This limited edition cloth-bound folio, complete with its own slip case, celebrates the work of photographer Horst P.Horst, the creator of some of the most iconic mid-century fashion images.
Born in Germany in 1906, Horst's fashion education was undertaken in Paris, where he initially worked with Le Corbusier. While in the world's couture capital he began his association with Vogue, collaborating with both English and French editions, befriending Cecil Beaton and becoming the lover of Baron George Hoyningen-Huene, the archetypal fashionista, a refugee from Communist Russia and mainstay of Harper's Bazaar.
Horst's images have resonated through the media ever since, their crisp black and white, strong line and geometric perfection inspiring generations of artists as well as plenty of slavish imitations. This folio, designed by John Morgan Studio, reproduces his famous platinum on linen prints to celebrate his centenary year.
