By the late 19 th Century, the Industrial Revolution and the rise of the corporation had bestowed previously unimaginable levels of wealth upon a tiny but high-profile fraction of American society. Families like the Vanderbilts and Astors had the time and the means to build opulent homes, throw glamorous parties, and purchase the finest clothing.
As such, their social activities became subjects of great interest for their peers as well as the less-wealthy but aspirational middle classes. The magazine has remained popular and relevant ever since, regularly featuring the work of world-famous models, photographers and writers.

Features April Lisa Fonssagrives Penn She was an extraordinary woman—wife, mother, partner, and inspiration. In , Emma Stone became the most recent cover star to snag a gold statuette for her performance in La La Land. She is impetuous, too. Edna Woolman Chase, who started out addressing envelopes, held her tenure the longest: 37 years. At one time, Chase oversaw the British, French, and German editions of the publication, in addition to American Vogue.
Some of the talents, who found a home at Vogue , went on to become household names. Joan Didion started out as a copy editor at Vogue before working her way up to associate features editor. I have no choice. What am I going to do about it? Stop aging? But Parker is nowhere near ready to disappear.
A few days after our meeting at Steiner Studios, I see her again, this time on the set of her Vogue shoot, on an achingly perfect New York fall day. Beyond the patio of the photo studio, on the far West Side of Manhattan, the Hudson stretches clear and blue, One World Trade a glinting obelisk to the south.
After a few moments, she decides that the dress needs an extra something, and she retires, along with the stylist Tabitha Simmons, to the wardrobe, to try on a number of whimsical hats, before settling on an enormous floppy number from Libertine, on which Simmons pins a few precious jeweled brooches from Kentshire and Fred Leighton.
The combination is kooky, but it works. It is, too, very Carrie. I am reminded of something the young designer Christopher John Rogers told me over the phone, when he recalled Parker wearing a design of his to the Forces of Fashion conference in It was slightly off, but she made it her own.
Fendi handbag. An hour later, Parker and crew caravan a few blocks east, to the corner of 23rd and Eighth, to take a few pictures on the street. Wearing another floppy Libertine hat, paired with a sparkly coat from the brand, a sheer, beaded Prada dress, and a mismatched pair of holographic SJP pumps, Parker walks from her car to a nearby crosswalk, whose length she strides again and again for the camera. Very quickly, a crowd of pedestrians—mostly women, mostly in their 20s and 30s—begins to gather, and iPhones are whipped out to document the scene.
There is something particularly moving, particularly nature-is-healing, New York—is—back—baby, about seeing Parker in her element, strutting down an NYC street like Elvis in Memphis, her hair flowing, swinging a lime-green sequined Fendi bag, as if no time has passed since the memorable SATC episode of 20 years ago, in which Carrie gets mugged for both her Manolos and her purple Baguette.
