From the Jazz Age to Our Age - Vanity Fair Magazine Celebrates 100th Anniversary with Decades Features, Films & A Book

October's Special Anniversary Issue of Vanity Fair packs a hefty punch for prospective reading material for at least the next month.

Vanity Fair is the one magazine that I subscribe to that I don't just image cruise for ideas and inspiration, recipes and seasonal wardrobe wish-lists. Feature articles are just too fine to skim. It would be rude!

This month's commemorative issue covers each decade over the past century since its inception. From the Jazz Age to Our Age, guest feature writers include Bono, Dave Eggers, Julian Fellowes, Laura Hillenbrand, Bill Maher, Jan Morris... the list goes on and I can't wait to dive in. 

I've also enjoyed checking out the newly released Vanity Fair Decades Series of short films. There's a little bit of work involved in pulling them up on screen, but if you've a few minutes to share, even the trailers are interesting to view.

The hardcover coffee table book, Vanity Fair 100 Years will be released next month, showcasing a century of personality and power, art and commerce, crisis and culture—both highbrow and low, utilizing wit, imagination, literary narrative and  roundbreaking imagery from the greatest photographers, artists, and illustrators of the day.

The book also takes a decade-by-decade look at the world as seen by the magazine, stopping to describe  editor Frank Crowninshield and the birth of the Jazz Age Vanity Fair, the magazine’s controversial rebirth in 1983, and the history of the glamorous Vanity Fair Oscar Party.
