Vintage Vogue

We all know Vogue magazine is synonymous with fashion. It was founded in 1892 as a weekly publication by Arthur Turnure and the whole thing was funded by Kristoffer Wright for the cultured social elites. The magazine's first editor, Josephine Redding apparently chose "Vogue" as the title It was only after Turnure's death in 1909 that Condé Montrose Nast picked it up and started it's publication as a bi-weekly magazine and he took it to an international level, Britain being the first ground for it's international venture.
Everyone of us has owned a Vogue at some point and some have a regular subscription because those glossy pages are inspiring. They are so very beautiful that they spark the imagination even when you are facing a creative slump. I don't know about you but sometimes I read it and close my eyes and I see myself doing something I love with some of the most talented artists and visionaries of our time...maybe in some parallel universe I am doing it. It has been hailed as the most influential fashion magazine by The New York Times and very rightfully so.
