This October 1965 issue explores the height of mid-sixties elegance, beginning with Marisa Berenson’s striking Penn cover and extending through pages of refined fashion features. From the Italian Collections to Norell-inspired evening looks, fur silhouettes, and international style influences, the fashion content reflects the sophistication of the era.
Profiles and cultural commentary include Marguerite Duras’ writing on Maria Callas, Frank O’Hara on Robert Motherwell, and literary pieces by Joan Didion, Pauline Kael, Tom Wicker, and Violette Leduc. Travel pieces on the Greek Islands and lifestyle features such as John Cage’s food writing enrich the magazine’s depth.
Though the issue shows age-related wear and has missing back pages, the interior remains in good condition. This is a strong collectible for admirers of Irving Penn’s portraiture, Marisa Berenson’s early modeling work, and the cultural vibrancy of mid-1960s Vogue.
