Season’s Greetings! 31 Holiday Images From Vogue

Seasons Greetings 31 Holiday Images From Vogue
Photographed by Arthur Elgort, Vogue, November 1976

With the holiday season upon us, I thought it would be fun to share a few of my favorite things. Specifically, some of the best holiday-themed Vogue images tucked away in our archive: from early illustrated covers by the likes of Helen Dryden, Georges Lepape, and Benito, to two of our most iconic cover stars photographed by another icon, Annie Leibovitz. Sprinkled in between are some great Christmas moments captured by legends such as Irving Penn, Bert Stern, Diane Arbus, Steven Meisel, and Frances McLaughlin-Gill. Consider it a Christmas gift from us at Vogue to you.
