Publisher's Synopsis
In more than 2000 issues, British Vogue magazine has acted as cultural barometer, putting fashion in the context of the larger world in which we live - how we dress, how we entertain, what we eat, listen to, watch, who leads us, excites us and inspires us. The century's most talented photographers, illustrators and artists have contributed to it. In Lee Miller it had, unexpectedly, its own war photographer; in Norman Parkinson, Cecil Beaton, David Bailey, Snowdon and Mario Testino the greatest portrait and fashion photographers of their generation; and in Beaton and Irving Penn two giants of 20th century photography. Decade by decade, 'Vogue 100' celebrates the greatest moments in fashion, beauty and portrait photography.
