Hundert Jahre Royal Family, festgehalten in einzigartigen Aufnahmen großer VOGUE-Fotografen Die Popularität der Familie Windsor ist ungebrochen: Queen Elizabeth gelang das Meisterstück, in ihrer langen Regentschaft die britische Monarchie durch wechselvolle Zeiten in das neue Millennium zu steuern. Die britische VOGUE öffnet nun ihre Archive und feiert die Royal Family aus außergewöhnlicher Perspektive: Ein Jahrhundert voller Krönungen, Jubiläen, Amtseinführungen, Hochzeiten und Geburten im Hause Windsor wurde festgehalten von großen Fotografen wie Cecil Beaton, Horst P. Horst, Lord Snowdon, David Bailey und Mario Testino. Bildstrecken glanzvoller öffentlicher Auftritte wechseln mit Homestorys und exklusiven privaten Einblicken. Ob das glamouröse Leben von Edward, dem Duke of Windsor, die heiteren Familienmomente von Queen Elizabeth II., die stilprägenden Outfits von Lady Di, das Glück von William und Kate oder der neue Schwung, den Harry und Meghan in den Buckingham Palace brachten: VOGUE war dabei. Begleitet von einem kenntnisreichen Text, werden hundert Jahre voll königlichem Glanz und persönlichen Momenten in einer einzigarten fotografischen Zusammenstellung greifbar. Ausstattung: edler Halbleinenband mit Folienprägung

Cecil Beaton (1904-1980) was a man of dazzling charm and style, and his talents were many. In his twenties, he recorded London and New York society in needle-sharp words and drawings, and then, at Conde Nasts insistence, in photographs. This book introduces articles, drawings and photographs by Beaton dating from the 1920s to the 1970s.

Four monarchs (crowned and uncrowned); one abdication; one royal investiture; a jewel box of jubilees and many, many royal marriages.... British Vogue has borne witness to a century of royal history. Its first star photographer, Cecil Beaton, was entranced by the House of Windsor and the admiration was mutual. A younger star photographer, Antony Armstrong Jones, left Vogue to marry the Queen's sister and returned as Lord Snowdon. The Queen's cousin, Vogue's Lord Lichfield proved an insightful photographer of royal style along with many of Vogue's fashion photographers including Horst, Norman Parkinson and David Bailey. With visual treasures from Vogue's unrivalled archive and contributions through the decades from the most perceptive of royal commentators - from Evelyn Waugh to Zadie Smith -The Crown in Vogue is the definitive, authoritative portrait of royalty in the modern age
