Vanity Fair 100 Years From the Jazz Age to Our Age
Vanity Fair 100 Years showcases a century of personality and power, art and commerce, crisis and culture--both highbrow and low--in this collection of images that graced the pages of magazine, and some published for the very first time. Edited by Vanity Fair editor Graydon Carter, this sumptuous book takes a decade-by-decade look at the world as seen by the magazine, stopping to describe the incomparable editor Frank Crowninshield and the birth of the Jazz Age Vanity Fair , the magazine's controversial rebirth in 1983, and the history of the glamorous Vanity Fair Oscar Party. A gorgeous coffee table book to enjoy, gift, and display. "The book is a stunning artifact that begets staring, less for the words and publishing industry than as an exercise in visual storytelling reflected through the prism of society and celebrity.
