From the Publisher:
Photographer Norman Parkinson was both a superb craftsman and a consummate artist. From his ̃rst shoot in 1935, he brought a dramatic glamour, bold inventiveness, and daring new sense of individuality to the fashion portrait. “If a girl looks like a model,” he said, “she is not for my lens.” Parkinson’s ideal was embodied by sitters like Jerry Hall, Iman, and Appollonia van Ravenstein. His long association with VOGUE, and his many assignments for HARPER’S BAZAAR, QUEEN, and other international magazines, brought him both fame and recognition. In return, he gave the fashion world ineffable style. This stunning volume—organized by decade and illustrated with fashion plates, portraits, and contact sheets—is a lavish record of a career that encompassed—and informed—̃ve decades of fashion. Robin Muir, a fashion curator, is the co–editor of People in Vogue and Unseen Vogue.
