Cond Nast's life and career was as high profile and glamourous as his magazines. Moving to New York in the early twentieth century with just the shirt on his back he soon became the highest paid executive in the United States acquiring Vogue in 1909 and Vanity Fair in 1913. Alongside his editors Edna Woolman Chase at Vogue and Frank Crowninshield at Vanity Fair he built the first - ever international magazine empire introducing European modern art style and fashions to an American audience. Credited with creating the caf society Nast became a permanent fixture on the international fashion scene and a major figure in New York society. His superbly appointed apartment at 1040 Park Avenue decorated by the legendary Elsie de Wolfe became a gathering place for the major artistic figures of the time. Nast launched the careers of icons like Cecil Beaton Clare Boothe Luce Lee Miller Dorothy Parker and Noel Coward. He left behind a legacy that endures today in media powerhouses such as Anna Wintour Tina Brown and Graydon Carter. Written with the cooperation of his family on both sides of the Atlantic and a dedicated team at Cond Nast Publications critically acclaimed biographer Susan Ronald reveals the life of an extraordinary American success story.
