Review
If your idea of a fashion shoot comes from the shenanigans of America's Next Top Model, then this book will reeducate you. A marvelously conceived and beautifully printed survey of contemporary fashion photography, it looks into the compulsive creativity of the underappreciated fashion stylist. In these pages you will find a glorious lunacy that reality TV cannot hope to re-create. After years of celebrating the art of designers and photographers, it is high time that fashionistas turn their gaze upon the work of the stylist, and here the editors of style.com, the online home of Vogue magazine, pay tribute to 16 of the best in the business, including Polly Mellen, Grace Coddington, and Carlyne Cerf de Dudzeele. As Vogue editor in chief Anna Wintour writes, the nature of a fashion stylist's talent is ultimately unknowable: "What are these gifts?" she asks. "What makes one picture of a dress humdrum and another legendary?" Brilliant fashion editors transform garments into stories that drive consumers to unconscionable acts of expenditure. Those stories are brought to life by photographers, represented in this volume by the likes of Steven Meisel, Mario Testino, and Bruce Weber. -- PopPhoto.com December 2007 - David Schonauer
Stylists, as a lavish new book called "Stylist: The Interpreters of Fashion" (Rizzoli) makes clear, are the handsomely paid but largely unheralded behind-the-curtain personnel. Stylists do not merely push but sometimes also find the buttons, cast the models, choose the colors, hire the hair-and-makeup divas, build the outfits, layer upon layer, or strip them down. More crucially, perhaps, they serve as spirit-familiars to designers when they tune into the cultural ether, awaiting an inspiring rap on the table, or at any rate news of a book or movie or band that will render service as the next season's muse. -- The New York Times September 9, 2007
Product Description
From the editors of Style.com, the hub of runway buzz, comes this savvy look at the individuals who propel the fashion world forward and declare what’s hot and what’s not. Called upon by designers, editors, photographers, and celebrities, stylists have a sixth sense for what is now and next in the fashion ether. Featuring sixteen of today’s top tastemakers, Stylist focuses on these fashion insiders whose precocious sense for the next big thing often results in trends of global proportions. Organized by stylist and featuring the photography of such luminaries as Cecil Beaton, Richard Avedon, Steven Meisel, and Annie Leibovitz among others, this book documents the work and contributions of each stylist through photographs of their creative output and inspirations, and illustrates their distinctive taste, individual flair, and talent for igniting global fashion fervor. Selected for their originality and, in many cases, enduring fame, each stylist included in this volume has reached the pinnacle of success in their chosen métier. Author Sarah Mower’s interviews with the most influential stylists distill for us through conversation and example the fine art of the fashion pronouncement and what it means to be at the threshold of the cutting edge.
