Unseen Vogue

by Robin (edt) Derrick

Unseen Vogue Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

"Unseen Vogue" goes beyond the cliches and often repeated "greatest hits" of fashion photography and tells a completely new story. Drawn from the archives of British "Vogue," the book presents hundreds of images never seen before-- the killed pictures, rejects, and outtakes-- to form a fresh, new history of fashion photography. Features the first attempts of many now internationally famous photographers, great pictures by forgotten masters, outtakes from famous shoots, and many other extraordinary and sometimes controversial pictures. By showing contact sheets and unedited film "Unseen Vogue" opens up the process of making fashion images, previously the reserve of fashion's inner circle.

Synopsis:

For all the fashion pictures that make it to the pages of Vogue, there are those that don't. Not because of poor composition or execution, but because the fashion was too oblique, the styling too inventive, the camera technique too pioneering or frequently because the magazine simply ran out of space. Selected from one-and-a-half million images archived at British Vogue, Unseen Vogue presents fashion photographs you have never seen until now. There are unknown works from great photographers: Cecil Beaton, Horst, Norman Parkinson and Lee Miller — these unseen pictures tell the secret history of fashion photography. Every important fashion photographer is represented here, including David Bailey, Irving Penn, Patrick Demarchelier, Bruce Weber, Herb Ritts, Steven Meisel, Juergen Teller and Mario Testino.

Synopsis:

Drawn from the archives of "Vogue" magazine this survey of fashion photography aims to go beyond the cliches and "greatest hits" to tell a new story. It features the first attempts of many now famous photographers, pictures by forgotten masters, and out-takes from famous shoots.
