Rizzoli New York has published a 352-page tome of fashion photographs, bringing together nearly 200 images taken by leading photographers of yesterday and today.
The Louis Vuitton Fashion Photography book launched this month, looks into the history of fashion featuring Louis Vuitton products, from its advertising campaigns to fashion articles in print magazines around the world.
It is divided into three main sections — fashion articles since 1977, Louis Vuitton advertising campaigns and a flashback to the Fifties — each of which has an introduction by photography writer and curator Charlotte Cotton.
The photographs presented in this volume offer a singular approach to women's history and the history of photography from the 1950s up to the present.
Included are photographs by major figures such as Mert Alas & Marcus Piggott, Henry Clarke, Patrick Demarchelier, Annie Leibovitz, Peter Lindbergh, Craig McDean, Steven Meisel, Helmut Newton, Juergen Teller, Mario Testino, and Inez van Lamsweerde & Vinoodh Matadin, all of whom have excelled at conveying the spirit of Louis Vuitton.
A limited edition, available for sale exclusively at Louis Vuitton stores and online at louisvuitton.com, features a deluxe white canvas binding, with a choice of three different cover photographs, by Patrick Demarchelier, Craig Mc Dean or Bert Stern.
