But Vogue truly hit its stride under the leadership of editor-in-chief Jessica Daves and art director Alexander Liberman, when it began to publish the work of photographers Irving Penn and Richard Avedon. Penn and Avedon broke decisively with the stuffy conventions of previous fashion photography: Penn by a stripped-down minimalism that left his subjects in bare studios against stark empty backgrounds; Avedon by breaking out of the confines of dispassionate, static studio tableaux and shooting dynamic pictures of models at the height of emotion and in the middle of action. The influence of both approaches to fashion photography can still be seen in the pages of every fashion magazine today.

 

In the 1960s, with famed editor-in-chief and personality Diana Vreeland in charge, the magazine rose to the occasion of this candy-colored, youth-oriented decade of sexual revolution by focusing more on the exciting fashions of the times, through daringly playful, theatrical, and straightforwardly sexual editorial features. Vogue also continued making household names out of pretty faces, a practice that continued with Suzy Parker, Twiggy, Penelope Tree, and others.
