Book Review: VOGUE, The Covers

When I think Vogue, I think the height of stylish fashion - perfect dresses perfectly staged on perfect models. So when I received Vogue, The Covers from the people at Abrams, it was like getting the best part of over 100 years of Vogue magazine in one shot! Seriously....!



Vogue, The Covers by Dodie Kazanjian is just that - an illustrated photo book of nearly every Vogue cover from 1892 through 2010.  


Covers by famous photogs - Helmut Newton, Bruce Weber, Richard Avedon, Herb Ritts, Annie Leibowitz - they're all here.  Side-by-side it's so easy to see the rise and fall of trends in fashion, style, and photography.  


One of the neatest things is that I actually have some of these very magazines (yes, I admit, I have a few buried in the back of the closet).  




Of course I have the Madonna covers, and the 100th Anniversary issue from 1992 featuring the supermodels in white. Vogue, The Covers has 269 pages with 500 full color photos and illustrations. The $50 book even comes with five frameable prints.



This book is awesome! Get your copy here.

Apt. in Vogue...(Via Made By Girl)

Ironically enough with the death of Elizabeth Taylor yesterday, I was looking through Vogue & came across this home.  It belongs to a couple named Laura & Diego Garcia. I immediately noticed the HUGE pink painting/print on the wall of Elizabeth Taylor carefully placed in Laura's daughter's room! 

What an interesting piece for a nursery don't you think?? ......I LOVE it!

Anyway, Laura is a fashion designer, while Diego is a Musician. They met each other while in school & fell in love, BROKE UP then met again in Rome & hooked up again...this time for keeps! They now have a pretty baby daughter and a great place in New York City. Love that story....Lucky gal....enjoy!


The Taylor painting is by Russell Young
