Founded in 1916, British Vogue has forged its own path from the very start. From the trauma and austerity of two world wars through to the freedom of the swinging Sixties, the rise of the supermodel to the groundbreaking editorial direction of Edward Enninful: the magazine's chameleonic ability to move with the times has ensured its perennial status at the vanguard of British cool. The book draws on hitherto unseen archives and behind-the-scenes interviews with Vogue insiders including stylist Grace Coddington, editor Alexandra Shulman and fashion editor Lucinda Chambers.

Задумывались ли вы когда-нибудь, благодаря чему появляется тот или иной тренд в одежде? Почему, например, корсет – элемент средневекового гардероба – снова вошел в моду уже в XXI веке? «Игра престолов», «Друзья», «Эйфория», «Аббатство Даунтон» – многие сериалы повлияли и продолжают влиять на модную индустрию.

'Look' er en bog om tøj, tekstiler og mode. Om at læse og blive læst, og om den transformative kraft, der findes i at klæde sig på, klæde sig ud og skabe et look. Om stoffet mellem os og resten af verden. I 'Look' podes tøj og læsning på hinanden; i en række tekster, som spænder fra essayistik til lyrisk prosa, undersøger Ida Holmegaard tøj som sprog og materiale. Det er en bog om tøjets roller i litteraturen, i at skabe og omskabe køn, i politiske protester, i magtforhold, i sex, kærlighed og på det prekære arbejdsmarked.

Vogue magazine started, like so many great things do, in the spare room of someone's house. But unlike other such makeshift projects that flare up then fizzle away, Vogue burnt itself into our cultural consciousness. Today, 125 years later, Vogue spans 22 countries, has an international print readership upwards of 12 million and nets over 67 million monthly online users. Uncontested market leader for a century, it is one of the most recognisable brands in the world and a multi-million dollar money-making machine. It is not just a fashion magazine, it is the establishment.

I used to love the rattle and whoosh of my grandma's buttons as they scattered from their Quality Street tin. An inlaid wooden chest the size of a shoe box holds Lynn Knight's button collection. A collection that has been passed down through three generations of women: a chunky '60s-era toggle from a favourite coat, three tiny pearl buttons from her mother's first dress after she was adopted as a baby, a jet button from a time of Victorian mourning. Each button tells a story.
