Publisher's Description
This project has been cancelled by the publisher.
Gian Paolo Barbieri: Beauty Case is a luxurious two-volume survey of postwar fashion as seen, staged and documented by Gian Paolo Barbieri, the Italian photo-virtuoso whose Taschen books Equator, Madagascar, Tahiti Tattoos, Exotic Nudes and Tahiti Tattoos (among others) became best-seller classics of contemporary photography and made him a worldwide publishing star. The two volumes contained in Beauty Case, History of Fashion I and History of Fashion II, gather together work done for a wide variety of fashion magazines between 1965 and 2005. They are presented inside an elegant limited-edition soft leather box (with two pockets for the books, a leather handle and a brass clasp), which doubles as a unisex beauty case. Reflecting and complementing the concise sumptuousness of Barbieri's own photography, it is a certain collector's item and an essential summation of a rich and celebratory body of work.
