The Ambassador MagazinePromoting Post-War British Textiles and Fashion
Ed. Christopher Breward;Ed. Claire Wilcox
The Ambassador has been described as 'probably the most daring and enterprising trade magazine ever conceived'. Founded to promote British textile and fashion manufacturing, the innovative design, ambitious photo-shoots and adventurous editorial approach set it apart from other magazines. Illustrated with examples of the best covers and layouts, some featuring original artwork by artists such as John Piper and Graham Sutherland, this book tells the story of the Ambassador during its 30-year run from 1942 to 1972.
