Abrams & Chronicle Poolside with Slim Aarons

Like its predecessors, "Once Upon a Time" and "A Place in the Sun," "Poolside with Slim Aarons" offers images of jet-setters and the wealthy, showcasing beautiful, glittering people living the glamorous life. This new collection of stunning photographs captures the rich and well-connected 'doing attractive things' in their favorite playgrounds, with a focus on pools and everything that accompanies them—magnificent, suntanned bodies, well-oiled skin, bikini-clad women, yachts, summer cocktails, sumptuous buffets, spectacular locations, and most of all, fun.

"Poolside with Slim Aarons" is not so much a Who's Who of society, aristocracy, and celebrity—although C. Z. Guest, Lily Pulitzer, Cheryl Tiegs, Peter Beard, and many others featured in previous books are present—but rather a celebration of leisure time and how the affluent enjoy it. This collection provides a more intimate glimpse into very private lives, to which Slim Aarons was granted unprecedented access in the fifties, sixties, seventies, and eighties. From the Caribbean to Italy and Mexico to Monaco, "Poolside with Slim Aarons" transports the reader to an exclusive realm where taste, style, luxury, and grandeur prevail.
