A New Magazine for a New Age
Vanity Fair lay dormant for nearly half a century, but in the early 1980s the magazine seemed ready to be roused from its slumber. A vibrant cosmopolitan spirit was coursing through the culture; the go-go 80s mirrored the 20s Jazz Age, the hothouse era that had given the earlier Vanity Fair its sizzle.
The magazine, revived in 1983, soon became the most influential American monthly, an arbiter of culture, taste, power and personality at the turn of the millennium. Vanity Fair took the pulse of the modern era whilst maintaining its bedrock of inventive photography.
