Book Description
"No book is about one thing." Bruce Weber
Inspired by Gianni Versace, Bruce Weber wanted to make a record of how he recorded what most people call fashion. These photographs were not just about the shape of clothes, but also how one sees fashion in nature, architecture, and in the human spirit.
" The wonderful thing about taking pictures of people wearing or not wearing clothes is that maybe you won’t solve all the world’s problems but you’ll at least be giving back a seed of imagination to our garden of lost innocence. And its fashion that can create a big fantasy life for all those who enter."
Color and black and white images from over a 30 year period
Previously unpublished images, as well as from Vogue, GQ, Vanity Fair
Excerpts from Bruce Weber’s personal notebooks and bulletin board
