Lima, Carla Bruni, Eva Green, Christina Aguilera, Monica Bellucci
and dozens more. Switching effortlessly between color and
immaculate black and white, von Unwerth's photography revels in
sexual intrigue, femininity, romance, fetishism, kitsch humor,
decadence and sheer joie de vivre. Whether nude or in lingerie and
a dazzling smile, her subjects are never objectified. Some flaunt
personal fantasies; others are guarded, suggesting that we have
stumbled into a secret world. Fashion and fantasy were never so
enchantingly combined. About the series TASCHEN is 40! Since we

From the moment Star Wars burst onto the screen in 1977, audiences
have been in equal parts fascinated and appalled by the
half-man/half-machine hybrid Darth Vader. In 1999, creator George
Lucas began the story of how Anakin Skywalker grew up to train as a
Jedi under Obi-Wan Kenobi, found love with the Queen of Naboo,
Padme Amidala, before turning to the dark side of his nature and
becoming more machine than man. After driving the development of
nascent digital technology, George Lucas perceived how he could
create new creatures and new worlds on a grander scale than ever
before. He created the first digital blockbuster, and met fierce
resistance when he pushed for widespread digital cameras, sets,
characters, and projection - all of which are now used throughout
the industry. He essentially popularized the modern way of making
movies. Made with the full cooperation of George Lucas and
Lucasfilm, this second volume covers the making of the prequel
trilogy - Episode I The Phantom Menace, Episode II Attack of the
Clones, and Episode III Revenge of the Sith - and features
exclusive interviews with Lucas and his collaborators. The book is
profusely illustrated with script pages, production documents,
concept art, storyboards, on-set photography, stills, and posters.

One part history book, one part art book, and one part fascinating
memoir, this book is an overview of more than two centuries of

tattoo artists, and the personal struggles and triumphs,
occupational hazards, and artistic courage that have defined so
much of this history. For the last forty years, Henk Schiffmacher

drawings, designs, photographs, and artifacts from around the
world. Each of the book’s chapters features many
never-before-seen highlights from this collection and includes

and tattoo designs known in the business as flash, among them
extremely rare vintage flash sheets from major players in early
Western tattooing. The vastness and variety of tattooing around the
world is chronicled in the book’s hundreds of images, including
the indigenous tattooing of the MÄori and South Pacific islanders,
the ancient traditions of Asia, and the origins of old-school
Western tattooing in Europe and the United States. The book also
features a dozen original illustrations by Schiffmacher in his
inimitable style. Schiffmacher brings a fascinating perspective to
tattoo history through his personal reflections and wild tales of
adventure. In this book, we learn not only about the history of
tattooing, but also about the adventures behind the making of one
of the largest tattoo collections in the world, by a self-taught

age of 14, Gisele Bundchen grew from humble roots into the most
successful supermodel in the world. This book celebrates her
20-year milestone in the industry with a unique and spectacular
collection of jaw-dropping glamour and intimate, personal insights.
Gisele was just 18 when she made her breakthrough in the S/S 1998
ready-to-wear "Rain" show of Alexander McQueen, who chose "The
Body" thanks to her ability to walk in towering heels on a slippery
runway. The same year, Gisele secured her first British Vogue
cover, and swiftly became the most in-demand cover girl of her
generation. The following year, she was chosen for the cover of
American Vogue, shot by Steven Meisel, and lauded as "the return of
the sexy model" with her bronzed, athletic beauty defying late-'90s
grunge. Since then, Gisele has appeared on more than 1,000 covers
around the globe, in approximately 450 fashion shows, and in
multinational campaigns for the biggest fashion and beauty brands.
With more than 300 photographs, this book is curated and art
directed by Giovanni Bianco. From Gisele's legendary nude portrait
by Irving Penn, chosen as the book's cover, to iconic shots from
such industry luminaries as Steven Meisel, Mario Testino, Peter
Lindbergh, David LaChapelle, Juergen Teller, Inez & Vinoodh,
Mert Alas & Marcus Piggott, and Corinne Day, it is a unique
artistic presentation of the most famous Brazilian export together
with Pele and Senna and the highest-earning model in the world. The
breathtaking image collection is accompanied by an introduction by
Steven Meisel and tributes from Gisele's closest friends, family,
and fashion leaders, who shed light on how and why she has become
one of the greatest models of all time. First published as a
limited edition-now available in a popular TASCHEN edition! Gisele
