Rihanna invites you into her world with this stunning visual autobiography
“It’s a piece of art that I am really proud of…” —Rihanna
From her Barbados childhood to her worldwide tours, from iconic fashion moments to private time with friends and family, the book showcases intimate photographs of her life as an artist, performer, designer, and entrepreneur. Many of these images have never before been published.
This large-format book is 504 pages with 1,050 color images on 3 paper stocks and 7 single- and double-page gatefolds, 9 bound-in booklets, 1 tip-in sheet, and a double-sided, removable poster.
This bumper photographic portrait of Rome brings together hundreds of photographs from the 1840s through to today to explore the extraordinary history, beauty, and art of this incomparable cultural capital.
From sepia and black and white to color, these outstanding images dating from the 1840s to the present day allow us — through the eyes of such photographers as Giacomo Caneva, Pompeo Molins, Giuseppe Primoli, Alfred Eisenstaedt, Carlo Bavagnoli, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Pasquale De Antonis, Peter Lindbergh, Slim Aarons, and William Klein — to discover Rome in its many compelling guises: as the center of the Roman Empire, as one of the cradles of the Renaissance, as a favorite destination for travelers and a rich patchwork of varied neighborhoods, as the seat of the Roman Catholic Church, a stage for politics, and as the perfect backdrop for film and fashion shoots.
Reaching back into illustrious archives, some of the book’s early images offer us a privileged Grand Tour glimpse of some of Rome’s most treasured landmarks, revealing the Colosseum, Roman Forum, and Spanish Steps almost void of crowds. Later pictures survey the city’s contrasts—from the luxurious homes and leisure activities of the privileged to street stalls and laundry lines in the working class districts of Trastevere and Testaccio. Some documentary-style shots show us the dark power of Mussolini, the city bedecked with his own iconography and imagery of strength, athleticism, and the fatherland.
As color photography comes in, the city transitions from a neo-realismo aesthetic to postwar recovery and hedonism: all the glamorous gowns, exotic celebrities, and Via Veneto café culture immortalized by Fellini. Many famous faces are here, including Louis Armstrong, Elizabeth Taylor, Audrey Hepburn, Marcello Mastroianni, Sophia Loren, Pier Paolo Pasolini, Anna Magnani, and Valentino.
“Rome is the city of echoes, the city of illusions, and the city of yearning.”

"The way men are seen in photography, in fashion, and the way that men look at pictures of themselves has changed in recent years. It is a subject that has come into focus: The masculine image, a man's personal style, changing attitudes to the male face and body."
- Mario Testino
From Rio to London, Cusco to Seville, Mario Testino is renowned for his free-spirited chronicles of dress and demeanor. In SIR, his largest book to-date, the influential photographer presents over 300 photographs in his search to define the allure of men.
Featuring an essay by Pierre Borhan, an interview with Patrick Kinmonth, and many previously unpublished works from Testino's archive of thousands, this book traces the evolution of male identity over the past three decades. Costume, tradition, gender play, portraiture, photojournalism, and fashion collide as Testino observes masculinity in all its modern manifestations: through the dandy and the gentleman, the macho and the fey, the world-famous face to the unknown passerby.
Every photograph represents a unique point of view, and a new visual connection between photographer and sitter. With Josh Hartnett for VMAN (2005), Testino evokes the fall of Helmut Berger in the abyss of Luchino Visconti's The Damned. Studies of Brad Pitt, George Clooney, Jude Law and Colin Firth are as candid as they are curious. David Beckham, David Bowie, Mick Jagger and Keith Richards feature for the courage they have taken in redefining male identity. Through a kaleidoscope of guises, these portraits define a period in which men's changing role, style and appearance has never escaped Testino's eye and impeccable intuition.
Den ultimate og mest omfattende samlingen av Slim Aarons’ fotografier som noen gang er utgitt – med mer enn 100 tidligere upubliserte bilder. Med forord av Maria Cooper Janis gir denne luksuriøse utgaven et dypt og helhetlig innblikk i Aarons’ banebrytende karriere som strakte seg over fem tiår.
Boken starter med Aarons’ tid som feltfotograf i hæren, før han tok sine første steg i Hollywood, åpnet LIFE-byrået i Roma, jobbet med mote- og reiseoppdrag for Holiday, og senere reiste verden rundt for Town & Country.
Med en ny og endelig biografisk essay, dypdykk i karrierens nøkkeløyeblikk og eksklusive innsikter fra tidligere kolleger, gir Slim Aarons: The Essential Collection et unikt blikk inn i fotografens private verden.
Teksten av Shawn Waldron – arkivar for Aarons’ bildearkiv – går i dybden på hans liv og avslører ny informasjon. Samtidig setter prisbelønt journalist og forfatter Lesley Blume Aarons’ arbeid i en historisk kontekst, mens hans tidligere assistent Laura Hawk deler personlige minner. Vanity Fair-bidragsyter Nick Foulkes utforsker Aarons’ tidløse innflytelse på vår samtidige kultur.
Since 1940 Slim Aarons has been hard at work, first as a war photographer, then with unprecedented access as a photographer to the rich and famous. In this gorgeous sequel to Slim Aarons―Once Upon a Time, he develops the environmental portrait to the level of art, always showing his subjects in their natural setting, in a circumstance synonymous with their station in life. He documented a particular world that is vanished. A Place in the Sun is that special glimpse of privilege under a bright and beaming sky, whether on sandy shore, snowy slope, or elegant home where cares are few. Through 250 stunning color pictures, Aarons provides a veritable who’s who of high society: Aristotle Onassis with his first wife, Tina, and their children, Christina and Alexander; C.Z. Guest at her villa in Palm Beach; the Aga Khan at his Sardinian resort; and Truman Capote in Palm Springs. From Mustique to Monaco, from Aspen to Gstaad, only Slim Aarons can take us on a journey to the most exclusive playgrounds of the rich, inspiring even the most jaded armchair traveler. Also available from Slim Aarons: Slim Aarons: Women, Slim Aarons: Once Upon a Time, Poolside with Slim Aarons, and Slim Aarons: La Dolce Vita.
This lavish fourth volume in Abrams’ Slim Aarons collection revels in this photographer’s decades-long love affair with Italy. From breathtaking aerials of the Sicilian countryside to intimate portraits of celebrities and high society taken in magnificent villas, Slim Aarons: La Dolce Vita captures the essence of “the good life.” Slim Aarons first visited Italy as a combat photographer during World War II and later moved to Rome to shoot for Life magazine, yet even after relocating to New York, he would return to Italy almost every year for the rest of his life. The images collected here document the aristocracy, cultural elite, and beautiful people, such as Marcello Mastroianni, Ursula Andress, Joan Fontaine, and Tyrone Power, who lived la dolce vita in Italy’s most fabulous places during the last 50 years.
From the end of World War II through the 1980s, Aarons photographed the rich and famous, the beautiful and the celebrated: Hollywood royalty, European aristocracy, the grande dames of high society, captains of industry, media moguls, statesmen and stars of every sort. Though upholding the glamorous image of wealth, power, talent and beauty, he saw himself as a journalist whose duty it was to inform, and this led him to develop the environmental portrait - photographs of his subjects at home, at work, at play and mingling with each other. This type of portrait has influenced a generation of photojournalists whose work can be seen in today's lifestyle magazines. This volume shows Aarons photographs of the international elite in their exclusive playgrounds during the jet-set decades of the 1950s, 60s and 70s.
Slim Aarons: Poolside følger i fotsporene til sine forgjengere, Once Upon a Time og A Place in the Sun, og presenterer bilder av jetsettere og velstående, av vakre og glitrende mennesker som lever et glamorøst liv. Denne nye samlingen av fantastiske fotografier har imidlertid en ny vri: hovedpersonen er bassenger og alt som hører til – solbrente kropper, glinsende hud, kvinner i bikini, yachter, sommerdrinker, overdådige buffeer, spektakulære steder og, fremfor alt, moro.
Boken handler ikke først og fremst om hvem som er hvem i samfunn, aristokrati eller blant kjendiser – selv om C. Z. Guest, Lily Pulitzer, Cheryl Tiegs, Peter Beard og mange andre som har vært med i tidligere bøker, er til stede – men om fritid og hvordan de rike nyter den. Poolside with Slim Aarons gir et intimt innblikk i private liv som Aarons fikk uforbeholden tilgang til på 1950-, 60-, 70- og 80-tallet. Fra Karibia til Italia, fra Mexico til Monaco, tar boken leseren med til eksklusive miljøer der smak, stil, luksus og storhet råder.
Slim Aarons: Style samler ikoniske fotografier av glamourøse moteøyeblikk, personligheter og steder, fanget av den legendariske fotografen Slim Aarons. Selv hevdet Aarons at han ikke fotograferte mote: «Jeg fotograferte ikke mote. Jeg fotograferte mennesker i klærne deres, som ble mote.» Likevel er arbeidet hans uløselig knyttet til moteverdenen.
Boken viser Aarons’ innflytelsesrike bilder av overklassen og sosietetslivet, der individer opptrer uanstrengt og stilsikkert – et evig inspirerende uttrykk for moderne stilikoner. Her finner du både tidlig svart-hvitt motefotografi og portretter av fashionable elite, som Jacqueline de Ribes, C.Z. Guest, Nan Kempner og Marisa Berenson, samt designere som Oscar de la Renta, Emilio Pucci, Mary McFadden og Lilly Pulitzer. Mange av bildene er aldri tidligere publisert, og teksten inkluderer detaljerte bildetekster skrevet av motehistorikere.
Slim Aarons: Women utforsker kjernen i Slim Aarons’ karriere – de ekstraordinære kvinnene fra overklassen, kunstverdenen, mote og Hollywood. Boken presenterer kvinnene som hadde størst innflytelse på Aarons’ liv og arbeid, samt andre bemerkelsesverdige personligheter han fotograferte, inkludert Audrey Hepburn, Jackie Kennedy, Diana Vreeland og Marilyn Monroe, alle fanget i uforglemmelige bilder.
Samlingen inneholder over 200 bilder, hvorav de fleste ikke har vært publisert tidligere, og inkluderer detaljerte bildetekster skrevet av en av Aarons’ nærmeste kolleger. Boken viser vakre kvinner på sitt mest glamorøse, i noen av verdens mest spektakulære omgivelser. Slim Aarons: Women gir et nytt blikk på den anerkjente fotografen gjennom musene som inspirerte hans mest ikoniske fotografier.

Terry O’Neill is one of the greatest living photographers today, with work displayed and exhibited at first-class museums and fine-art galleries worldwide. His iconic images of Frank Sinatra, The Beatles, Brigitte Bardot, Faye Dunaway, and David Bowie – to name but a few – are instantly recognisable across the globe. Now, for the first time, O’Neill selects a range of images from his extensive archive of “vintage prints”, which will surprise and delight collectors and photography lovers alike.
Long before the age of digital, photographers would send physical prints to the papers and magazines. These prints were passed around, handled by many, stamped on the back, and often times captioned. After use, the prints were either filed away, thrown out or – for the lucky few – sent back to the photographer or their photo agencies.
At the dawn of the 1960s, when O’Neill’s career began, physical prints were the norm. Terry kept as many as he could that were sent back to him. “I just kept everything,” he says. “I don’t know why. Back then, there wasn’t really a reason to keep them. Photos were used straight away and then I just moved on to the next assignment. No one was thinking these would be worth anything down the line, let alone fifty years later.”
This book collects hundreds of these rare images, a true must for Terry’s fans and photography collectors.

On December 15, 1868, Carl Friedrich Philipp von Martius (1794–1868), Professor of Botany at the University of Munich and director of the Royal Botanic Garden, was carried to his grave in a coffin covered with fresh palm leaves. These were a reference to his groundbreaking Historianaturalis palmarum: opus tripartitum (Natural History of Palms: a work in three volumes), published between 1823 and 1853. At the time, this encyclopedic treasury contained the sum of human knowledge on the topic, and included 240 exquisite chromolithographic illustrations, including landscape views of palm habitats and botanical dissections.
In his epic work, von Martius outlined the modern classification of palm, produced the first maps of palm biogeography, described all the palms of Brazil, and collated the sum of all known genera of the palm family. Apart from his own collection of specimens and notes, von Martius also wrote about the findings of others. Von Martius’s folio is unusual in its inclusion of cross-sectioned diagrams, conveying the architecture of these mighty trees, which central Europeans would have found hard to imagine accurately. Equally remarkable are the color landscapes showing various palms—often standing alone—which have a simple and elegant beauty. This famous work is an unrivaled landmark in botanic illustration and taxonomy.

Inspired by the early style of Corbusier and ideas on Mediterranean architecture espoused by the likes of Bernard Rudofsky and Josep Lluís Sert, a younger generation of architects found the perfect conditions to explore the future of the Mediterranean house in Cadaqués—a small fishing village on the Spanish Costa Brava that was also home, or the summer meeting ground, for some of the past century’s greatest artistic figures, including Dalí, Picasso, Miró, and Duchamp.
In this new book, photos from the period show the distinctive style and environment of Cadaqués and 22 homes designed by Federico Correa, Alfonso Milà, José Antonio Coderch, Francesc Joan Barba Corsini, Peter Harnden, Lanfranco Bombelli, Oscar Tusquets, and Lluís Clotet. Written and edited by Nacho Alegre, it features an introduction by Oscar Tusquets and afterword by Marc Arnal also tells of the friendships and influences that existed between this group of architects, and how their architecture came to be.

The Vulgarity of Being Three-Dimensional is an immersive book of works by Danish photographic artist Tine Bek. In this her first monograph Bek tries to escape strict hierarchical structures through a series of aesthetic experiments. The book presents images of shapes that run over, flow, crumble and bulge out. An excess of uncontrolled forms that in the sculptural tradition have been dismissed as vulgar or possibly baroque.
The book is a mix of still life, other found forms and created sculptural forms photographed. Fruit, material, fabric and figures are brought together and changed by subtle shades of colour. Bek’s photography tend to seem uneasy, as if something might go wrong. Her images impose a sense of discomfort, little cracks beneath the surface. It is through these minutiae ruptures in the surfaces she exposes that a material hierarchy forms – is marble better than foam? Does a stone fountain overshadow a bathroom tap? – she asks you to scratch through the surface and to see what’s behind.
Tine Bek (born in 1988) is a Danish visual artist who primarily works with photography, video and sculpture. She studied History before graduated from Fatamorgana – The Danish School of art Photography and Glasgow School of Art, where she holds a Master degree in Fine Art Photography. Bek has exhibited in Denmark, UK, Norway, Lithuania, Germany and USA among others and is represented by Dust and Soul in Madrid and Picture Room in New York. The book has been awarded with the Hasselblad Foundation’s Photo Book Grant 2021.

Identity, diversity, inclusivity: the essential values of Maison Valentino and creative director Pierpaolo Piccioli. This book is founded on, as the choral work of three artists: Pierpaolo Piccioli, Liz Johnson Artur and Bernardine Evaristo.Three different visions in a unique moment: the Valentino Collezione Milano fashion show, which took place in Milan at the Fonderia Macchi on September 27, 2020. A time of great changes, a time when COVID dictated its rules, but that did not persuade art. We are storming towards your future and you cannot stop us, writes Bernardine Evaristo. Pierpaolo Piccioli chose Turner Prize-winning photographer Liz Johnson Artur to interpret Valentino Collezione Milano and the show through her lens. He wanted Liz’s eyes to convey his values: no fuss, no frills, just women and men wearing his collection walking toward the light. A passionate intention that brings fashion at the center of the narration. Liz’s photography is enlightened by the words conceived by Evaristo. You no longer see the dress, you see decisive characters wanting to take a radical step forward, to their new beginnings.
