It was on a Malibu beach in 1988 that Peter Lindbergh shot the
White Shirts series, images now known the world over. Simple yet
seminal, the photographs introduced us to Linda Evangelista,
Christy Turlington, Rachel Williams, Karen Alexander, Tatjana
Patitz, and Estelle Lefebure. This marked the beginning of an era
that redefined beauty, and Lindbergh would go on to alter the
landscape of fashion photography for the decades that followed.
This edition gathers more than 300 images from forty years of
Lindbergh's career. It traces the German photographer's cinematic
inflections and humanist approach, which produced images at once
seductive and introspective. In 1980 Rei Kawakubo asked Lindbergh
to shoot a Commes des Garcons campaign, one of his earlier forays
into commercial photography. Kawakubo gave him carte blanche. The
following years brought forth collaborations with the most
venerated names in fashion and resulted in a relationship of mutual
reverence; Lindbergh's respect for some of the greatest designers
of our time is palpable in his portraits. Among those photographed
are Azzedine Alaia, Giorgio Armani, Alber Elbaz, John Galliano,
Jean Paul Gaultier, Karl Lagerfeld, Thierry Mugler, Yves Saint
Laurent, Jil Sander, and Yohji Yamamoto. Widely considered a
pioneer in his field, Lindbergh shirked the industry standards of
beauty and instead celebrated the essence and individuality of his
subjects. He was pivotal to the rise of models such as Kate Moss,
Naomi Campbell, Linda Evangelista, Cindy Crawford, Mariacarla
Boscono, Lara Stone, Claudia Schiffer, Amber Valletta, Nadja
Auermann, and Kristen McMenamy. Lindbergh's reach also extended
across Hollywood and beyond: Cate Blanchett, Charlotte Rampling,
Richard Gere, Isabelle Huppert, Nicole Kidman, Madonna, Brad Pitt,
Catherine Deneuve, and Jeanne Moreau all appear in his works. From
the picture chosen by Anna Wintour as the cover of her first Vogue
issue to the legendary shot of Tina Turner on the Eiffel Tower, it
is never the clothes, celebrity, or glamour that takes center stage
in a Lindbergh photograph. Each picture conveys the humanity of its
subject with a serene melancholy that is uniquely and unmistakably
Lindbergh. From the outset of his career, Lindbergh was well-known
in the contemporary art world, where his photographs were exhibited
in galleries long before they appeared in magazines. This edition
features an updated introduction adapted from an interview in 2016,
allowing a glimpse behind Lindbergh's lens, where the photographer
recounts his early collaborations, the tenuous relationship between
commercial and fine art, and the power of storytelling. About the

The first-ever exhibition curated by Peter Lindbergh himself,
shortly before his untimely death, Untold Stories at the Dusseldorf
Kunstpalast served as a blank canvas for the photographer's
unrestrained vision and creativity. Given total artistic freedom,
Lindbergh curated an uncompromising collection that sheds an
unexpected light on his colossal oeuvre. This artist's book, the
official companion to the landmark exhibition, offers an extensive,
firsthand look at the highly personal collection. When it came to
printing his photos, Lindbergh chose a special uncoated paper - a
thin sheet with a soft, open surface - as a deliberate aesthetic
statement. Renowned the world over, Lindbergh's images have left an
indelible mark on contemporary culture and photo history. Here, the
photographer experiments with his own oeuvre and narrates new
stories while staying true to his lexicon. In both emblematic and
never-before-seen images, he challenges his own icons and presents
intimate moments shared with personalities who had been close to
him for years, including Nicole Kidman, Uma Thurman, Robin Wright,
Jessica Chastain, Jeanne Moreau, Naomi Campbell, Charlotte Rampling
and many more. This XL volume presents more than 150
photographs-many of them unpublished or short-lived, often having
been commissioned by monthly fashion magazines such as Vogue,
Harper's Bazaar, Interview, Rolling Stone, W Magazine, or The Wall
Street Journal. An extensive conversation between Lindbergh and
Kunstpalast director Felix Kramer, as well as an homage by close
friend Wim Wenders, offer fresh insights into the making of the
collection. The result is an intimate personal statement by
Lindbergh about his work.
With such credits as shooting the first American Vogue cover under Editor-in-Chief Anna Wintour, bringing together for the first time a group of young women who would become the '90s supermodels, and numerous solo exhibitions at world-renowned institutions including the Pushkin Museum in Moscow, the Ullens Center for Contemporary Art in Beijing, and the Gagosian in London, Peter Lindbergh is a master of his craft who has made his mark in the halls of photography history. The industry quickly became enamored with his almost anti-fashion photography, capturing the Zeitgeist and the spirit of his subjects rather than pursuing today's search for perfection, which he considers inhuman. Handpicked from 37,000 unreleased photos from his groundbreaking 2017 Pirelli calendar shoot, Lindbergh offers an intimate insight into a pool of extraordinary talent: Nicole Kidman, Julianne Moore, Alicia Vikander, Charlotte Rampling, Dame Helen Mirren, Jessica Chastain, Kate Winslet, Lea Seydoux, Lupita Nyong'o, Penelope Cruz, Robin Wright, Rooney Mara, Uma Thurman, and Zhang Ziyi. His message is simple. These images speaks about a different kind of beauty, far away from society's obsession with youth and perfection; one which is concerned with individuality, the courage to be yourself, and your very own sensibility.
Peter Lindbergh and Azzedine Alaia, the photographer and the
couturier, were united by their love of black, a love that they
would cultivate alike in silver print and solid color garments.
Lindbergh ceaselessly turned to black and white to signify his
search for authenticity in the faces he brought to light. Alaia
drew on the monochrome of timeless clothes to create veritable
sculptures for the body. In this book, the unique dialogue between
the two artists is immortalized in print. Illustrating their
community of spirit, its images are a celebration of their artistic
partnership and testament to their history-making achievements in
photography and fashion. Despite their geographically opposed
origins, Lindbergh and Alaia pursued similar horizons. At the same
time as Lindbergh's reputation in Germany was growing thanks to his
work in Stern magazine, and he set up his studio in Paris in 1978,
Alaia was the couturier shrouded in discretion whose sophisticated
techniques were a treasured secret amongst the most important
clients of Haute Couture. Alaia became the architect of bodies,
revealing and unveiling them, while Lindbergh distinguished them by
shining a light on their soul and personality. Step by step, they
became the creators that dominated their respective disciplines.
Both rejected any artifice that distracted from their true subject,
and it is with great ease that they came together for a number of
powerful collaborations. Shared inspirations and aesthetic values
are visible throughout their work. A beach in Le Touquet and the
streets of old Paris reference a mutual love of black and white
cinema and vast panoramas. The backdrop of an engine room
illustrates the memory of an industrial German landscape for one
and references the inordinate passion for functional design and
architecture held by the other. Alaia's clothes act as pedestals
for the smiles and eyes of the women who wear them: Nadja Auermann,
Mariacarla Boscono, Naomi Campbell, Anna Cleveland, Dilone, Lucy
Dixon, Vanessa Duve, Helene Fischer, Pia Frithiof, Jade Jagger,
Maria Johnson, Milla Jovovich, Lynne Koester, Ariane Koizumi,
Yasmin Le Bon, Madonna, Kristen McMenamy, Tatjana Patitz, Linda
Spierings, Tina Turner, Marie-Sophie Wilson, Lindsey Wixson. For
Lindbergh, who built his notoriety on the images of these
supermodels, the authenticity of their traits is all that matters.
The result is a potent black and white catalogue that reverberates
with truthfulness and beauty. The book accompanies the exhibition
Azzedine Alaia, Peter Lindbergh at the Fondation Azzedine Alaia, 18
rue de la verrerie, Paris, France. With contritutions by Fabrice
Hergott, director of the Musee d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris,
Paolo Roversi, photographer, and Olivier Saillard, fashion
historian and director of the Fondation Azzedine Alaia, Paris.
Peter Lindbergh, one of the world's foremost fashion photographers,
celebrates the female form in this classic book. Peter Lindbergh's
Images of Women is now available in this new unabridged compact
edition. Lindbergh, who passed away in 2019, took a comprehensive
look at his body of work from the 1980s and '90s and hand selected
these black-and-white photographs of the most beautiful and famous
women in the world. It was the era of the supermodels, a phenomenon
he himself had helped create, and he left his own unique stamp upon
it, influencing an entire generation of fashion photographers with
his distinct style. Lindbergh was always interested in the aura,
individuality, and personality of his models which resulted in
images that captured an ideal of beauty more than just perfection
and glamour. This splendid monograph represents the definitive
collection of Lindbergh's considerable oeuvre: classic fashion
photographs, arresting candids, portraits of female
celebrities--including Madonna, Isabella Rossellini, Sharon Stone,
Catherine Deneuve, Charlotte Rampling, Daryl Hannah--and of course
his signature shots of the world's supermodels.

Peter Lindbergh photographed DIOR's most exceptional muses, Marion
Cotillard and Charlize Theron among them, and signed campaigns for
Lady Dior and J'Adore with his inimitable style. Throughout his
career, the photographer was one of the house's closest
collaborators. This final book was an original cocreation that was
close to the artist's heart-and to ours. Seventy years of DIOR
history projected against the effervescence of Times Square, New
York: this was the concept behind Lindbergh's project,
extraordinary both in scope and dimension, for which DIOR, in an
unusual move, allowed an unprecedented number of priceless garments
to be taken from its vaults in Paris and shipped across the
Atlantic. The result is electric. Amid the frenzy of Times Square,
Alek Wek glows in the immaculate 1947 Bar suit, the storied
ensemble that launched the House of DIOR. In snatches of street
scenes, models Saskia de Brauw, Karen Elson, and Amber Valletta
flit through crowds and scaffolding, are reflected in building
facades, and draped in haute couture, from pieces hand-sewn by
Christian Dior to more recent designs by Maria Grazia Chiuri.
Lindbergh's trademark monochrome and color photographs masterfully
highlight the intricacies, silhouettes, and textures of each
garment. Lindbergh himself is present in every aspect of this
two-volume publication designed by his long-time collaborator and
friend Juan Gatti. Volume one features 165 never-before-published
images from the shoot, including an introduction by Martin
Harrison. Volume two pays homage to Lindbergh's profound
relationship with the Parisian House by curating more than 100 of
his photographs of DIOR creations, from haute couture to
ready-to-wear, men's and women's, originally published in some of
the world's most prestigious magazines such as Vogue and Harper's
Bazaar. A breathtaking tribute to two pillars of fashion and
photography and their timeless collaborations.
