The magazine targets stylish, culturally sophisticated women. Since its start in the late 1880’s the magazine has shown the history of the life of its readers. The 1920’s showed the liberated, privileged woman, the 1950’s brought the look of the ideal housewife, the working, I can do everything woman was shown in the 1970’s and today it offers the multiracial, indefinable woman. Through the eyes of Vogue, we can see 100 years of unforgettable images. The beginnings of fashion photography created the first fashion model. Over time, the Vogue woman has changed from a rosy-cheeked well-to-do young women to a slim flapper, figures have changed from hourglass to boyish and the women’s look has changed from a glamor girl to a waif. Today’s Vogue woman can be any woman with any look. The picture has become more then the fashion but instead the woman herself.http://www.culturekiosque.com/nouveau/style/vogue.html

Vogue was founded by Arthur Baldwin Turnure in 1892. It was bought in 1909 by Conde Nast and transformed from a weekly society paper into a bi-monthly magazine. Today, Vogue has become synonymous with high fashion and high society.Book Rags: Vogue History
