Vogue is one of the world’s most successful – and enduring – luxury brands. Vogue’s library of a million peerless pictures is celebrated in a new range of books that encapsulate the beauty, elegance and high production values of the brand. The Vogue portfolio series will become the definitive books on the subject,each volume providing a wealth of fabulous images accompanied by incisive commentaries from a team of excellent Vogue writers. Destined to become must-have visual sourcebooks for all those who love fashion, the series launches in autumn 2014 with Vogue:the gown.
Things change, life changes, styles come and go. But the gown remains. The gown survives. Even now, in an age of denim when we rarely, if ever, require eveningwear, the gown still holds us enthralled. Something about a gown’s intricate construction, unashamed opulence and sheer feminine romance still ignites in us the promise of fairytale adventure and unparalleled glamour. And lthough few will ever wear such as thing as the pink faille dress shot in a bomb-damaged mansion by photographer Clifford Coffin in June 1947, or indeed, the off-white tulle confection used to envelop Kate Moss announcing Vogue’s Fantastic Fashion Fantasy (December 2008), the fairy tale endures.
The following pages give full reign to those fantasies, be they the sublime yet simple classical creations of Madame Grès, the heavenly bodies sculpted by Azzedine Alaïa, the lean seductive lines of a Deco-inspired silhouette or huge,tulle pouffs fit for a princess. These are gowns to nurture the imagination and salve the soul – whatever the circumstances.
Review
Featuring the finest frocks and photos from 100 years of the fashion bible, Vogue: The Gown is a must for every well-dressed coffee table.
