30 Years of Cosmo

[tigerrouge]

More info from the issue I bought last night - its the March 2007 issue, celebrating their 35th anniversary. I got the Farrah purse (pic attached) but the main issue also has a fold out 1 pg cover with some images of previous UK Cosmo covers (1 pic attached, and then 1 pg close-up). I don't know if the purse will come with issues sold outside the UK...

Wow, the older Cosmo issues were so much better!

I'm curious about the old magazines called 'Cosmopolitan'...more than 30 years ago (are they related to the newer version?). The very vintage ones are from Gatochy's photostream on Flickr.com and the rest are from vintagemagazines.com

I also found these unique Italian covers (last few) on vintagemagazines.com

They are the same magazine. I believe in the 1960s when Helen Gurley Brown became editor she updated the entire look and format. Scavullo as photographer and Sean Byrnes as stylist created the look of the covers in the 1970s and 1980s.
