I regard Avedon among the best B/W people-photographers of our age and this book contains a lot of his stunning images, presented in a deliciously large format. It's a fascinating time capsule because black-and-white photography has mostly ceded to color in fashion, and also because the decades-old fashion still appears chic and classy today.

I think this would make a great gift for anyone interested in photography.

the cover is just fabulous and Jane Shrimpton has an unforgettable appeal. I love Avedon , and I think he is great as a fashion photographer and his portraits always have something special. One of my best purchase on Amazon

For anyone interested in Avedon's career this book is a must. It was printed in conjuction with his ICP (International Centre of Photography) exhibition in New York in 2009. The book is in many ways a visual biogrpahy is of Avedon's evolution as an artist. It should be in any fashion photographers personal library.

This is an amazing collection of Avedon's fashion photography...I cant wait until the exhibit opens at the Norton Museum of Art in West Palm Beach on February 9th!!

My favorite book of his is In The American West and this is my second. His earlier work really speaks to me, it's purer. Still you can't beat seeing his photos in person. His traveling exhibit recently came to my town. If you collect fashion photographer works, I'd recommend adding this one to yor collection. Nice design and cover, Jean Shrimpton an icon in her own right.

If you like fashion and beautiful photography, this book will make you cry of joy! It's amazing.

Stylish coffee table book with all the Avedon greats. Why aren't there any black models? Did he not shoot them? Odd.

Living in New York, I was lucky enough to see "Avedon Fashion 1944-2000" at the International Photoraphy Center. Avedon's work is so beautiful! The book is a must have for any fashion fan. As a makeup artist, I was completely inspired by the looks through the years. And the section at the exhibit entitled "Paris at Night" is just magical (those photos can be found in the book in the 1950's section). Highly recommend this book to any fashion fan, photographer, stylist makeup artist, etc. for inspiration or just for the beauty of it all. Fantastic!

The catalogue of the exhibition held in New york International Center of fotography in New York is a trip into the immaginific world of Richard Avedon.
Cronolgically organised, the book follows the same structure of the exhibition.
All the pictures seen this summer in the temple of fotografy are here reprduced in full page or double page.
The quality is superb and the written parts are the most interesting guide to understanding the lifetime work of the master of fashion photografy.
A must have for professionals and admirers.

This book is BEAUTIFUL. It makes me smile just to LOOK at it on my table. What with the winking eye hologram on the front!
The photos are clear and well presented. Avedon is a genious. You will NOT be disappointed.

I bought this book after seeing the exhibition of Avedon's work at the International Center for Photography in NYC. Check out the exhibit - Avedon's imagery is so inspired and unique. His inspiration still reveberates in today's photography - all the great fashion photogs of today borrow from him. A must have.
