Vogue

The world’s most influential and well-known fashion magazine… Of course you know I’m talking about Vogue.

Some call it the fashion bible; scour the website daily perhaps even hourly to find the latest fashion news but there is no doubt that Vogue is extremely popular worldwide. British Vogue deemed to be one of the most commercial of the Vogue magazines is also the most profitable edition of Vogue apart from US Vogue.  

It was in 1916 that Conde Nast spread the publication overseas to Britain. The cover of the first British Vogue edition of September 1916 looks so different to today’s editions; illustrated by Helen Thurlow for Elspeth Champcommunal (the 1916 editor).

And in comparison to today’s price of £4.10, one shilling is a bit different. Just shows how time and fashion changes.
