1950s in Vogue - Rebecca C. Tuite

One of only seven editors in chief in American Vogues history, Jessica Daves has remained one of fashions most enigmatic figures. Diana Vreelands direct predecessor in the role, it is Daves who first catapulted the magazine into modernity. A testament to a changing America on every level, Davess Vogue was the first to embrace a high/low blend of fashion in its pages and to introduce world-renowned artists, literary greats, and cultural icons into every issue, offering the reader a complete vision of how design, interiors, architecture, entertaining, art, literature, and culture all connected and contributed to refining and defining taste and personal style. Daves profiled icons of American style, from John and Jackie Kennedy to Charles and Ray Eames, alongside Dior, Chanel, Givenchy, and Balenciaga creations. Organized in multifaceted, thematic chapters, 1950s in Vogue features carefully curated photographs, illustrations, and page spreads from the Vogue archives (with iconic images as well as lesser-known wonders), and unpublished photographs and letters from Jessica Davess personal archives. Revealing a fascinating and hitherto little-explored moment in Vogue history, 1950s in Vogue is a must-have reference for lovers of fashion, photography, and style.
