Vanity Fair: The Portraits

Every month, I can't await for my favourite magazine, Vanity Fair, to arrive in the mail. When the magazine arrives, I steal away and curl up somewhere and savour every page.

Imagine my delight at the new book Vanity Fair: The Portraits: A Century of Iconic Images by Graydon Carter, David Friend and Christopher Hitchens.

With 300 "iconic portraits" from the magazine's 95-year history, the book "captures the image of modern fame - the magical thing that happens when individual talent and beauty (and sometimes genius) is caught in the spotlight of popular curiosity and passion."

The book showcases the art of photographers including Edward Steichen, Cecil Beaton, Annie Leibovitz and Mario Testino. Portrait figures are chosen from the worlds of art, film, music, sports, business and politics.

What do you call Vanity Fair and 300 iconic portraits? The absolute classic coffee table book and so much more!!
