rench Vogue has been setting trends for a century, from the post-war 'New Look' of Christian Dior through the sexual liberation of the 1960s to the dangling-cigarette waifs of the 2000s.
But as a new exhibition in Paris marks the magazine's 100th birthday, times are troubled at the fabled magazine.
Just last month, it was confirmed that its editor of 10 years, Emmanuelle Alt, was out and wouldn't be replaced.
She was not alone.
Looking to cut costs, owner Conde Nast International has axed editors across Europe over the past year, and put international Vogue editions under the direct control of global editorial director, Anna Wintour, in New York.

But the latest twist is also part of the endless push and pull between New York and Paris going back to its early days.
