Book Description

October 11, 2011
Nostalgia in Vogue celebrates the popular and poignant coming-of-age memoir columns that have been enchanting Vogue readers since 2000. This elegant volume collects a wonderful selection of Vogue’s famous “Nostalgia” columns and the stunning photographs that accompanied them. Writers, designers, models, and celebrities share coming-of-age stories based on a rich range of themes from fashion to art, Hollywood, music, childhood, work, and love, each triggered by an extraordinary photograph from Vogue’s history.
With a host of intriguing characters and stories, and images by legendary photographers such as Irving Penn, Richard Avedon, Henry Clarke, Helmut Newton, Horst P. Horst, and Henri Cartier-Bresson, Nostalgia in Vogue is both a visual treat and a fascinating read. Whether told from the point of view of a budding movie star or a teenager straining to make sense of the sophisticated adult world, each entry offers a unique slice of life sharply evocative of time and place. Nostalgia in Vogue is a must for devotees of fashion, pop culture, photography, and literary memoir and reaches across a readership of all ages. Text by Eve Macsweeney with a Foreword by Anna Wintour and essays by Joan Didion, Margaret Atwood, Patti Smith, Edmund White, Karl Lagerfeld, Carly Simon, John Galliano, Ann Packer, Anjelica Huston, Nora Ephron, A. M. Homes, and others.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"This October, Rizzoli celebrates Vogue’s literary column titled “Nostalgia” with the release of NOSTALGIA IN VOGUE edited by the magazine’s Eve MacSweeney, with a foreword by Anna Wintour. Written by some of the most influential people from various areas of the arts—Joan Didion, Margaret Atwood, Patti Smith, Edmund White, Karl Lagerfeld, Carly Simon, and others—each essay is accompanied by the photo that inspired it. Writing on themes ranging from fashion to love, thirty-seven well known public figures share coming-of-age stories that reveal how a particular image changed the course of their lives, while others remember old friends and familiar haunts captured on the magazine’s pages." ~Slamxhype

"Evocative, valuable, and all-around very nostalgic, this collector's item is a must for fashion junkies." ~Plastik

If you have been a regular reader of Vogue, you may have found it odd - and at the same time somehow appropriate - to find a Nostalgia column in a magazine featuring the newest fashions. But the newest fashions are particularly intriguing when compared and contrasted with the past.

And that is what thse columns do so well...take images, often iconic, from the past and let authors, photographers, and others write about how a clothing style or a favorite dress or designer affected their lives. Often brilliant and lively, these essays add a deeper perspective to the way fashion impacts us. These are first person essays and readers should relate to many of them.

Ever had a favorite piece of clothing that seemed to sum up the 50s, 60s, 70s or beyond? Have certain classic Vogue photos stuck with you through the years? Then this book should resonate with you.

This very special book definitely belongs on the shelf of anyone interested in the history of fashion, clothing trends, fashion photography, cultural change, and more. Plus it is simply fun to read and a great coffee table book, likely to spark conversations.

This book was a surprise - various folks remember Vogue and it's influence in their work and their lives. Some of it's funny, some of it profound, but it's a great example of how the simplest things can have a life long impact.

Great book for artists. People, faces, poses, and going back in time for some good ideas. Black and white and color photos work to give more depth and design.
