Showcases developments in the world of fashion, with emphasis on British, European, and American brand names like Dolce & Gabbana, Calvin Klein, and Jean-Paul Gaultier. The Issue generated considerable media excitement because of the involvement of Stella McCartney, Paul McCartney's daughter, and apparently, a talented fashion designer in her own right. The Issue is completed by Bruce Weber's double treat, "Pictures From My Bulletin Board 1968-2002" and "#3379 John F. Kennedy Boulevard", which show some of the most beautiful male models of the First Decade of the 21st century, notably the Carlson Twins, in all of their full-frontal naked glory. The first Portfolio is twenty-two pages long and shows "bleed" photographs of the twins as well as other men whose sex appeal radiates in portraits that have never been published before. The second Portfolio is an eighteen-page Photographic Essay featuring Weber's new discoveries. The twins first appeared nude in the "XXX" Issue of Abercrombie & Fitch's Quarterly. But there, their privates were ruthlessly censored/blurred. Here, they show everything, and much more: The Narcissus-like, incestuous suggestiveness that twins elicit in Bruce Weber (the Shultz twins, the Brewer twins before the Carlsons). "Full-frontal" nudity is a trend in fashion magazine and advertising that now goes way beyond A & F although the latter was pioneering in many respects. It remains banned in the United States. At the end of the Second Decade, it is "to-be-expected" in British and European magazines, with Bruce Weber remaining a central figure along with the late great Karl Lagerfeld. While clearly a brilliant male nude photographer, Weber's real achievement is that he has transformed the fashion pictorial into "lifestyle" photography that is identifiably his. Like fashion, lifestyle is a fantasy for most of its viewers, the opposite of the gritty "street" photography of Robert Frank. When the true history of photography as medium, as genre, and as art is finally written - it has NOT been written; all photography histories are technical or journalist-centric; strictly speaking, the photobook is about brilliantly conceived and produced books, not photography - it will find the achievements of "street" and "lifestyle" photography to be the medium's lasting legacy. Sumptuously produced, superior as such to most photography books, this is an absolute "must-have" collectible, not just memorabilia, item for Bruce Weber collectors. This Issue is a contemporary photography classic. This is one of very few copies still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. A rare copy thus. Bruce Weber's "O Rio De Janeiro", the sexiest photography book ever published, was selected as one of the "Seminal Photography Books of the 20th Century" in the "Book of 101 Books". One of the finest photographers of our time. A fine collectible copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER BRUCE WEBER TITLES IN OUR CATALOG). no.
