Mert Alas, born in Turkey, and Marcus Piggott, born in Wales, met
in 1994, at a party on a pier in Hastings, England. Piggott asked
Alas for a light, the pair got talking, and rapidly discovered they
had plenty in common, not least a love of fashion. Three years
later, the duo now known as Mert and Marcus had moved into a
derelict loft in East London, converted it into a studio, and had
their first collaborative photographic work published in Dazed
& Confused. These days, Mert and Marcus shape the global image
of such renowned brands as Giorgio Armani, Roberto Cavalli, Fendi,
Miu Miu, Gucci, Yves Saint Laurent, Givenchy, and Lancome, and
public figures including Lady Gaga, Madonna, Jennifer Lopez, Linda
Evangelista, Gisele Bundchen, Bjoerk, Angelina Jolie, and Rihanna.
Their photographs encompass a wide range of styles and influences
but are renowned particularly for their use of digitized
augmentation of images, and a fascination for strong, sexually
charged, confident female subjects: "powerful women, women with a
meaning, a
you-don't-have-to-talk-or-move-too-much-to-tell-who-you-are kind of
woman." Bringing our best-selling Collector's Edition to an
affordable, compact format, this collection explores the unique
vision of a creative partnership that has defined and redefined
standards for glamour, fashion, and luxury. Approximately 300
images from the megawatt Mert and Marcus portfolio are accompanied
by an introduction by Charlotte Cotton. First published as a
TASCHEN Collector's Edition, now available as an affordable,
compact edition
