Rizzoli’s In Vogue represents over 100 years worth of the magazine's most memorable images, and analyzes its influence on over a century of fashion. With unprecedented access to Vogue’s vast archives, authors Alberto Oliva and Norberto Angeletti have collated an impressive collection of illustrations, photographs, and contributions from the magazine's editors and photographers. Like well-behaved children running amuck in their mother's library, the authors picked some pretty things, some amusing things and some rather serious things.
