こちらも100周年

Vanity Fairが創刊されたのが100年前だそうで、今月号が100周年記念号になっています。例えが古いかもしれませんが、最盛期の藤原紀香のような活躍をみせているKate Uptonが表紙になっています。

100 Years of Vanity Fair
Condé Nast’s Vanity Fair was founded in 1913 with the goal of recording “truthfully and entertainingly the progress of American life.” Since then, the title has featured the highest-quality journalism, photography, and commentary on all aspects of culture.

ただ、100周年といってもTimeのようにずっと発売されていたわけではなく、大恐慌のあおりを受けて30年代に廃刊になってから、80年代に復刊されたので微妙な100周年ですよね。

Modern revival

Regular columnists have included Sebastian Junger, Michael Wolff, Maureen Orth and Christopher Hitchens. Famous contributing photographers for the magazine include Bruce Weber, Annie Leibovitz, Mario Testino and Herb Ritts, all who have provided the magazine with a string of lavish covers and full-page portraits of current celebrities. Amongst the most famous of these was the August 1991 Leibovitz cover featuring a naked, pregnant Demi Moore, an image entitled More Demi Moore that to this day holds a spot in pop culture.
