Description

Vogue began in 1892 as a modest illustrated weekly of New York society to “celebrate the ceremonial side of life.” It was purchased by Condé Montrose Nast in 1905, who leveraged its privileged clientele to turn it into a profitable and elegant fashion magazine. Vogue pioneered the art of fashion photography with the work of, among others, Baron de Mayer, Edward Steichen, and Cecil Beaton. Since 1988 it has been ably guided by Anna Wintour.
