As Anna Wintour says, “The best cover is always the next one, the one you haven’t seen yet.” And yet we couldn’t help but take a look back at 120 years of the greatest: An illustrated history of the most memorable covers, Vogue: The Covers (Abrams) collects more than 300 of the stunning and provocative images that simultaneously transformed fashion as they documented those changes. Decade by decade, from the magazine’s 1892 debut to today, the book is both a chronicle of evolving culture and evolving style, featuring beautiful photographs by artists such as Irving Penn, Annie Leibovitz, Mario Testino, Steven Meisel, Richard Avedon, Herb Ritts, and Bruce Weber, along with the stories behind those iconic shots. Over a century after the magazine’s auspicious debut, Vogue’s covers continue to compel and influence; this book is a testament to their impact.
