The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because I wish it was longer. I didn't know what to expect when I ordered it but I was very pleasantly surprised. There are some truly brilliant shots in this book, including the best pictures of Kate Moss I've ever seen (I don't normally find her that attractive, but Lindbergh works his magic). If you like fashion, photography or supermodels, this is a great place to start. While there is very little writing, the pictures speak for themselves and are very creative. After looking through this, I can't wait to see Lindbergh's upcoming book.

Lindbergh is simply an outstanding photographer. All of the women are interesting subjects. Linda Evangelista is stunning in this book. The cover shot of her is wonderful. Kate Moss looks like she is straight out of the 1960's. Cindy is Cindy. The gem though is Christy Turlington whose personality and grace simply leap off of the page. The photo of her laughing is a revelation. This is a book that anyone who is interested in fashion photography should have. Peter Lindbergh hits the mark with this one by showcasing not only his strengths as a photographer but also his models range as subjects.

I own hundreds of books on fashion, the nude, glamour, beauty etc. I am myself a fashion photographer and publish a series on digital nude work I do. I found this book to be extremely bland. It was very economical, but believe me, it was too much. Peter has a lot better material out, and I think this book was just published on the merits of the subject matter and the name of the photographer. Don't waste your time with this one.

I've always preferred, for the most part, black and white photography over color. Lindbergh's collaborations with the supermodels are great. I especially like the pics of my **favorite** Linda Evangelista. He captures her androgyny and unprecedented glamour perfectly.

I consider my favorite fashion period to be the early to mid nineties. Today's fashion spreads are often too much about the latest photo technique, and not about creating a pretty picture. The models these days aren't nearly as alluring anymore. I'm glad I have books like this one as well as countless tear sheets to remind me of fashion as it was.

People who like this book might also like 10 Years of Dolce & Gabbana, which is mostly in black and white, and features some of the same models (notably, Linda). They might also consider the various Versace books for more pics of the supermodels.

The layout of this 1996 printed hardover book is nice and the fact that all images, except one of Kate Moss are monochrome makes it worth purchasing.

However there is some disappointment in seeing the thumbnail images on the inner endpages and not finding several of the striking plates on the actual pages.

The pictures themselves, at least most of them are a tribute to the transformability of the ten models and the technique of the photographer.

I wonder what the pictures would have looked like with "ordinary" people in the exact same poses?

A really nice collection of photographs of 10 of the worlds most popular models. The book worked well in balck and white, and perhaps added to the feel of each photo. The small amount of text accompanying each of the models, giving a brief description of them, was a great touch and I found it intertesting. The photos are taken very much in a "fashion magazine" style, and work particularly well in that sense. The only thing I really thought was missing from the book as a whole was "something original". I'm not sure exactly what I might have been hoping for, but it left me wanting more. It however, is a book of fantastic photos of some of the best models of this era, taken by a very talented photographer who is obviously very in touch with the fashion industry. It would be a good book to sit back with in the afternoon with a cup of tea or coffee.

A great book for learning a few things about shooting women with passion. Some images are off base, but most cut right to the heart. The images are also very diverse, as they cross cultural boundaries with the selection of models represented in the book. I think it is a good one, an eye opener, and for the money a great one!

This is an excellent book. The photographs are marvelous and the accompanying text provides a nice glimpse of each of the models as seen by the photographer.
