"A tribute to the artists and the designers―and a touch of nostalgia."― The Guardian The celebration of the art of looking good has always demanded talent, vision, and style, and the artists recruited to fill the pages of Vogue since 1909―when it was taken over by Condé Nast― have possessed these qualities in abundance. Their brilliant drawings chronicle not only fashion but also, with wit and delicacy, the whole comedy of manners that is the international social round.William Packer, painter, writer, and art critic, collected the best drawings from over seventy years of Vogue for this classic volume,which features work by hundreds of artists, including Edouard Benito, René Bouché, Salvador Dalí, Georges Lepape, Harriet Meserole, Douglas Pollard, and John Ward. 90 color and 211 black-and-white illustrations

The story of one of the century's great sculptors concentrates on Moore's own reflections and memories, as well as on those of his friends and colleagues, and discusses his victory over the public outrage that plagued his early work
