‘Nina Sophia Miralles’s entertaining history covers a
century of high drama at the offices of the world’s top fashion magazine . . . Nina
Sophia Miralles’s admirably researched book takes us through the growing
expansion of the Condé Nast empire . . . What fascinates are the dramas — above
all the quirks and eccentricities of the various editors — that thread through
the history.’ –
Anne de Courcy, The Spectator
‘Nina-Sophia
Miralles’ Glossy takes readers on an in-depth voyage through the history and
workings of Vogue, from the brand’s establishment to the people who made it
such a success. Branded “the definitive story of Vogue”, the insightful retrospective
details the 129-year-old publication’s triumphs and tribulations, from its
humble New York beginnings to its international influence today.’ – Daniella
Saunders, Country and Town House
‘Fashion
never seemed more relevant than in this engrossing and unputdownable history of
the Queen of them all...the story of Vogue's war years in France is
extraordinary...wonderful’ – Miranda Seymour
‘The
book is a treat if you like quirky history facts and want to know how some
very famous fashion editors managed to achieve those coveted, impossible to
get, positions . . . I
read GLOSSY cover to cover, in 48 hours last weekend . . . I found out Vogue’s
history spans the 20th century, crosses and absorbs other histories: art,
cinema, Paris, London, photography, journalism, the world, fashion of course...
Every chapter is populated with fascinating characters and colourful
anecdotes beautifully described by the author. A fascinating read I definitely recommend.’

‘The history of Vogue
magazine from 1892 to the present day fascinatingly documented by Nina-Sophia
Miralles.’ – The
Arts Desk review, four
stars
‘Glossy
will answer this question and more by tracing the previously untold history of
the magazine, from its inception as a New York gossip rag, to the sleek,
corporate behemoth we know now. This will be a biography of Vogue in every
sense of the word, taking the reader through three centuries, two world wars,
plunging failures and blinding successes, as it charts the story of the
magazine and those who ran it.We say: Obviously we want to read every single
behind-the-scenes Vogue secret, even if it's just people arguing about where
the stapler has gone.’ – Grazia, The 2020 Books We Cannot Wait To Read
‘The
untold story of Vogue, told through the lens of its editors, in GLOSSY
journalist Nina-Sophia Miralles asks what – and most importantly who – made the
fashion magazine such an enduring success? It’s a story of passion and power,
dizzying fortune and out-of-this-world fashion, of ingenuity and opportunism,
frivolity and malice. Today, 125 years later, Vogue spans 22 countries, has an
international print readership upwards of 12 million and nets over 67 million
monthly online users. It is not just a fashion magazine, it is the
establishment.’ – Forbes, Holiday Gift Guide 2020: The Best British
Stocking Stuffers
‘Miralles,
the founder of Londnr magazine, turns her hand to social history with this
