Vogue is a fashion and lifestyle magazine covering many topics including fashion, beauty, culture, living, and runway. Vogue began as a weekly newspaper in 1892 in the United States, before becoming a monthly publication years later.
The British Vogue was the first international edition launched in 1916, while the Italian version Vogue Italia has been called the top fashion magazine in the world. As of today, there are 23 international editions.
In 1892, Arthur Baldwin Turnure, an American businessman, founded Vogue as a weekly newspaper in the United States. From its inception, the magazine targeted the new New York upper class. The magazine at this time was primarily concerned with fashion, with coverage of sports and social affairs included for its male readership.

| 1916 March 15 Paris Openings Number Cover by Robert E. Locher Robert E. Locher (1888-1956) was born in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. He spent the majority of his career travelling between cities such as New York, Philadelphia, Paris, and his hometown. Upon moving to New York City he started gaining a reputation for his theatre and costume designs as well as illustrations in major publications including Vogue, Vanity Fair, Town & Country and House & Garden. He was hired by Baron Adolph de Meyer, Vogue’s first staff photographer, to work at his interior design firm and Locher quickly became one of the leading modern designers of the 20th century. Prolific during his time and well respected by his contemporaries, some of Locher’s clients included Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney, Mrs. Benjamin Rogers and Juliana Force. The aforementioned apartments and town homes in New York City, the new Whitney Museum of American Art, and the Hotel Nacionale in Havana, Cuba are examples of some of his largest interior commissions. Locher was also a professor and a special critic at the Parsons School of Design in New York, specializing in advertising and costume design. Locher who, from an early age, was a close friend of artist Charles Demuth inherited his estate in 1943, This included 120 E. King Street and the surrounding buildings as well as his unsold watercolours. Locher quickly closed his studio in New York, and moved to Lancaster with his partner Richard Weyand. They lived and worked in the buildings that now house the Demuth Museum until his death in 1956. Robert E. Locher: A Modern Classic features furniture, housewares, costume designs, and other work by this all but forgotten artist who mastered fusing traditional design elements with modern aesthetic that was praised around the world. |

| 1917 March 15 Spring Fashions Number Cover by Georges Lepape Arguably one of the most underappreciated Art Deco artists, Georges Lepape was a French artist whose portraiture represents a true milestone in the relationship of fashion and visual arts. Unlike many of his contemporary colleagues, Lepape’s artworks were heavily impacted by the aspects of Orientalism, Persian miniatures, and the popular theatre aesthetics of the Ballet Russes. Born in Paris in 1887, Lepape studied at the famous École des Beaux-Arts. In 1910 he exhibited at the Salon d’Automne, where he met the great designer Paul Poiret. They became friends and began working together. In 1911, he illustrated Poiret’s brochure, Les Choses de Paul Poiret. Shortly after, Lepape left to work for designer Jean Patou, where he illustrated Patou’s collections. During this period he illustrated many magazine covers for the likes of the Gazette Du Bon Ton, Femina, Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, and Vanity Fair. In 1923 he produced theatre costumes designs for Maurice Maeterlinck’s The Blue Bird. However, after the war, he focused on less fashion-orientated projects, and illustrated for advertising and publishing. |
