What is " Glamour"?

A STATE OF GLAMOUR WHAT is glamour? The December issue of Vogue, which hits the shelves today, is determined to find out. "Something that that is available to all with no effort involved is very, very rarely glamorous," notes editor Alexandra Shulman. "To be glamorous, a thing has to be in part inaccessible, difficult to possess - whether through rarity or expense." Dame Helen Mirren, Claudia Schiffer, Jemima Khan, Zaha Hadid and Queen Elizabeth II all make the cut in the definitive list of today's glamorous women, while modern-day glamazons Kate Moss, Naomi Campbell, Lily Cole and Sacha Pivovarova are photographed by Lachlan Bailey, Patrick Demarchelier, Ben Dunbar-Brunton and Mario Testino respectively to show how it's done. Vogue's December issue is available now, priced at �3.70. (November 5 2007, AM) Leisa Barnett
