Vogue Portraits tells the story of our time through a century of defining images—collected in a spectacular two-volume slipcased set.
Vogue has always been about much more than fashion. At the heart of its identity, relevance, and power are history-defining photographs that have accompanied the title’s legendary profiles and interviews.
Here, compiled across two volumes, are more than 320 of these portraits, drawn from the magazine’s extraordinary archive and taken by photographers such as Annie Leibovitz, Irving Penn, Steven Meisel, Peter Lindbergh, Richard Avedon, and many more.
The portraits are of actors and icons, pop stars and power brokers, divas and dealmakers, activists, intellectuals, champions, and troublemakers—figures who have shaped culture across a century.
Across these two volumes you’ll find Cate Blanchett, Kirsten Dunst, Madonna, Pablo Picasso, John F. Kennedy, Emma Stone, Amanda Seyfried, Truman Capote, Raquel Welch, Elizabeth Taylor, Anne Hathaway, Nicole Kidman, Joan Didion, Elon Musk, Marilyn Monroe, Audrey Hepburn, and many more.
Curated by Vogue’s head of features, Taylor Antrim, with introductions by Lena Dunham and Vogue’s head of editorial content, Chloe Malle, and with a foreword by Condé Nast’s global editorial director, Anna Wintour, this beautiful two-book collection presents 640 pages of rare photography. It’s a definitive volume designed to be collected, displayed, and returned to again and again.
Inside, the collection is meticulously organized across thematic chapters:
- Screen Legends and Movie Stars: Acclaimed actors, directors, and Hollywood icons.
