TRANSFORMATIONS OF A RADIANT WOMAN
She is the first black model to grace the cover of French Vogue and Time magazine. What else do we know about Naomi Campbell? She was a roommate with Christy Turlington. At the beginning of the story… Memories, challenges, nudes, false lashes, diamonds, slinging telephones, eventful separations, fits of rage, meetings with political leaders, backstage, photo shoots-artworks. Now, she has decided to issue a luxury album-sculpture of her life through photos that she has personally picked out. The Taschen’s Collector’s Edition is also including artwork by pop art luminary Allen Jones.
Two volumes, two stories, numerous readings. A dazzling meeting of art and fashion. Volume 1 presents the very best of shots from her supermodel portfolio, spanning the length of her luminous career and including such unforgettable shoots as Jean-Paul Goude’s stunning composition of Naomi racing a cheetah for U.S. Harper’s Bazaar. Volume 2 features exclusive autobiographical material, in which Naomi recalls her childhood; the beginning of her modeling career; her rise to stardom; and her work with fashion’s greatests. The Collector’s Edition of 1,000 numbered copies, each signed by Naomi Campbell are almost sold out.
