An interesting piece that has caught our attention is this golden jubilee edition
of Vogue published in October 1966. It’s fascinating to travel back in time
looking at the articles from the previous decades ranging from 1916-1966,
reprinted exactly as published. This magazine alone shows how vogue has
progressed from simple, black and white illustrations to large fashion prints
taken by notable photographers such as David Bailey, Anthony Armstrong Jones,
Tessa Treager, Norman Parkinson and many more. It is also nice to see many
period advertisements and testimonials about shops and brands we still see
today, Harrods, Revlon, Harvey Nichols, L’Oreal and Gucci just being a few.
Model Donna Mitchell is featured on the front cover, photographed by David Bailey, whilst on the back is a similar styled illustration by George LePape from the cover in February 1919. This magazine was priced at 4 shillings and today this would be perfect for anyone interested in fashion and art!
