American fashion photographer,
Arthur Elgort
is an industry legend, one of the world's top
fashion photographers.
During his long and reputable career his work has
appeared in British and American Vogue
and Italian Vanity Fair he has shot campaigns for
Chanel, Valentino and Yves Saint Laurent.
In 1994 during the supermodel era
he published his book
Models Manual
"Linda showed up one day at my hotel in Paris.
She had that look that said...'I know I'm going to be
fabulous if you give me a chance.'
Linda Evangelista
Tatjana Patitz
Helena Christensen
Yasmin Le Bon
Christy Turlington...
"With her great beauty, endless ability, energy and
her chameleon quality it's hard to take a
bad picture of her...Christy Turlington is the
model of our time."
Cindy Crawford...
"Cindy has the quintessential cover-girl face.
She really is the best for a non-fashion picture
she has the kind of shape that only gets better
the more you take away the clothes."
Claudia Schiffer...
"She's more like a movie star than a model.
Strangers will approach Claudia on the street
for autographs - once on location I couldn't believe the
crowds at our table while we were eating.
She just smiles and sighs."
I loved the supermodel era and have collected so many
books over the years and this one is definitely
a favourite of mine...

SO delighted that I stumbled across your beautiful and inspiring blog, and looking forward to taking a look at your cashmere collection in a minute!
I ADORE the era of the supermodels too! I actually worked with Naomi, Claudia and Christy way back in the day when I worked at (the then called) Elite Premier in London - they were mad and heady days of Supermodel madness - SO far removed from my country life now! Great post, brings back some fabulous memories!

Beautiful images, exceptional beauties. Devoted mothers and wives, successful businesswomen and gorgeous beyond the words.
The word 'aging' is simply not in their vocabulary, but 'iconic and sensational' are.
Great photographer.
