"In Vogue encapsulates the history of twentieth-century fashion in Britain. In Vogue is not just fashion in its narrower sense of women's clothes; but fashion in its wider context seen influenced by social and cultural attitudes, by literature, by the visual and performing arts, captured with all the customary espieglerie, perception and wit for which Vogue is famed. In Vogue builds up a composite picture of the woman, year by year, from her hair to her shoes, to her scent, her stance and her cut of clothes. Here, too, are the women that wore them-Theda Bera, Lady Diana Cooper, Gertie Lawrence, Vivien Leigh, Audrey Hepburn, Twiggy-the designers who dressed them-Poiret, Vionnet, Chanel, Dior, Mary Quant, Saint Laurent-and the artists who projected the image-Steichen, Beaton, Horst, Bailey, Eric and Bouche."
