Hardcover. Condizione: New. Twenty years after 'Modern Lovers,' a body of work on androgyny and transgender created when AIDS was at its peak, Bettina Rheims now presents her 'Gender Studies.' She writes: 'Yesterday, on a beautiful Sunday afternoon, I was strolling along the Seine trying to reach the right bank. Paris was full of police cars blocking access to the bridges, while masses of people, 'normal families,' were rushing towards the center of town. They were carrying aggressive banners displaying homophobic and racist statements, and refused to acknowledge the existence of 'gender theory.' Three years earlier I had placed an ad on Facebook encouraging young men and women who felt 'different' to contact my studio. We received dozens of replies, from all over the world, like faraway calls wanting to be heard. It was my aim to show them and give them a voice-to acknowledge them. They came to the studio, exposed themselves shyly, and I photographed them just like that.' In the light of current controversial debates on gender theory, Rheims' models display remarkable courage by questioning, modifying and celebrating their identities.

Hardcover. Condizione: New. On 5 March 2014, Juergen Teller photographed the eagerly anticipated first collection by Nicolas Ghesquiere as the new artistic director of Louis Vuitton. In his inimitable style, Teller visualizes the designer's ambitious manifesto for the luxury house: 'Louis Vuitton is a land of contrasts. A time-honored and noble legacy is kept alive by a yearning for discovery and exploration. Coursing boldly and imaginatively through the decades, Louis Vuitton refreshes the world of fashion with an untiring ebb and flow of retrospective and fresh perspective. This initial collection tells a tale of expertise made possible by innovative techniques. It focuses on the highlights and remains open to interpretation. Living proof that today's 'timeless' was at one time seen as innovative. In this collection, the timeless is now.' This book is a collaboration between two of the most influential vanguards working in contemporary fashion. Teller's candid unadorned aesthetic perfectly complements the restrained luxury of Ghesquiere's fashion, marking the beginning of a new chapter in the rich history of Louis Vuitton.
