Oh so Vogue

Ok I can assume most of you will agree Vogue is the ultimate fashion bible. Last year I got the 'In Vogue' book which portrays Vogue's up most beauty with an endless collection of the magazines illustrations from its lifespan. Upon reading this I found an image of the very first Vogue cover, dated 17th December 1892. This image, designed by Harry McVickar remained the cover of the magazine until 1906. The cover in itself is stunning, with such intricate detail, however the contrast with the covers that grace today's issues of vogue is unreal! Furthermore, I also got 'Unseen Vogue, The Secret History of A Fashion Photogorapher' for Christmas last year, which exploits all the images that never quite made it to the magazine over the years. I highly recommend having a look at both these books if you're a sucker for illustrations and photography like myself, definitely worth the look!
