Vogue Russia Celebrates Their Legacy Of Nudity

Golly, what can we possibly say about the decades upon decades of beautiful nude photography collected in this one issue of Vogue Russia? They win. That's about it; they win the magazine game. We expected to see some great pictures by Helmut Newton, Richard Avedon, and Bruce Weber, but we didn't expect to see a dozen more amazing names here and pictures that go back to 1934!

The only bummer is we can't read Russian well enough to groove upon all that's written there, but now the onus is on us to research the names of the photographers who've struck us with their work. You should do the same! Browse through these images and then give yourself a little history lesson on fashion nudity. After all, you should do something healthy for your brain before you obliterate it with Halloween parties this weekend (you boozehound, you).
