Full Description
This beautiful book of her wartime fashion work addresses Lee Miller's contribution to the fashion industry in these years and her significant service to the survival of British Vogue magazine.
Audrey Withers, Lee Miller's editor at British Vogue, in 1941 wrote 'she [Lee Miller] has borne the whole weight of our studio production through the most difficult period in Brogue's [British Vogue's] history'.
Containing over 130 images, with the majority printed full page this book also contains accompanying text by Ami Bouhassane, Lee Miller's granddaughter and Co-Director of the Lee Miller Archives, who provides insights into Lee Miller's work process. In two additional essays, fashion historian Amber Butchart writes on the fashion of the period and Robin Muir, contributing editor to British Vogue, discusses Lee Miller's work for Vogue.
