Another Fashion Book - Tapa dura

Another Fashion Book collects some of the most striking spreads commissioned for Another Magazine's fashion pages, culled from the magazine's decade-long reign as the bellwether of couture trends. Another is known for staying one step ahead of the curve on all counts: the Spring/Summer 2009 cover features Tilda Swinton, for instance, shot by New York-based British photographer Craig McDean in clothes by Dutch designers Viktor & Rolf. In an image that fuses both Swinton's and the designers' iconoclastic ethos, McDean captures the statuesque actress' intensity while highlighting the sculptural quality of the design duo's dresses. Gathered in this volume is work by some of the most provocative names in fashion and art photography, including Nick Knight, Mario Sorrenti, Inez & Vinoodh, Sam Taylor-Wood, Horst Diekgerdes, Stephen Shore, David Sims, Terry Richardson, Steven Klein, Willy Vanderperre and Glen Luchford. Always blurring what little remains of the boundary between fashion and art, the images often reference the history of photography, art and design while forging a wholly new international language that has come to define the look of this decade. Creative Director David James has combed through the magazine's archive to find the finest fashion photography, all of which has been specially reprinted for this book.
