In the years between the wars Vogue magazine reflected a world of inimitable glamour and luxury.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOrganised thematically, on topics from seasons to travel, sport and society in wartime, it offers delightful reading; as well as tit bits from the regular column 'How one Lives from Day to Day', there are articles on topics from bringing out débutante to dealing with servants; from joys of travel to the discomforts of shooting parties, by such contributors as Nancy Mitford, Cecil Beaton \u0026amp; Noel Coward.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIllustrated throughout with the work of the greatest photographers-Beaton, Steichen, Horst, and Hoyningen-Heune- and artists from Christian Berard and Marcel Vertes to Eric and Willaumez, it also forms a stunning visual record. The work of these artists combined with the caricatures of Fish, Topolski and others, make a stylish counterpart to the formal society portraits, and evocative snaps of the famous on the Riviera, at the Embassy Club, playing polo on long island, or at a country house party. How the privileged few lived in the hard interwar years, and the conspicuous self indulgence which vogue then reflected, make startling reading today.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith such a rare cache of material to draw upon, using American, British and French sources, Society In vogue represents a glamorous amusing and also thought provoking book, beautiful to look at and entertaining to read.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cfont style=\"\" size=\"3\"\u003e\u003ci style=\"\"\u003e\u003cfont face=\"Arial\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"\u003eExcellent condition as shown.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cfont face=\"Arial\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"\u003eThis book originally cost £25 in 1992.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cfont face=\"Arial\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"\u003ePlease ask any questions. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cfont face=\"Arial\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"\u003e...Check out our other rare fashion magazines \u0026amp; books...\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cfont face=\"Arial\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"\u003ePaypal preferred\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cfont face=\"Western\"\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003ci\u003e220313_5654    2003\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"BOOKS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41438110351446,"sku":"220313_5654.CR2","price":85.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0060\/4882\/files\/57_457c153a-88ea-4d49-975a-1dd865ad5751.png?v=1717669668","url":"https:\/\/elegantlypapered.com\/products\/lee-miller-cecil-beaton-benito-christian-berard-society-in-vogue-book","provider":"ELEGANTLY PAPERED Vintage Fashion Magazines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
