Glamorous fashions, personalities, and places captured by iconic photographer Slim Aarons
Slim Aarons, at least according to the man himself, did not photograph
fashion: “I didn’t do fashion. I did the people in their clothes that
became the fashion.” But despite what he claimed, Aarons’s work is
indelibly tied to fashion. Aarons’s incredibly influential photographs
of high society and socialites being unambiguously themselves are still a
source of inspiration for modern day style icons.
Slim Aarons: Style showcases
the photographs that both recorded and influenced the luminaries of the
fashion world. This volume features early black-and-white fashion
photography, as well as portraits of the fashionable elite—like
Jacqueline de Ribes, C.Z. Guest, Nan Kempner, and Marisa Berenson—and
those that designed the clothes, such as Oscar de la Renta, Emilio
Pucci, Mary McFadden, and Lilly Pulitzer. Featuring some
never-before-seen images and detailed captions written by fashion
historians, Slim Aarons: Style is a collection of the photographer's most stylish work.
