Glamorous fashions, personalities, and places captured by iconic photographer Slim Aarons
Slim Aarons, no less than in keeping with the man himself, didn’t photograph fashion: “I didn’t do fashion. I did the people of their clothes that become the fashion.” But regardless of 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 brand new 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, in addition to portraits of the fashionable elite—like Jacqueline de Ribes, C.Z. Guest, Nan Kempner, and Marisa Berenson—and those who 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 choice of the photographer’s most stylish work.
