Vogue is the most powerful and recognized publication in the fashion industry.
Arthur Baldwin Turnure an American businessman, founded Vogue as a weekly newspaper based in New York City in 1892 to create a publication that celebrated the “ceremonial side of life”.
From its inception, the magazine targeted the new New York upper class, their habits, leisure activities, the places they frequented, and the clothing they wore…The magazine at this time was primarily concerned with fashion, with coverage of sports and social affairs included for its male readership.
For Today's challenge, we are heading back to the "High Dressmaking" or the Haute Couture that was the vintage VOGUE.
For this challenge go to the link below (VOGUE HERE) and select one of the vintage magazine covers to create your design. You need to do the following: 1. Tell Us which cover you are using 2. Pick at least 2 items from that cover to put into your LO 3. Tell us about what you did on your LO to recreate the items you selected.

For my LO I chose the cover of April 1921. I used the colors from her dress to create the base and layering of the LO. I popped a red gem on it to represent the red chair. I added the butterflies because the screen in the background gave me the feeling of a butterfly wing. I chose my pictures based on the boa wrapped around my granddaughter's neck similar to the beads the model is wearing. Lastly, I used the doodled frame around the main picture because it recreated the shape of the gathers on her dress.
