For the first time, this book brings together in one volume nearly a century of covers both illustrated and photographic. Brilliant, captivating and full of life, this is the face of the world s most influential magazine and the original style bible. I also looked at the updated version, which I like a great deal, but the cover they chose was inferior in my opinion -- somehow I don't think a sheer dress is classic enough to represent Vogue as a monumental entity over a century year old. While it was old news at this point to see a man on the cover of Vogue magazine, seeing a naked man on the cover wasn't something America had accepted or been prepared for.

There is always a reason that they person on the cover is there and Vogue captures them at their most important moments, making a statement month after month. She's such an unquestioned icon, but I wonder if anyone else read this book and can clearly see how her regime has overseen a deterioration of a once great fashion magazine into a magazine like all the others, with too many covers of Wintour's celebrity friends and way too much text. Instead of capitalizing on her avant garde style, they seemed to strip it all away and go with a simplistic style that caught people off guard and drew them towards this issue.
