1975 Vogue Magazine Beauty Now Eric Boman Isabella Rossellini

This issue of British Vogue is dated 1 October 1975, number 13, volume 132, and runs to 190 pages. On the cover is Anna Andersen, photographed by Eric Boman. Inside are photographs by Barry Lategan, Oliviero Toscani, David Bailey and Boman, the Duke and Duchess of Kent, Isabella Rossellini photographed by Norman Parkinson, and The Dancing Dress, also by Parkinson. British Vogue was then published more than once a month, and its autumn issues were among the most substantial of the year.

In the mid-1970s British Vogue worked with a remarkable group of photographers. Norman Parkinson represented the established tradition, David Bailey the generation of the 1960s, and Eric Boman, Barry Lategan and Oliviero Toscani newer voices with their own styles. An issue that includes all of them shows the range of fashion imagery at the time.

Alongside fashion, the issue features the Duke and Duchess of Kent and Isabella Rossellini, daughter of Ingrid Bergman and Roberto Rossellini, who would become one of the most recognised faces of the following decade. Vogue's mix of royalty, celebrity and fashion reflected the interests of its readers.

Parkinson's The Dancing Dress suggests movement, a recurring theme in his work since he first took fashion out of the studio. The issue's autumn fashion, framed by several photographers, offers a range of moods from portrait to action.

1970s British Vogue issues are sought for their photography. This October 1975 issue, with a pristine interior, offers a single, rich record of the magazine's photographic range in the middle of the decade.
