Vanity Fair 100 Years

Vanity Fair 100 Years is a lavish celebration of a century’s worth of culture, celebrity, politics, and style—captured through the magazine’s legendary lens.

From the Jazz Age to the Information Age, this stunning volume chronicles the evolution of modern society as seen through Vanity Fair’s bold imagery and unforgettable storytelling. Edited by longtime editor Graydon Carter, the book takes readers on a decade-by-decade journey, spotlighting milestone moments and the artists, writers, and icons who shaped them.

Featuring iconic covers, groundbreaking photography, and rarely seen images, Vanity Fair 100 Years showcases the magazine’s unmatched ability to blend high and low culture, art and politics, glamour and grit.
It also pays tribute to the visionary Frank Crowninshield and the magazine’s 1983 rebirth, while tracing the legacy of events like the legendary Vanity Fair Oscar Party.

A statement-making coffee table book, it’s both a work of visual storytelling and a time capsule of influence, ideal for collectors, creatives, and anyone fascinated by the ever-evolving mirror of society.

“The book is a stunning artifact that begets staring, less for the words and publishing industry than as an exercise in visual storytelling reflected through the prism of society and celebrity. The best photographers, the best designers, the best illustrators all came together over Vanity Fair’s contents, and the book unfolds in page after page of stunningly rendered images, some iconic and some that never even ran.” —New York Times Book Review
