This one-of-a-kind book of 300 photographs of some of the most
celebrated actors, artists, models, First Ladies, and social
figures draws on stories that have appeared in the pages of "Vogue
"over the past four decades, as well as photographs from those
stories that have never been published. These trendsetters and
newsmakers are captured by such famous photographers as Cecil
Beaton, Jonathan Becker, Eric Boman, Horst P. Horst, Edward
Steichen, Irving Penn, Richard Avedon, Francois Halard, Helmut
Newton, Stephen Meisel, Snowdon, Toni Frissell, Bruce Weber, Herb
Ritts, and Annie Leibovitz. Not only did these photographers take
dazzling portraits--in studios or on location--that caught these
iconic figures in classic, playful, or dramatic moments but they
also documented their parties, weddings, houses, and gardens.
Writers like Hamish Bowles, Paul Rudnick, Truman Capote, Francis
Wyndham, Jeffrey Steingarten, Joan Juliet Buck, William Norwich,
Gloria Steinem, Georgina Howell, Vicki Woods, Marina Rust, Michael
Specter, and Jonathan Van Meter tell you the stories behind these
figures and events.
Here are the glamorous weddings of Plum Sykes in Yorkshire, Lauren
Davis in Cartagena, and Minnie Cushing in Newport; Truman Capote
writing about cruising the Yugoslavian coast with Lee Radziwill,
Luciana Pignatelli, and the Agnellis; gardens from East Hampton to
Corfu designed by landscape architect Miranda Brooks; Ines de La
Fressange's apartment in Paris; Gloria Steinem reporting on the 540
masked partygoers at the Black and White Ball Truman Capote threw
for Katharine Graham at the Plaza hotel; the gardens of Valentino's
seventeenth-century Chateau de Wideville, outside Paris; the
designers, the best-dressed, and the stars at the annual Costume
Institute party at the Metropolitan Museum; Mick Jagger and his
family in Mustique; Jacqueline Kennedy and Michelle Obama; Kate
Moss, Madonna, Angelina Jolie, Cate Blanchett, Ali MacGraw,
Anjelica Huston, Nicole Kidman, Cher, Iman and David Bowie,

Richly illustrated in black-and-white and color, "The World in
Vogue: People, Parties, Places "is a stunning look at portraits,
houses, gardens, and parties of celebrated figures from many
worlds.
