“Since 1939, this magazine has been on the lookout for icons – women who slip under the ropes of convention, laugh off doubters, have a big idea, compete like crazy and kick but when necessary”
- Glamour Magazine
In lieu of this quotation, and in celebration of its 70th anniversary, Glamour Magazine is paying homage to the strong, successful and delightfully feminine icons of the past seventy years.
Hell. Yes.
The array of female figures, from actresses, to musicians, sport stars and innovators, it’s a brilliant tribute to both the magazine and the women it has guided for the past seventy years. Aside from the brilliant message of female empowerment, the spread which features today’s empowered females dressed as those from yesteryear is a stunning piece of magazine photography with impact that resonates long after you’re finished flipping through the pages.

The spread features the likes of Alexis Bledel as Rosie the Riveter, Emma Roberts as Audrey Hepburn, Emma Stone as Carrie Bradshaw and Alicia Keys as First Lady Michelle Obama.
It’s rare these days to find some soul-stirring substance in our chick mags. With most headlines restricted to orgasms and fashion, it’s delightful, to say the least, to have a feature dedicated to the strong, fashionable and intelligent women of our generation and beyond.

The piece makes me feel hopeful about the future and all sorts of other warm fuzzy feelings – definitely worth picking up a copy!
