Vogue: Twentieth Century Fashion


The photographs are as brilliant as you'd expect for a book published in conjunction with Vogue.

The author, a former writer for Vogue, seems too eager to give the magazine credit where it may not be due.


The preferred proportions for an Edwardian woman were a 50 inch chest and 15 inch waist. This biological impossibility was acheived through the aid of the ironically titled "Health Corset." Despite being so bound and stuffed into their clothes society women changed their outfits six times a day.
Aldous Huxley wrote for Vogue for years.
Vogue patterns started before WWI. Readers would send in a picture from Vogue and $.50, and one little pattern maker would send them a pattern for that outfit. All patterns were European 36.
From a Vogue article published in 1976: "Style is independent of fashion. Those who have style can indeed accept or ignore fashion. For them fashion is not something to be followed, it is rather something to be set, to select from or totally reject. Style is spontaneous, inborn. It is the gloriously deliberate, unpremeditated but divine gift of the few."
