This book may appeal to you if you're intrigued by the intersection of fashion and history, especially in the context of Britain's wartime efforts. It delves into how wartime challenges influenced fashion trends and captures the essence of resilience and creativity through striking visual imagery and compelling narratives.

A beautiful coffee-table book looking at Lee Miller's extraordinary contributions to the pages of Vogue before becoming a war correspondent. Many of the images have not been seen since they were taken in the 1940's.

Description

The Vogue Editor Audrey Withers wrote:

'She [Lee Miller] has borne the whole weight of our studio production through the most difficult period in Brogue's [British Vogue's] history.'

This was written in 1941 to challenge the oversight of the American Vogue 15 June 1941 edition feature on its photographers failing to recognise Lee Miller's contributions.

Over 250 fashion images by Lee appeared in Vogue from 1941 to 1944. As a shoot can range from 12 to 100 shots, the complete collection provides a wealth of material. 2021 is the time to publish this beautiful book as the negatives and vintage contacts had remained unarchived until 2020 when the process was completed. This means these images have literally not been seen since they were first shot and published in the 1940s. The interest, quality, and splendour of the images determined they deserved a high-quality publication.
