Synopsis
W magazine is renowned for its avant-garde fashion stories, those elaborate confections of magic and mystery that have inspired and captivated readers for more than two decades. This volume gathers 10 of the most remarkable stories, each in its entirety, along with never-before-seen outtakes. Each story was the centerpiece of the issue it appeared in, and together they ride the razorandrsquo;s edge between outrageously provocative and enchanting, from the bizarre (Steven Kleinandrsquo;s andldquo;One for the Agesandrdquo;) to the alien (Tim Walkerandrsquo;s andldquo;Planet Tildaandrdquo;) and whimsical (Paolo Roversiandrsquo;s andldquo;Carnevaleandrdquo;). These and other stories by Klein, Walker, and Roversi, as well as Steven Meisel, Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott, and Alex Prager, are featured. A special code inside the book provides access to short films shot on the sets of the featured stories by Meisel, Walker, Klein, and Prager.
Synopsis
Ralph Laurenand#8217;s designs vividly embody the American Dream, and he has risen to become one of the worldand#8217;s foremost fashion designers. His genius lies in his innate skill for interpreting key cultural elements of Americanaand#8212;whether from folk art or the preppy world of Hamptonsand#8217; socialites or Navajo motifsand#8212;and encapsulating them in appealing garments. Also a natural fit with Hollywood, he has designed costumes for films such as
The Great Gatsby (1974) and
Annie Hall and created countless looks for stars on the red carpet. From his ubiquitous, equestrian-tagged Polo shirts to his American-country-club take on upper-class Englishness, his skill in making aspiration accessible is second to none.
Vogue on Ralph Lauren is a volume from the series created by the editors of British Vogue, featuring 20,000 words of original biography and history and studded with more than 80 images from their unique archive of photos taken by leading photographers including Bruce Weber, Patrick Demarchelier, and Mario Testino.
