A summer issue built around the body in the sun, with Azzedine Alaïa among its features. It captures British Vogue in the year it passed from Beatrix Miller to Anna Wintour.
This is the July 1985 issue of British Vogue, number 7 of volume 142, with 159 pages. Its cover, 'The Body in the Sun', was photographed by Patrick Demarchelier.
Summer, seen through the body.
Among the features is Azzedine Alaïa, the Tunisian-born designer working in Paris, whose body-conscious clothes were closely associated with the 1980s.
Beatrix Miller edited British Vogue from 1964 until 1985. Anna Wintour took over that year and stayed until 1987, before moving to New York.
The issue combines colour and black-and-white photography with features on fashion and the modern body. The spine is sound and the interior pristine.
Colour and monochrome, side by side.
