Father’s Day #TBTs from Vogue Editors Inline
1/20Kelly Connor, Vogue.com Market Editor
“Don’t let our black tie fool you, us pranksters used to lock strangers into porta potties and watch them struggle to escape. I must say that this photo of us from my debutante ball nine years ago does get me excited for Dad to walk me down the aisle.”
2/20Sara Jendusa, Vogue.com Art Producer
“I have no memory of this photo but it’s adorable.”
3/20Virginia VanZanten, Vogue.com Living Editor
“We had just moved to Paris: new school, new flat, new language. A big hug from Dad felt like home.”
4/20Olivia Goodman, Vogue.com Market Assistant
"Here I am, a six-year-old flower girl, gazing lovingly at my dad before a wedding at Estherwood mansion in Dobbs Ferry. Not much has changed. My dad and I still love each other to the ends of the earth, and much like his dedication to me, his dedication to the classic navy suit and to a pair of wire-rim glasses is unwavering."

“Sitting on my dad’s shoulders, I always had the best seat in the house.”
6/20Monica Kim, Vogue.com Research Editor
“I’m not sure who’s the bigger hipster here: My dad, in his acid-wash denim, or me, in my puffy pink onesie. I do know that his tapered jeans and nineties sweater game—and you know, his selflessness and incredible work ethic—inspire me to this day.”

“I’ve always said that my dad is my sartorial inspiration. The best part is it’s completely unintentional. My dad’s wardrobe has been consistent for as long as I can remember and while he taught me about the importance of penny loafers, teal polo shirts—his favorites are Lacoste—and a well-cut suit, it’s his prescient nature at calling trends before they’re trends that has always inspired me editorially. From socks with sandals to aviator-frame eyewear, he’s always been ahead of the runway. Hence my stealing of his shearling in the above picture. Thanks, Dad!”

"One of my favorite photos. My dad throwing me through the air in Paris in '91."

"I would be too lucky to have inherited half the amount of this guy's kindness, charm, and resilience. Not to mention, eyebrows."
10/20Meghan Hoffman, Vogue.com Editorial Producer
“This is from Christmas 2000 (fortunately, both of our outfits we have since retired), and my dad and my mom would always tape up holiday wrapping paper to block off our family room entrance and my three younger siblings and I would run and tear through the paper to reach the tree and our gifts, finishing off the morning with my dad’s delicious fresh waffles.”
11/20Zoe Taubman, Vogue.com Associate Social Media Manager
“Summer beach barbecues brought burgers, sweat, and tears. Here’s a picture of my dad, champion of patience, taking my meltdown in stride.”
12/20Austin Burns, Vogue.com Developer
“My father and I have the same birthday, which is why the caption says ‘Our special day.’ The quote I would definitely put with this is ‘Like father, like son,’ since we are so alike and we even have the same birthday.”
13/20Rebecca Bengal, Vogue.com Contributing Editor
"My dad’s laid-back patience is legendary in our family, and nowhere is it more evident than when he let two-year-old me corral him into a game of barber shop that likely went on for hours (lucky for him the only scissors and razor involved were invisible). Happy Father’s Day, Dad—love you!"
14/20Anny Choi, Vogue.com Assistant Market Editor
"Me, my sister, and my dad."
15/20Chelsea Zalopany, Vogue.com Market Editor
"Aw. This is me and my father posing for a photo at an Easter brunch. I remember loving that year's particular Easter dress exceptionally much because of its floral print, which reminded me of Hawaiian leis. And now looking back, that little memory is all the sweeter because my father is Hawaii through-and-through. Happy Father's Day, Daddy! Mahalo for being the best! "
16/20Sophia Li, Vogue.com Photo Producer
“My dad has always inspired us to be little explorers—here we are in SF with matching bomber jackets. To this day, the exploring continues: We’re celebrating Father’s Day in Tibet this year, and I can’t wait to be reunited for another Li father-daughter adventure!”
17/20Andee Olson, Vogue.com Production Manager
“Twenty years later, we still look exactly the same.”
18/20Zoe Ruffner, Vogue.com Photo Researcher
"I don’t know anything about this photo, but I love my dad’s Hawaiian shirt and Wayfarers!"
19/20Bardia Zeinali, Vogue.com Photo Researcher
"Growing up, I went through this bizarre phase where I was obsessed with Elvis and dressed as him every year for Halloween. Thanks, Dad, for supporting me during this journey to self-discovery!"
20/20Alessandra Codinha, Vogue.com Fashion News Editor
“The man who taught me about style (and who’s always been around to give me a lift).”
