Ellen von Unwerth. Fräulein. 40th Ed

Ellen von Unwerth was a supermodel before the term was even invented. She knows how to photograph beautiful women and is now one of the most original and successful fashion photographers in the world. In this volume, she pays tribute to the most exciting ladies, the female sex icons of our time. This includes Claudia Schiffer, Kate Moss, Vanessa Paradis, Britney Spears, Eva Mendes, Lindsay Lohan, Dita von Teese, Adriana Lima, Carla Bruni, Eva Green, Christina Aguilera, Monica Bellucci, and many more. Von Unwerth effortlessly shifts between color and sharp black and white, her images revel in sexual intrigue, femininity, romance, fetishism, humorous kitsch, decadence, and pure joy of life. Whether nude or in lingerie: the subjects photographed are never objectified. Some reveal personal fantasies, while others appear reserved, suggesting that we have entered a secret world. Fashion and fantasy have never been intertwined so charmingly.
