Vogues success in achieving selling their magazines and the products of others is very high. They have been selling magazines successfully for over 100 years. The all black issues of the Italian vogue were a hit. The original run of the July issue sold out in the U.S and the U.K in 72 hours. Some people were even trying to sell their mags on Ebay for $45, with them being the world’s largest selling magazine for five years.  "One out of every 10 American women reads the September issue of Vogue," he said. That conservatively translates into at least 10 million readers each month. A positive is that they encourage and try to develop a less racial view on darker skinned humans.

Worldwide famous photographer Leibovitz, worked as the chief photographer for The Rolling Stones Magazines for a decade, producing some memorable art. On December 8 1980, Leibovitz took the last photo shoot with John Lennon, with a promise to make the cover. Initially the photo shoot was to be of Lennon alone, but Lennon requested for both him and Yoko Ono to be on the cover of the magazine. The photo shoot was inspired by the kissing scene from the Double Fantasy album cover, which was one of her favorite pictures. John had his clothes removed and went into a curl position up next to Yoko whom had her clothes still on. Lennon described the photo as capturing him and Yoko’s relationship exactly; asking Leibovitz to promise it’ll be on the cover. Leibovitz claiming they looked each other in the eye and shook on it. Five hours later Lennon was shot and killed by Mark David Chapman, a sudden death that shocked many.

 
Hope your all enjoying exploring the talents of Leibovitz, Newton and Meisal. Their works are some of the greatest and I'll be uploading some more of their art for you to enjoy very soon.
