It was on a Malibubeach in 1988 that Peter Lindbergh shot the White Shirts series, images nowknown the world over. Simple yet seminal, the photographs introduced us toLinda Evangelista, Christy Turlington, Rachel Williams, Karen Alexander,Tatjana Patitz, and Estelle Lefébure. This marked the beginning of an era thatredefined beauty, and Lindbergh would go on to alter the landscape of fashionphotography for the decades that followed.

This book gathersmore than 300 images from forty years of Lindbergh’s career. It traces theGerman photographer’s cinematic inflections and humanist approach, whichproduced images at once seductive and introspective.

In 1980 ReiKawakubo asked Lindbergh to shoot a Commes des Garçons campaign, one of hisearlier forays into commercial photography. Kawakubo gave him carte blanche.The following years brought forth collaborations with the most venerated namesin fashion and resulted in a relationship of mutual reverence; Lindbergh’srespect for some of the greatest designers of our time is palpable in hisportraits. Among those photographed are Azzedine Alaïa, Giorgio Armani, AlberElbaz, John Galliano, Jean Paul Gaultier, Karl Lagerfeld, Thierry Mugler, YvesSaint Laurent, Jil Sander, and Yohji Yamamoto.

Widely considered apioneer in his field, Lindbergh shirked the industry standards of beauty and insteadcelebrated the essence and individuality of his subjects. He was pivotal to therise of models such as Kate Moss, Naomi Campbell, Linda Evangelista, CindyCrawford, Mariacarla Boscono, Lara Stone, Claudia Schiffer, Amber Valletta,Nadja Auermann, and Kristen McMenamy.

Lindbergh’s reachalso extended across Hollywood and beyond: Cate Blanchett, Charlotte Rampling,Richard Gere, Isabelle Huppert, Nicole Kidman, Madonna, Brad Pitt, CatherineDeneuve, and Jeanne Moreau all appear in his works. From the picture chosen byAnna Wintour as the cover of her first Vogue issue to the legendary shot ofTina Turner on the Eiffel Tower, it is never the clothes, celebrity, or glamourthat takes center stage in a Lindbergh photograph. Each picture conveys thehumanity of its subject with a serene melancholy that is uniquely andunmistakably Lindbergh.

From the outset ofhis career, Lindbergh was well-known in the contemporary art world, where hisphotographs were exhibited in galleries long before they appeared in magazines.This edition features an updated introduction adapted from an interview in2016, allowing a glimpse behind Lindbergh’s lens, where the photographerrecounts his early collaborations, the tenuous relationship between commercialand fine art, and the power of storytelling.
