Christmas in Vogue

I just love old Vogue covers! During the 1920’s right through to the 1950’s and early 1960’s, they showcased the work of some of the leading artist’s and photographers of the day. They were full of wit and humour and Christmas issues were no exception. Nowadays I find the covers somewhat lacking in imagination and somewhat bland.


Here are some covers from Christmas’ past that really get me in the mood. They were exotic and full of colour and heavily stylised, symbolising the lavish aspect of the season with loads of savoir faire!
