the back of the book. Vogue: The Covers is a must-have for every fashion lover and collector. Featuring both classic covers from the magazine’s 125-year history and selections from the modern era, the book is organized chronologically by decade, moving from early illustrated covers to contemporary photography and reflecting shifts in style, culture, and media over time. Unforgettable recent covers include celebrated figures such as Michelle Obama, Kim Kardashian, Rihanna, and Lena Dunham. For readers and collectors alike, it offers not just a showcase of iconic imagery but a visual record of how Vogue ’s covers have mirrored changing tastes and trends across generations. From Gallery Met founder and author Dodie Kazanjian, Vogue: The Covers is designed for gifting, sharing, and display. Review: The Older Covers are Works of Art! - 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 art very often took a back seat or were totally missing. By the 70's, the usual cover was just a closeup of a person, often a celebrity. These are fun to page through for the history of celebrity (and hairstyles and make-up trends), but not beautiful the way the old covers were. The exception, I must say, is a closeup of Elizabeth Taylor on the April 15, 1971, cover. Wow. The more recent covers have the handicap, when looking at them for beauty, of having lots of text all over, frequently large text. I realize that the text has a purpose, it's needed to grab the potential buyer. But it certainly detracts from the cover image, especially when you compare recent covers to those of yore. Each person paging through this book will find different favorite covers, for different reasons. It's certainly hard to pick only a couple. But I gave it a try, and scanned two covers and added the photos above. I was lucky enough to receive this book as a gift. I would recommend it for anyone's Wish List! Edited to Add, 09/2016: Now you can get a set of postcards with Vogue covers through the ages. Lots of fun!
