  Here - Where the Black Designers...

  Designer, activist, and educator Cheryl D. Holmes-Miller is legendary for her  
  decades of scholarship and advocacy, and as a touchstone and conscience for the  
  design profession. In HERE: Where the Black Designers Are, Holmes-Miller  
  documents the history of—and answers to—the question she has been asking for  
  decades: “Where are the Black designers?”  
  Holmes-Miller explores this essential question through the lens of her own  
  development as a designer and leader, beginning with her own family and its rich  
  multiethnic history. She narrates her experiences as a design student at Rhode  
  Island School of Design (RISD), Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA), and Pratt  
  Institute, leading up to her oft-cited Pratt thesis examining barriers to success for  
  Black designers. Holmes-Miller describes the work of her eponymous studio for  
  noted clients that included NASA, Time Inc., and the nascent Black Entertainment  
  Television (BET), as well as the story of her later critiques of the industry in Print 
  magazine and other design publications. Holmes-Miller also recounts the parallel  
  history of collective efforts by fellow scholars and advocates over the past fifty  
  years to identify and celebrate Black designers. 
  HERE is part memoir, part historical investigation, and an urgent call for justice  
  and recognition for Black designers. 
  “This book is representative of the shoulders on which we, as Black graphic  
  designers, stand. These are the legacies we are fighting to uphold and the torches  
  we must continue to carry. The journey of the Black designer has not been easy. It  
  isn’t easy. And while we may be left out of history books, this is a reminder that we  
  are here. Always have been. Always will be.”—Tré Seals, Vocal Type

  Vogue magazine started, like so many great things do, in the spare room of someone's house. But unlike other such makeshift projects that flare up then fizzle away, Vogue burnt itself onto our cultural consciousness. 
   
   
   
  Today, 128 years later, Vogue spans twenty-two countries, has an international print readership upwards of twelve million, and nets over sixty-seven million monthly online users. Uncontested market leader for a century, it is one of the most recognizable brands in the world and a multi-million dollar money-making machine. It is not just a fashion magazine, it is the establishment. But what—and more importantly who—made Vogue such an enduring success? 
   
   
   
  Glossy will answer this question and more by tracing the previously untold history of the magazine, from its inception as a New York gossip rag, to the sleek, corporate behemoth we know now. This will be a biography of Vogue in every sense of the word, taking the listener through three centuries, two world wars, plunging failures, and blinding successes, as it charts the story of the magazine and those who ran it.
