For the past five decades, as the fashion and publishing industries have been dramatically transformed, W has held firm on its essential mission: larger-than-life storytelling. That doesn't mean, of course, that the magazine hasn't evolved over time. Fifty Years Fifty Stories, a new tome published by Rizzoli, out this month, tracks key moments in the publication's history." --W MAGAZINE "W Magazine has given cutting edge, fashion-forward photography, design, and cultural history a home in its pages and on its iconic covers since 1972. Now a glitzy new book gathers 50 favorites featuring talent radiating from both sides of the lens -- from Richard Prince working out his appropriation game to Steven Meisel taking the mickey out of advertising tropes -- plus zeitgeisty captures of the 70's party scene and the supermodel canon." --LA WEEKLY
