Description
Book SynopsisNoted photographer Anne Menke has traveled the world on assignment in search of ideal fashion shoot environments for clients, including Conde Nast Traveler, Elle, Esquire, GQ, Travel & Leisure, Vogue, and W. In her travels, she has often discovered that the environments themselves house the roots and origins of the fashions seen on the runway. with texts by contemporary visionaries, along with the author''s own introduction and extraordinary images, this sensitive, insightful work explores the intersection of fashion and culture in the ethnic populations of Asia, Latin America, Europe, Africa, and North America. It is a celebration of people, places, and our perception of art, fashion, culture, and photography in the modern world.
Trade ReviewI must say I have a particular crush for this book, which intertwines two art practices present in our daily lives: fashion and photography. In our rapid changing world, we must preserve those cultural characteristics that build the strength and diversity of the world community. This book testimonies the power of travels that nourishes human's inspiration. -- Carlotta Battistini My Blabla Art Blog, November 10, 2015
