Recently I went to the Vogue 100: A Century of Style exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery; which is part of British Vogue's centenary celebrations. It showcased the front covers of Vogues over the last 100 years. The exhibition worked in reverse, starting with the 2010s and moving back in reverse chronologically to 1916.
It was so interesting to see how cultural aspects and history affected the covers over the years. A big point is that now, models on the covers are always known but at the beginning a big feature was art or unknown models. Familiar photos of Cara Delevigne, Naomi Campbell and Kate Moss were on display. In addition the transition from film photography to digital was a big feature of the exhibition.
The incredible exhibition is not on for much longer, so go before you regret not seeing fantastic photos from Mario Testino, Tim Walker, Horst and Helmut Newton.
