There were a lot of magazines called Vanity Fair. This one was published between 1950 and 1972 in Great Britain. It was aimed at a middle-class audience, and its focus was on ready-to-wear fashion and beauty. The editors of Vanity Fair were very careful not only to describe the clothes illustrated in the magazine, but list their prices and the stores in which they could be bought—along with the prices and availability of the accessories the models were wearing!
