A landmark celebration of a century of personality and power, art and commerce, fashion and photography, celebrity and culture from the pages of one of the world's most influential magazines.
A stunning artifact. (New York Times Book Review)
Vanity Fair 100 Years showcases a century of extraordinary images, unforgettable personalities, and defining cultural moments--many published for the first time. From its original launch in 1913 through the Jazz Age, the Great Depression, the glamour of Hollywood, the rebirth of the magazine in 1983, and the image-saturated modern era, Vanity Fair has chronicled the people, events, and ideas that have shaped contemporary life.
Edited by longtime Vanity Fair editor Graydon Carter, this sumptuous volume explores the magazine decade by decade, revealing how it captured the worlds of politics, fashion, entertainment, literature, business, and society with unmatched wit, style, and journalistic ambition.
Along the way, readers encounter the visionaries who defined the magazine, from legendary editor Frank Crowninshield to the writers, photographers, illustrators, and designers whose work helped create its distinctive voice.
Featuring iconic photography, celebrated covers, rare archival material, and groundbreaking visual storytelling, this collection highlights the work of many of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries' most influential photographers and artists. The result is both a history of a remarkable publication and a portrait of modern culture itself.
A must-have for readers interested in photography, fashion, journalism, Hollywood, popular culture, publishing, and American history, Vanity Fair 100 Years is an essential coffee table book and a stunning visual record of the last century.
The book is a stunning artifact that begets staring, less for the words and publishing industry than as an exercise in visual storytelling reflected through the prism of society and celebrity. The best photographers, the best designers, the best illustrators all came together over Vanity Fair's contents, and the book unfolds in page after page of stunningly rendered images, some iconic and some that never even ran. --New York Times Book Review
