British Vogue is 90 this year. Check out their first cover ever, from 1916:

That’s one of 90 covers the magazine has selected as favorites in their online gallery mapping the history if the publication, including old-timey quotes of dated fashion advice like this, from May of 1918:

An adequate trousseau may, and should be, as seductive as you please. No easy matter this as her wedding is the great event in a girls’ life, and no less so if she is marrying in haste without an opportunity to shop at leisure.
Other highlights are moments from the 60s:
