Julie SummersBritish Vogue: The Biography of an Icon

Very interesting book

I am not interested in fashion but I love photography. From the front cover to the internal plates, the photographs are fabulous and iconic. The surprise for a fashion-phobe is the elegant writing that draws you in to every chapter. I don't read Vogue but this superbly written history is an eye opener and must read for fashion fans and those who just enjoy excellent social history.

A great read. A fantastic romp through a century of history as reported in British Vogue, and the colourful characters who created and contributed to it. So many facts that will surprise and delight. You certainly don't need to be a fashionista to enjoy this superb book.

I loved reading this book. The author gives you a fascinating insight into the 20th Century. Alongside interesting and amusing stories about the main characters there is the history of the 20th Century.The book goes along at a really good pace and is an excellent read. Each chapter takes you through a decade and it is difficult not to keep going!I loved reading all the background to the photo shoots and getting snippets of information about the main players.I recommend you buy this book and give one to a friend for Christmas. Well worth it!
