4.0 out of 5 stars Teller, Jacobs & Sherman., November 19, 2008

By	Andrea S. Collins (Minneapolis, MN) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Juergen Teller, Cindy Sherman, Marc Jacobs (Hardcover)

Fashion and photography are two things that have always gone hand in hand. Juergen Teller and Marc Jacobs are another perfect example of this combined correlation destined to equal visual harmony. The two have worked together gracefully for years and with the addition of Cindy Sherman (who coincidentally has never collaborated with another photographer until now) Juergan Teller and Marc Jacobs created one of the simplest, and most effective, picture books centered around fashion. This aesthetically stimulating "picture book" is a work photographic genius bound to inspire and intrigue. The reader/viewer is both amused and confounded by the beautiful awkwardness portrayed page after page. It's like a graphic novel for fashion conscious artists, minus an epic ending.

Juergen Teller and Cindy Sherman photograph themselves playing a series of rather ironic couples. They have some odd fun with these characters, using them to model the clothing picked handpicked by Marc Jacobs for them and to portray the awkward social tension between two people. Characters and subjects range from older individuals with babies to rock stars and transgenders. The photo quality is what you'd expect to see from Mr. Teller, white backgrounds and blown out models; the look is both expected and yet, still inspirational. The book itself is as beautiful as the photographs themselves; printed on a heavy matte paper and hard covered, the book is tangibly stunning, almost as stunning as the clothing the photographers are wearing.
