Book Description:

Drawn from the peerless archives of British VOGUE and spanning a century, People in Vogue presents 400 images of the famous and infamous, as seen through the eye of the world’s premier fashion magazine.

The archives of British VOGUE define modern portraiture. Its collection remains a stylish barometer of the social and cultural changes that shaped the 20th century. Now, portrayed here are the great, the good, and the not so good. From princesses to rock stars, models to actors, society beauties to world leaders, these are the people who made an enduring mark on their age. And just as the pictures are a Who’s Who of the brilliant and beautiful, the selection of photographers is equally stellar: Beaton, Steichen, Penn, Snowdon, Parkinson, Bailey, and Testino, to name but a few. A magnificent pictorial record of a century and beyond, as stylish as those within its pages. Robin Derrick, Creative Director of British VOGUE, and Robin Muir, the magazine’s former picture editor, are the authors of Unseen Vogue, which PEOPLE magazine hailed as "a stunning visual catalog of fashion."
