Introduction - Life Journey till Vogue

1/3

Carmel Snow neè Winter was born in Dublin, Ireland. At a very young age she lost her father. This led to her big move to America. At that time her mother being the main breadwinner of the family, bought a dress making buisness that catered to wealthy women. this lead to frequent travel to Paris for fashion shows to understand trends so they can come back and copy it and sell it to the clients in American as part of the buisness.

B A Z A A R // V I N T A G E . Before Liz ushered in her "New Era of Elegance" in 1992, the magazine already had a rich history of elegance. The 40s, 50s and very early 60s Bazaar was defined by three of fashions most cherished and beloved, Carmel Snow ( Iconic EIC from 1934-1958 ), Diana Vreeland ( 1936-1962 first as a columnist then Fashion Editor ) and photographic genius, Richard Avedon ( 1945-1962 ), together they created some of the most breathtaking and iconic fashion images of all time. From socialites to movie stars, Avedon always captured the mood of the time perfectly, creating images that will forever remain both timeless and elegant. Capturing everyone from his Muses Suzy Parker, Dovima ( she of the infamous "Dovima with Elephants" images ), Audrey and Jean, to Elizabeth Taylor, Sophia Loren, Gloria Vanderbilt and many, many more, the images were always elegant, strong and chic ( often the subjects wore Couture. Givenghy, Dior, Balenciaga and Chanel, all by the original designers themselves ). The creative reign with the covers during these years was also astounding, incredibly artistic and unlike anything we see today. These three visionaries were so ahead of their time and have influenced many of today's great photographers, editors and stylists immensely! Here are some of my favourite images from this special time in the magazines incredible history. #harpers150years #harpersbazaar #richardavedon #dianavreeland #carmelsnow#audreyhepburn#elizabethtaylor#suzyparker#jeanshrimpton #dovima#chanel#balenciaga#dior#givenchy#vintage#fashionhistory#blogger #the_bearded_blogger_ #modelmondays#the_bearded_blogger_modelmondays

"For more than 150 years, Bazaar has championed and showcased rising designers such as Bonnie Cashin, Oscar de la Renta, Bill Blass, Geoffrey Beene, Halston, Ralph Lauren, Calvin Klein, Donna Karan, Marc Jacobs, Alexander Wang and more,” said Jeannette Chang, svp and international publishing director of Hearst Magazines International. “It’s important to celebrate and honor up-and-coming talent who are the future of our industry.” From my book, the story of how Cashin broke into fashion via Bazaar; In 1938, Cashin was “discovered” by legendary fashion editor Carmel Snow, who attended a Roxyette performance in which Cashin dress the dancers in “real” clothes, coming out of the page of a stage-sized Harper’s Bazaar. On Snow’s recommendation, Cashin was appointed chief ready-to-wear designer for Adler & Adler, a prestigious manufacturer of women’s coats and suits. She soon graced the magazine's pages (shown), and was featured until the end of her career, nearly five decades later. #bonniecashin #harpersbazaar #carmelsnow #fashionhistory #upandcomingdesigners #fashionicon #fashionindustryatitsbest #truetalent #americanfashionlineage #chiciswhereyoufindit #rizzolibooks
