How gorgeous! What a lovely walk that must be! The Audrey one is exquisite but I also love the fourth one and the Catherine Deneuve one.

I absolutely adore the Audrey Hepburn cover. I'm familiar with a cropped version that was used in ads to advertise Givenchy's L'Interdit- "Once she was the only woman in the world allowed to wear it." But this Vogue cover is so much better. I would give a great deal to own one.
Liz Taylor looks positively evil on her cover. And Twiggy, my favorite model of all time, would have looked better in a closer-up version of that photo- and without those idiotic butterflies.
The great Hitchcock cover is absolutely perfect.
I so want one of these posters in my apartment!
Beautiful blog, I collect the fashion magazines from the 30's,40's and 50's. The artwork is devine.
the picture under liz taylor is Capuccine the french model turned actress (in the first Pink Panther Movie, Cleaseau's wife)
