À propos de la quatrième de couverture

Throughout history, fashion models have occupied a curious position: while their faces were instantly familiar, virtually nothing else was known about them. But their impression upon Vogue's readership was always considerable - they reflect and represent the ever-changing ideal of beauty. In the 1950s, models such as Barbara Goalen and Fiona-Campbell Walter in Britain and Lisa Fonssagrives and Dorian Leigh in the US were the first to become household names and achieved the glamour and prestige that came with world fame. The supermodels of the 1990s turned the profession into a billion-dollar industry, and today models like Kate Moss, Claudia Schiffer and Gisele Bündchen are brand names.

The appeal of these sublime creatures never seems to wane. Shining a light on these women's lives, Vogue Model uses photographs and illustrations from more than ninety years of Vogue's history to tell the fascinating story of the real faces of fashion.
