VANITY FAIR, 1997, London Swings Again!

Nominated by Miranda Levy, editor, Mother & Baby:

For me, it has to be Vanity Fair's 'London Swings Again' cover. It's March 1997, Tony Blair is two heartbeats away from Number 10, and here are Liam and Patsy, swathed in a Union Jack bedspread, giving us buckets of contempt and attitude. This was the age of Blur v Oasis, Geri in platform boots at the Brits, Damien Hurst's formaldehyde sheep. A cover that sums up an era.

Also nominated by Ali Hall, editor, Look:

This cover summed up the mood of Britain during the mid-1990's referring to 'Britpop' bands such as Blur and Oasis, fashion designers, young British artists and magazines. The cover made me want to be a part of the fashionable London scene at this time.
