Vogue Italia takes exhibition centre stage

Iconic images from five decades of Vogue Italia , from its 1966 launch until today, are going on show at the Royal Academy from Tuesday as part of an exhibition devoted to 50 years of Italian style. The magazine is renowned for having broken out of a commercial straitjacket by turning fashion journalism into an art form. The exhibition's images are blown up "tearsheets" from the magazine, tracing the changing face of fashion across the years. (Via The Independent)
