Description

British Vogue has always been far more than just a fashion magazine.

For more than a century it has defined the tastes and style of successive generations, playing a leading role in the continuing story of Britain’s national identity.

From wartime austerity to the swinging sixties, it is a chronicle of arts, politics, health, travel and much more in addition to fashion.

Now, for the very first time, the fascinating history of British Vogue is told in full.

Beautifully illustrated with images from the Vogue photographic collections, the book draws on hitherto unseen archives and behind-the-scenes interviews with Vogue insiders including stylist Grace Coddington, editor Alexandra Shulman and fashion editor Lucinda Chambers.

This is the story of a legend and the individuals who created (and curated) it, told against the backdrop of an extraordinary century of change, upheaval and beauty.
