Vintage 70s BRITISH EDITION OF VOGUE MAGAZINE - Rare Diamond Jubilee ANNIVERSARY ISSUE Celebrating 60 years in Vogue from 1916 to 1976.
For the "DIAMOND JUBILEE COVER: "The title Vogue was especially engraved by Ireland's Waterford Glass. Each stage - blowing, shaping engraving on a rotating copper wheel - was worked by hand by Waterford's chief designer, Mr Havel, and their top craftsmen."
The actual word 'Vogue' on the cover was engraved crystal re-photographed by James Mortimer for the red cover image.
The back cover is a range of classic covers and decades with the VOGUE logo reversed, very unusual!
"Vogue was first published in New York in 1892. British Vogue became the first European edition in 1916 and, said Condé Nast in 1922, 'prospered progiously from its infancy".
The issue goes through 6 decades of fashion, from World War 1 which emancipated fashion:
a shorter, wider, less restricting skirt replaced the pre-war hobble, and women in war wore trousers. As an antidote, off-duty "glad rags" developed an exotic Eastern feeling helped by hats and hairstyles,"
to 1929 when "knees disappeared", to "Dior's explosive New Look in 1947"
to "fashion revitalised by the emergence In London of a new group of inventive young designers lead by Mary Quant, Jean Muir and Ossie Clark" to today... "When neither length of skirt nor degree off it is crucial and rules have been abolished, freedom of choice is absolute."
Twiggy and Joan Juliet Buck both reveal the highs and lows of their ten years in fashion inc photos of Twiggy.
