A collection of 100 postcards, each featuring a striking cover from American Vogue. From early aspirational illustrations to modern celebrity photography, this is a stunning selection of Vogue's most dazzling images. Since its launch in 1892, Vogue has brought sophistication to its readers around the world. Early illustrations from artists including George Wolfe Plank, Olive Tilton, Pierre Brissaud, and Eduardo Garcia Benito saw ethereal figures of fantasy develop into red-lipped flappers, and as colour photographs began to appear, the women transformed again: from Surrealist images by Horst P. Horst to 'women in the life of the moment', captured by Irving Penn. From the fifties onwards, Vogue women became more accessible still, as models and stars like Elizabeth Taylor, Goldie Hawn, Cindy Crawford, and Cher, with their own distinct personalities, appeared through the lenses of Richard Avedon and Snowdon. Vogue covers now are the epitome of style and beauty, with such illustrious photographers as Mario Testino, Annie Leibovitz, Steven Klein, and Patrick Demarchelier photographing stars like Lady Gaga, Kirsten Dunst, and Kate Moss, celebrating female icons across modern culture.

Created by industry leader Vogue Knitting, this book offers 90+ pages of special colorwork paper that features stitch outlines rather than rectangles—so knitters can grasp what their finished project will actually look like. Knitters who enjoy creating their own colorwork patterns now have a fun, effective, and easier way to work! The innovative pages in Vogue Knitting: Knitter’s Colorwork Paper have outlines in the V shape of an actual knit stitch rather than the rectangles of ordinary knitting graph paper. This lets you create a better representation of what your finished item will actually look like. More than 90 pages of two common knitting gauges allow plenty of room for hundreds of patterns. Knitters can use the 5 stitches by 6 rows gauge for stranded colorwork and the 6 stitches by 8 rows gauge for intarsia motifs.

The book is as fun to use as it is practical, and will leave knitters wondering why this hasn’t been done before.
