‘An important piece of fashion history.’ – Vogue
Intimate and elegant photographs taken just before Kate Moss’s rise to
fame, in a stylish new edition
This gorgeously produced book features intimate portraits of a young
and undiscovered Kate Moss, taken in the early 1990s by her
then-boyfriend, Italian photographer Mario Sorrenti. Seen by Calvin
Klein, the photographs gave life to the famous Obsession campaign,
which launched Moss to international superstardom.
Sumptuously reproduced in tritone, Kate is a stunning photographic
portfolio of one of contemporary culture’s most iconic figures. It
includes an introductory essay by Sorrenti, which puts the work in its
uniquely personal context. This book, which celebrates the dawn of two
legendary careers, and the start of the highly influential aesthetic of
1990s fashion photography, is a must-have for Kate Moss’s fans, for
fashion devotees, and for lovers of traditional portraiture and fashion
photography.

Platinum Jubilee edition 'Full of gems ... Angela Kelly is a jewel
in the crown' Daily Telegraph 'Entertaining and beautifully
illustrated' The Sunday Times 'For real intel, [The Crown] can't
come close to The Other Side of the Coin by Angela Kelly' The New
York Times 'When Angela Kelly and The Queen are together, laughter
echoes through the corridors of Buckingham Palace.' Angela worked
with The Queen and walked the corridors of the Royal Household for
twenty-eight years, initially as Her Majesty's Senior Dresser and
then latterly as Her Majesty's Personal Advisor, Curator, Wardrobe
and In-house Designer. As the first person in history to hold this
title, she shared a uniquely close working relationship with The
Queen. Her Majesty personally gave Angela her blessing to share
their extraordinary bond with the world. Whether it was preparing
for a formal occasion or brightening Her Majesty's day with a
playful joke, Angela's priority was to serve and support. Sharing
never-before-seen photographs - many from Angela's own private
collection - and charming anecdotes of their time spent together,
this revealing book provides memorable insights into what it was
like to work closely with The Queen, to curate her wardrobe and to
discover a true and lasting connection along the way. Revised and
updated to mark The Queen's Platinum Jubilee, this special edition
of The Other Side of the Coin contains chapters covering the Royal
Household's isolation during the pandemic, Angela's own devotion to
service to keep the monarch safe, and the light and laughter that
was shared behind closed doors, even in the darkest moments.
"... Any dog devotee will put it right on their coffee table the
second they open it." -Christina Vercelletto, CNN Underscored "...a
magnificent collection of photos of animals looking sweet,
innocent, thoughtful, tender and sublime." -Dave Johnson, Forbes
What makes dogs so unique? They are the only species that favour
the company of humans over their own kind. A dog looks at us with a
deep understanding and empathy perhaps greater than our own. In
this charming book of dog photography, Vincent Lagrange records
this treasured intimacy with our four-legged friends. Applying the
techniques of portrait photography, which he learned in his youth
at his father Marc Lagrange's studio, he captures our canine
counterparts in crisp, perfectly illuminated pictures that allow
their own soulful personalities to shine through. Text in English
and German.
As Others See Us is based on a new photographic exhibition from
Tricia Malley and Ross Gillespie, who together form the renowned
partnership broad daylight. It forms part of Homecoming 2009,
celebrating the 250th anniversary of Robert Burns' birth. The
exhibition consists of 20 portraits of prominent and influential
Scots, including Eddi Reader, Edwin Morgan, Peter Howson and Janice
Galloway. The portraits capture a unique insight into the sitter,
enhanced by the accompanying text, as each was asked to contribute
their favourite poem from Robert Burns, and to explain why it is
special to them and what they think it means to Scots today.

Naomi Campbell is a phenomenon. Still very much at the top of her game
after nearly four decades in the fashion industry, news of her
trailblazing work, both on and off the catwalk, continues to hit the
front pages as she pushes the boundaries of the fashion world.
Inspiring, creative, energetic and most definitely iconic, Campbell
stands apart as a unique force.
Opening with a specially commissioned interview by Tim Blanks, this
book showcases more than 20 of the most eloquent ensembles from across
her career, personally selected and discussed by Campbell herself. It
also explores the different facets of her success - from her work as a
model, a muse and brand builder, to life beyond the catwalk as a
cultural leader with her unerring support of emerging designers.
With spectacular looks from Azzedine Alaïa, Gianni Versace, Chanel,
Alexander McQueen and Kenneth Ize - to name but a few - this is an
exclusive look into the world of one of fashion's most talented and
enduring personalities.
A celebrated photographer for 40 years, Ellen Graham has worked
with magazines across America, photographing some of the world's
most talked-about people: actors, artists, performers, socialites,
and the glitterati that we are all obsessed with. Graham's images
strike a balance between the glamour of a formal Hollywood photo
shoot and the intrigue of a tabloid expose for a true intimate look
at such legendary figures as Frank Sinatra, Natalie Wood, Warren
Beatty, and Carrie Fisher. Whether shooting actors, performers, or
European royalty, she redefines the resonating myths that have come
to surround these figures. Talking Pictures brings together over
200 images culled from Graham's work for such magazines as People
and Time, her personal archives, and her collection of family
photographs, accompanied by a personal narrative that takes you
behind the scenes of each celebrated image and breathes life into
the glamour of Hollywood's golden age.

Of the roughly 20,000 homeless youths in New York, up to 40 percent
of them are LGBT (Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender). 'Sylvia's
Place' originated as the vision of Sylvia Rivera, a transgendered
woman, who was an advocate for LGBT rights during her life and
worked tirelessly for it even while stricken with cancer. This work
covers this topic.
