Learn more about Jessica Daves, the enigmatic figure who first catapulted fashion magazine Vogue into modernity.
When Daves became editor-in-chief of Vogue magazine in 1952, she began a decade-long effort to elevate the world’s most influential fashion magazine to new standards. With a firm belief that “taste is something that can be taught and learned” and an even firmer conviction in the magazine’s “high regard for the best,” Daves led a charge for excellence in the pages of Vogue.
Drawing from the Vogue archives, as well as rarely seen personal correspondence and archival materials relating to Daves, fashion historian and writer Rebecca C. Tuite tells the complete story of Daves’s Vogue, examining the magazine’s coverage of fashion, interior design, travel, and more during that decade, while also offering the first in-depth study of Jessica Daves herself.
A small pop-up exhibit of period clothing from the CHS collection will be on view.
