Whether the incredible pieces of haute couture were designed by Chanel, Dior, Gaultier, Lacroix, Elie Saab, Philip Treacy, or Valentino, their beauty is preserved in the gorgeous images captured with a large-fromat camera using Polaroid material by Cathleen Naundorf and collected in this book. Her well-hned technique, insprired by her mentor Horst P. Horst, which combines instant film's distinctive colors and shadow with the artist's remarkable instinct, results in photographs that resemble paintings-haunting, muted, and raw. Not only are they a feast for fashion-hungry eyes, but they are also a testament to the talents of this young artist who has forged a formidable reputation in the fashion world.
