The definitive collection of W’s most iconic and boundary-pushing photographic stories from the magazine’s fifty-year history.
Since its founding in 1972, W has championed the world’s most ambitious photographers and writers, creating stories that blur the lines between fashion, art, and culture. This volume offers an insider’s glimpse into five decades of style, creativity, and cultural influence.
From Steven Klein’s “One for the Ages,” in which Amber Valletta ages across a century, to Tim Walker’s hallucinatory portraits of Tilda Swinton as eccentric historical characters, the book captures photography at its most imaginative. Richard Prince’s provocative celebrity art projects, Steven Meisel’s playful faux advertising series, and exclusive shoots of pop culture icons like Dolly Parton reveal the audacity and vision that define W.
Daring covers celebrate the era of the supermodel—from Naomi and Kate to Cindy, Linda, Christy, and Gisele—while revealing portraits showcase the most original and creative personalities of fashion, film, art, interiors, and music. Early 1970s party coverage rounds out a vivid chronicle of the magazine’s formative years.
Richly illustrated and meticulously curated, this book is a must-have for anyone with a passion for fashion, photography, design, and culture.
