A Vanity Fair To Remember

When I was flipping through this month's Domino, an ad pointing to the Condé Nast Store caught my eye. I was particularly keen on checking out the iconic cover Vanity Fair covers, so I finally ventured to see what they had.

Needless to say I totally am obsessed with certain cover illustrations. They evoke thoughts of a bygone era and ooze class and style from their pigmented pores.

Aren't they fun? I would love to order a bunch of the covers and make a gallery wall of them, like this image I saw a few months ago at Ruthie Sommer's store on 1st dibs:
