"For more than seventy years, Vogue has been the arbiter of fashion design for smart women the world over. Generations of the chic, the affluent, the up-and coming have looked to Vogue for advice on what to wear, the inside line on who was wearing it already, and guidance on how to put it together for themselves. Swimwear in Vogue shows how Vogue set the pace from bloomer to bikini by following the world's most elegant bathing beauties, captured here on film by the fashion industry's leading photographers. Seven decades of stunning photographs and spicy anecdotes combine to provide a glittering account of the cosmopolitan fashion scene." -- Back cover.
