It’s not just hemlines that make headlines at Vogue. For 125 years now, the magazine has been registering both sartorial and societal shifts, changes charted across glossy pages and covers. And for many years, the iconic Vogue cover featured colorful “storytelling” pictures by leading illustrators that romanced “the woman of leisure” as she followed the sun, hit the slopes, and lived for the night. Once fashion photography was deemed an art circa the mid-1930s, Vogue changed track and greeted its reader with stylized snaps of real-life beauties and professional models, and eventually began showcasing actors ( Cate Blanchett, Angelina Jolie, Lupita Nyong'o) and entertainers (Cher, Beyoncé, Rihanna ). In a 125-year tenure, ever wondered who the most photographed Vogue cover model is; how many issues have been published; or who has appeared on the masthead and the cover? Ever lost sleep trying to remember if royalty fronted the magazine, or what few celebrity couples have been featured?
