Vogue: The Gown

A collection of over 300 images from Vogue’s archive of photography, curated by former Vogue features editor Jo Ellison
Illustrated with fabulous images from Vogue’s archive, Vogue: The Gown is the ultimate book for fashion lovers.
In Vogue: The Gown, Jo Ellison has gathered more than 300 images and grouped them into five thematic chapters: Classical, Fantasy, Drama, Decorative and Modern.
The book provides an evocative celebration of almost a century of fashion history, showcasing the work of photographers including Tim Walker, Nick Knight, David Bailey, Herb Ritts, Norman Parkinson, Corinne Day, Cecil Beaton and Horst.
Something about a gown’s intrinsic construction, unashamed opulence and  sheer feminine romance ignites in us the promise of fairy-tale adventure  and unparalleled glamour. The magical gowns featured here give full  reign to those fantasies, be they the sublime yet simple classical  creations of Madame Grés, the heavenly bodies sculpted by Azzedine  Alaïa, the lean, seductive lines of a Deco-inspired silhouette or huge  tulle poufs fit for a princess.
Now available with a luxurious cloth cover, this is essential reading for fashionistas everywhere.
