\"Hutton\"

Lauren Hutton cover June 1, 1973<\/p><\/div>\n

The Vogue Archive<\/a> includes a high quality scanned image of every page of the magazine from 12\/17\/1892 to the present. \u00a0An excellent resource for Gender and Sexuality Studies, Theater, Design, and American Cultural Studies, the Archive indexes both articles and advertisements.<\/p>\n

For more than 120 years, the creative content of Vogue magazine has been a driving force in fashion and culture. At the same time, it has been a potent marketing vehicle for a wide range of products targeted at women: housewares, clothing, jewelry, cosmetics, cigarettes, and pharmaceuticals.<\/p>\n

One of the most useful features\u00a0of The Vogue Archive<\/a> is its indexing. \u00a0Searches can be limited to advertising and results can be limited to articles with illustrations.\u00a0\u00a0Special fields (with drop down indexes) are provided for photographers, models (or other person pictured), and corporations. \u00a0For instance, a search for Audrey Hepburn — a Vogue staple from the 1950s on — returns classic photo shoots from the 1960s with Hepburn as the premiere model for Givenchy.<\/p>\n

Results can be quickly limited and sorted by year and\/or date, so it is easy to research the history of marketing, or follow a style as it changes through time. \u00a0The graphic content is rich throughout, and ideal for design of\u00a0historically accurate costumes.<\/p>\n

Searching The Vogue Archive<\/a> for information that would seem to fall outside the editorial scope of the magazine can be very fruitful. \u00a0A search for ‘voting’ returns virulently anti-suffragist editorials from the first decade of the twentieth century. \u00a0For instance, the editorial from November 9, 1909, “Judging the Suffragists by Their Works,” sounds eerily like statements that have been made about the Black Lives Matter movement in this election cycle:<\/p>\n

“…what has been the record of the suffragists? \u00a0Have they not played a rather ignoble, if not conspicuously unpatriotic, role by interrupting meetings, and by demanding of candidates, who were fighting for other and, at least for the moment, graver issues, that they commit themselves in regard to votes for women…”<\/strong><\/p>\n
