“The best cover is always the next one, the one you haven’t seen yet.“, says Anna Wintour. And the fact is Vogue has been on people’s mind for 120 years. Decade after decade, Vogue has shaped fashion history. Since 1892, the iconic magazine has been a chronicle of evolving culture and evolving style, featuring beautiful photographs by artists such as Irving Penn, Annie Leibovitz, Mario Testino, Steven Meisel, Richard Avedon, Herb Ritts, and Bruce Weber, along with the stories behind those iconic shots. So, My Design Week offers you 120 years of fashion, a review of Vogue covers decade after decade.
