Where would Vogue be without the gown? So much more than an item of clothing, it embodies so many of the qualities of the magazine. Vogue, launched originally in 1892 to cover the lifestyle and fashions of New York high society, is now a chronicler of contemporary fashion throughout the world. In the UK since 1916, images of the most desirable clothes available have occupied Vogue's pages, and what is more desirable than a gown? Gowns are exceptional often excessive. They have little to do with daily life and are part of a world of imagination and indulgence. The same is true of Vogue.
