This is the very special December 1969 - January 1970 double issue of the French edition of Vogue magazine. GUEST EDITED by Francoise Sagan.
Every December Paris Vogue commissions a different artist or personality to be the guest editor. This is the first ever time Vogue France commissioned a guest editor, and they chose the writer Francoise Sagan.
The cover is by Guy Bourdin from a super iconic jewellery shoot featured inside, which somewhat unusually for this issue, is complete! Most copies we find of this issue we normally frustratingly discover that pages from this important Bourdin jewellery story have been removed for tearsheets!
Also in this issue -
Jeane Moreau interviewed
Coco Chanel including a portrait by Henri Cartier Bresson
Veruschka in Columbia - 20 pages photographed by Franco Rubartelli
Guy Bourdin fashion shoot 16 pages including Jane Birkin and Serge Gainsbourgh portrait

Yves Saint Laurent and Pierre Cardin pay homage to their favourite paintings and recreate the images as photographs:
The Two Sisters (Theodore Chasseriau) by Yves Saint Laurent
Luncheon on the Grass (Monet) by Piarre Cardin
Both images are photographed by Gerard Martinet and the models wear clothes b Yves Saint Laurent and Pierre Cardin
All of these edited issues are incredible portfolios of art and ideas, this one is particularly rare from Decembre 1969 / Janvier 1970.
