I was so enthralled with searching for vogue covers, that I am completely inspired to write a new blog post on covers alone. However, as I started with a preconceived image, I was immediately led to a new point of view. The first Vogue image is the May 1928 cover; it is charming, it is delicate, it is feminine. No definition is needed, as the image evokes fashion. I want to feel as fancy as the painted lady on the cover. I went in search of modern fashion that would be acceptable to display such elegance. I landed on a Vogue cover featuring the lovely Audrey Hepburn. A stunning, classic, beauty. I am pulled to the marketable similarities between the two images.The green and purple shades used in both images points out the obvious use of complimentary color to grab a fond gaze. A possible coincidence that both ladies are donning a cap and "fashion forward" dress, I feel inspired none the less.
I continue on my mission to find modern girl attire with such class. I see this cover of Anne Hathaway and have to take a closer look. A stunning beauty that feels almost attainable. I was confronted with an all too familiar feeling. I felt immediately struck with envy for such beauty; as I sit in front of my computer in the morning with no makeup and flannel pjs. I click on the images source, to come across an article of her near starvation diet for her role in Les Mis. I am then bombarded with visual marketing, featuring the holiday colors of white, green and red. I am also struck with the bold titles of what lay inside the magazine. I must fight past it all to see again the lovely image. A rose to the right of her creates an intrigue of the covers story.
