It is emulated, it is copied, and it is dreamt of. It dictates who will rise to the pedestal, what will become a trend, and what will fade into the past. It is Vogue, the most influential magazine in the history of glossy publications.
How did a small social weekly from New York transform into the main voice of the fashion world? Before you is the biography of a legend: two world wars, ups and downs, eras and personalities forever captured on its pages.
Today, more than 130 years later, Vogue is published in 28 countries and unites over 100 million readers around the world. For more than a century, it has remained the unquestionable leader of glossies, one of the most recognizable brands on the planet and a symbol of global fashion.
This book answers the main question: who is behind this legend? By tracing the path from the social chronicles of the 19th century to Anna Wintour's digital empire, you will learn about the people who created the "bible of fashion" and understand why Vogue is not just a magazine. It is a style and a way of life.
