Sarajane Hoare is a magazine editor who decided to put together some really amazing fashion photographs for this book. She opens with a short discussion of what it takes to be in the industry and describes photoshoots as being calm amid the chaos of finding money, locations, and time for beauty. Then, the book explodes in a variety of gorgeous photographs from various photographers including big names like Patrick Demarchelier. It is artistically done with quotes inserted randomly.

There are many famous models included in this book, a real asset for fans of supermodels. Kate Moss, Carolyn Murphy, Kylie Bas, Stephanie Seymour, Cindy Crawford, Carmen Kass, Maggie Rizer, Isabella Rossellini, Veruschka, Lauren Hutton, Linda Evangelista, Christy Turlington, Naomi Campbell, Helena Christensen, Karen Elson, Shalow Harlow, Amber Valetta, Shana Phipps, Carre Otis, Milla Jovovich, and Gisele Bundchen grace the pages, several of them multiple times. This is a great coffee table book.

If you love fashion, love beautiful photography, love glamour, even just any one of these three would be justification enough in my eyes to own this book. I love all three so I certainly own this book!!
Cheers

from the cover of talking fashion you could almost tell this is a 1990s fashion photography book because you see kate moss making a funny face. just a short note that i used the word 90's here, the pictures in this book are all previously published in the various fashion magazines, such as harper's bazaar and uk vogue. if you follow fashion or fashion photography, you would naturally notice that most of the models you saw in this book are no longer actively being commissioned in today's editorial fashion spreads, except kate moss, carolyn murphy, carmen kass and gisele. also there is only one plate of gisele in the whole book. you will also find some pictures of celebrities here also such as madonna and johnny depp. apparently, for some reasons, sarajane hoare has decided using the works of the 90's instead of the more current ones. that means if you are looking for the pictures of natalia vodianova, you will not find it here. regardless, the pictures of kate and her peers of supermodels of the 1990s (such as bridget hall, helena christensen and more) are all over in this wonderful coffee table book, which is edited by sarajane hoare (the former fashion editor of british vogue and the former editor-at-large of harper's bazaar) and fabien baron (awarding-winning internationally acclaimed graphic designer, who has worked with the best in the fashion and entertainment industry). like most coffee table books, it is packed with superb prints on highest quality paper, as a design student, i know these. the amusing one liners from sarajane make it even more fun to enjoy these beautiful art fashion photographs by the best photographers of the industry (herb ritts, patrick demarchelier, terry richardson, peter lindbergh and more). if you are fans of the 90's fashion models and fashion photography, talking fashion is a must for your collection.
