From the legendary Editor-in-Chief of Vogue, Diana Vreeland, comes this collection of work by some of the century's greatest photographers -- among them Horst, De Meyer, Avedon, Beaton, Penn, and Steichen, as well as the work of the paparazzi -- to give shape to the culture of an era, and some of the celebrated personalities who set their imprint on it. Garbo, Nureyev, Callas, Queen Mary, Duchess of Windsor, and Josephine Baker are just a few of the luminaries whose presences in this book help define Diana Vreeland's concept of allure.-- Out of print for 15 years, Allure is a much sought-after book -- and Bulfinch has the chance to offer it to the current fashion generation, in a sharper and greatly improved package.Diana Vreeland's personal selection of images by some of the century's greatest photographers, reissued in a beautiful new edition.
