Description: VOGUE SET OF 4 BOOKS Living Houses,Beauty Photography,The Editors Eye,Parties BEAUTY PHOTOGRAPHY N VOGUE Here is a unique collection from the world's foremost photographers of the most striking beauty photography ever to appear in the pages of Vogue. Spanning a half-century of this most influential fashion and beauty magazine, this outstanding array charts advances in modern photography and reveals our ever-changing ideal of beauty. Many of the century's most gifted photographers have taken beauty photographs-images that focus on the appearance of women rather than on what they are wearing —and thus have invested the pages of Vogue with style, humor, and elegance. From the classic elegance of Hoyningen-Huené to the quirky wit of Guy Bourdin, from the moody nostalgia of Sarah Moon to the aggressive eroticism of Helmut Newton, from the cool sophistication of Irving Penn to the breezy naturalism of Bruce Weber-this stunning collection provides a rare opportunity to appreciate the development of beauty photography and its principal subject: the many images of women. The nude, the close-up, the hair shot, the make-up shot—all reveal the remarkable perception and breadth of the Vogue photographers. In his introduction, Martin Harrison gives us intriguing insight into beauty sittings. He establishes that this is not just a branch of fashion photography but a challenging, highly idiosyncratic category all its own, offering its practitioners possibilities not available in mainstream fashion photography. An appendix to the text and photographs contains short biographies of the photog-raphers, making Beauty Photography in Vogue an important and well-balanced contribution to photographic history. THE WORLD IN VOGUE PEOPLE PARTIES PLACES THIS ONE-OF-A-KIND BOOK OF 300 PHOTOGRAPHS of some of the most celebrated actors, artists, models, First Ladies, and social figures draws on stories that have appeared in the pages of Vogue over the past four decades, as well as photographs from those stories that have never been published.

VOGUE THE EDITOR'S EYE This fascinating book reveals the untold story of fashion, celebrating the pivotal role the fashion editor has played in shaping America's sense of style. Eight of the most visionary living stylists in Vogue's history are interviewed in depth as they discuss their collaborations with photographers as diverse as Irving Penn, Helmut Newton, and Annie Leibovitz, and with model-muses from Lisa Fonssagrives to Veruschka, Linda Evangelista, and Kate Moss. Who are these hidden talents? What is their personal history, their style, and the inspiration they bring to their work? Babs Simpson talks about her travels to Cuba to find and photograph Ernest Hemingway, her portrait session with an unknown Audrey Hepburn, and a sitting with a fragile Marilyn Monroe that turned out to be the actress's last. Polly Allen Mellen describes her close collaboration with Richard Avedon and the erotic view of femininity that she brought to her indelible images. Jade Hobson worked through glorious years of change for women as they liberated themselves from the housewife stereotype to become self-assured citizens of the world. Carlyne Cerf de Dudzeele imported the spirit of St.-Tropez. to the streets of New York with a new high-low sensibility that reveled in short skirts and supermodels. Current Vogue editors Grace Coddington, Tonne Goodman, Phyllis Posnick, and Camilla Nickerson outline the passions that produce images ranging from the spellbindingly romantic to the sleekly modernist, the arrestingly strange and the provocatively new. Whether directing a model and a cast of fashion designers acting out the adventures of Alice in Wonderland, transforming such celebrities as Lady Gaga and Rihanna into Vogue cover girls, illustrating the most extreme new beauty treatments available, or refining our perspectives about how women present themselves in clothes, these editors share their experiences and the influences that have shaped their eye. The Editor's Eye provides a candid and privileged look inside the workings of fashion photography and the creative minds that have produced some of the most exciting images of our time.
