書籍簡介/Book Deion

自1892年第一期《VOGUE》在美國誕生以來，VOGUE這一品牌就被奉為世界的Fashion Bible（時尚聖典）。她以極具視覺衝擊力的高品質視覺圖片來呈現時尚潮流，充分傳遞世界時尚視角與中國悠久文化相結合的價值理念，在世界培養越來越多具有高尚品位的時尚擁護者，受到廣大讀者、設計師乃至整個時尚界的推崇。

128年後的今天，《Vogue》跨越了22個國家，擁有超過1200萬的國際印刷版讀者，每月有超過6700萬的在線用户。一個世紀以來，它一直是無可爭議的市場領導者，是世界上知名的品牌之一，也是一個價值數百萬美元的賺錢機器。它不僅僅是一本時尚雜誌，它是一個機構。但是，是什麼--更重要的是誰--使《Vogue》取得了如此持久的成功？

這一本《Glossy》將回答這個問題，並通過追蹤這本雜誌以前不為人知的歷史，從紐約八卦小報，到我們現在所知的時尚、企業巨頭。這將是一本關於《Vogue》的傳記，從各種意義上講，它將帶領讀者經歷三個世紀，兩次世界大戰，急劇的失敗和耀眼的成功，因為它描繪了雜誌的故事和那些經營它的人。

'Fashion never seemed more relevant than in this engrossing and unputdownable history of the Queen of them all...the story of Vogue's war years in France is extraordinary . . . wonderful.' Miranda Seymour

Glossy is a story of more than a magazine. It is a story of passion and power, dizzying fortune and out-of-this-world fashion, of ingenuity and opportunism, frivolity and malice. This is the definitive story of Vogue.

Vogue magazine started, like so many great things do, in the spare room of someone's house. But unlike other such makeshift projects that flare up then fizzle away, Vogue burnt itself onto our cultural consciousness.

Today, 128 years later, Vogue spans 22 countries, has an international print readership upwards of 12 million and nets over 67 million monthly online users. Uncontested market leader for a century, it is one of the most recognisable brands in the world and a multi-million dollar money-making machine. It is not just a fashion magazine, it is the establishment. But what - and more importantly who - made Vogue such an enduring success?

Glossy will answer this question and more by tracing the previously untold history of the magazine, from its inception as a New York gossip rag, to the sleek, corporate behemoth we know now. This will be a biography of Vogue in every sense of the word, taking the reader through three centuries, two world wars, plunging failures and blinding successes, as it charts the story of the magazine and those who ran it.

媒體評價/Comment

Fashion never seemed more relevant than in this engrossing and unputdownable history of the Queen of them all...the story of Vogue's war years in France is extraordinary . . . wonderful ― Miranda Seymour

Nina-Sophia Miralles' Glossy takes readers on an in-depth voyage through the history and workings of Vogue, from the brand's establishment to the people who made it such a success. Branded "the definitive story of Vogue", the insightful retrospective details the 129-year-old publication's triumphs and tribulations, from its humble New York beginnings to its international influence today. ― Country and Town House

Glossy: The Inside Story of Vogue, a new book by Nina-Sophia Miralles, is at least as much about the women, and occasional man, who have been the faces of the most potent fashion magazine brand as the actual publication. Rightly so ― The Times

Full of stories.... Miralles has an eye for the telling detail. ― Irish Times

VOGUE THE LAST WORD IN PUBLISHING GLOSSINESS

If ever a magazine understood the special relationship between women and shiny paper, it is Vogue. Launched as "a dignified authentic journal of society, fashion and the ceremonial side of life," its pages have drawn the curious to its privileged glow since 1892. Whether they come to gawp at the hilarious prices or are genuinely seeking clues as to handbag silhouettes for autumn/winter, Vogue is fashion. So after 130 years a history is overdue, and Glossy tells a jaunty story of elite relationships, acute business acumen and some alluringly strange individuals. The great magazine entrepreneur Condé Nast saw its potential when he bought the title in 1909 and aimed it squarely at a market no one had spotted: extremely rich women. The creation of a luxuriant home for advertisers by using the finest editorial ingredients became the Condé Nast brand, and Vogue was its flagship. Nast, with his forensic socialising, is deserving of a book on his own, but the real stars are the outré terrors who have plotted their way into the editor's chair. GLOSSY by NINA-SOPHIA MIRALLES ,a vivacious and gossipy history of Vogue sees it less as a magazine, more as a school of philosophy, based on hauteur, social exclusivity, impeccable taste, and editors whose ideas at times verged on the lunatic.
