The (last) Editor's Letter:

"It's surprising to realize that Vogue Paris is 100 years old. It looks so young, so new. It is the incredible strength of this title that has been able to renew itself over and over again. Vogue Paris is timeless. Which is doubly surprising, since it deals with the most fickle culture: the fashion. No doubt because Vogue Paris loves fashion absolutely, passionately, and it is a duty for this magazine to celebrate it with respect, enthusiasm, fervor and imagination. When creating designers, Vogue Paris has always responded boldly, wanting to follow them in the best possible way, which is its greatest responsibility. Vogue Paris is the dawn of fashion designers: and when you travel through the years, you can read a part of their life there. Their first time, their beginnings, their rise, their crowning...
Vogue Paris is a wonderful family album and it was a pleasure for me to dive into the ocean of all these photographs. The most beautiful, you will agree throughout this anniversary issue where I wanted to pay tribute to our fabulous archives. The archives are the heart of a magazine, its backbone, its word that remains for eternity, it is its voice, its confidences, its deep secrets that it shares with you. I was surprised myself to discover unknown treasures there, previously disturbing images of modernity, so vivid. It is moving to unearth them like this from the limbo of the past to realise that they still have something to say. Thanks to the talent of the multitude of photographers that Vogue Paris has welcomed into its pages. The world's greatest photographers are in Vogue Paris and we could have done 100 issues to celebrate 100 years. Quite simply, it's Vogue's eye, its special look at time. This is its uniqueness, its unique personality. The profession that we exercise compels us to constantly move forward, to scrutinize novelty. You will see that there is an infinite sweetness to look behind you. I am extremely proud to have accompanied this beautiful title, a wonderful friend. I wish it a long life and to keep its rebellious spirit which suits it so well."

Vogue Paris Digital Edition
- an extraordinary human being who is willing to *BUY* a printed magazine, tear it apart, scan it page by page, digitally remove all the (again, "thanks" to manual scanning!) artifacts, crop it and properly align it, and on the top of ALL that to post it here for all of us to see it, for FREE!
