Profit and gloss

More than just a fashion magazine, Vogue is an institution and a major business. Author Julie Summer’s, British Vogue; The Biography of an Icon, is an official history of British Vogue, telling the magazine’s story from the first issue in 1916 right up to the present day. Beautifully illustrated with images from the Vogue archive, including exclusive interviews with insiders, such as stylist Grace Coddington, editor Alexandra Shulman and fashion editor Lucinda Chambers, this is the perfect gift for Vogue fans. £30, foyles.co.uk
