230 British Vogue Covers - History of Fashion in Pictures ...

Do you know how old British Vogue is? Just make a guess! 50 years old? 70? Looks like it's been around even longer than that!!! And in 2016 it celebrated its 100 anniversary!!!

Can you imagine, this fabulous fashion magazine has been printed since 1916!!! And boy, haven't the fashions changed over the years... I had no idea they started to use models for the covers only around 50-s and before that there were just pictures of women...

Amazing, huh? Wait till you see all Vogue ****cover girls from the 60-s and 70-s and the first covers of Twiggi, Linda Evangelista, Kate Moss, Gisele and many many other super models!

I was so amazed at how these covers in just a couple of photos can

represent the whole era

! The clothes, the makeup, the faces! I remember the Linda Evangelista and Christy Turlington craze back from when I was a kid, I so wanted to have Linda's cat-like eyes and Christy's big lips, I would take my Mom's lipstick and put as much as possible around my mouth to see if I could look like her...

And what cover girls you wanted to be like? Please, tell...

Where Thoughts and Opinions Converge

Dear Girls, I am so glad you enjoyed these pictures! :)) And Diana, the first picture of Kate Moss came as a huge surprise to me too! She looks so young and fresh in it! I can't believe it was taken only 6 years ago!

My Mother was on the cover in the mid-1960's. Magdalena Morvay - where I can access back issues?

Totally loved it. What a treat. Thank You!

who was the stylist for this editorial?

This is more than fantastic...and I definitely must agree with you that these photos represent the whole era! It's like im in some kind of time machine..:) anyway, I'm an old-fashioned girl, so I would like to go back to 50's...and be something like Lisa Fonssagrives, Jean Patchett...actually I'm just in love with 50's :) these days style disappears...:(

Wow what a great post of history and photos of Vogue...you did your homework for this one. I have to say I love the art of the early Vogue covers. And Im not a big fan of her but look how pure and innocent Kate Moss looks in 1993! And I love Kate Winslet's cover on page 12! Olga you really are a girl of fashion :).
