Height of FashionLisa Eisner, Román Alonso Everyone has one. Their height of fashion. At time in their lives when they felt like they could really knock your eyes out, they were so "on". Maybe it was the perfect accessory or right shade of blue or maybe it was the genius foresight to combine stripes with plaids. Their neck got longer, their back got straighter and their hair got better. They were "lookin' good and feelin' good" and nothing and no one could stand in their way because they looked so darned incredible. Editors Lisa Eisner and Roman Alonso invited a cross-section of the famous, not-so-famous and not-famous-at-all to provide a photo that captured that moment of self-defined height of fashion. Results range from the hilarious to the sublime, from the ultra chic to the un-cool, but always intimate and original. This collection of photographs accompanied by anecdotes and an introduction by New York Times Magazine Style Director Amy Spindler offers not only a look at some of the most incredible fashion moments of the last several decades, but also a peek into the psyche of those who were making fashion fabulous just by being themselves. With its focus on the charm and immediacy of snapshot, vernacular photography, Height of Fashion also includes contributions from well-known photographers sprinkled throughout, such as Dennis Hopper, Arthur Elgort, Bruce Weber, Helmut Newton, Jurgen Teller, and Torkil Gudnason. |
