A very good copy. Very light edgewear on lower edge. Lower right corner lightly scuffed.
Celebrated as one of the world's first and most successful fashion photographers as well as a former supermodel, Ellen von Unwerth photographed a large number of contemporary female icons for Fräulein: Claudia Schiffer, Kate Moss, Vanessa Paradis, Britney Spears, Eva Mendes, Adriana Lima, Dita von Teese, Eva Green, Christina Aguilera, Monica Bellucci, and more.
In her distinctive style, von Unwerth seamlessly transitions between color and black and white, exploring themes of sexual intrigue, femininity, romance, fetishism, kitsch humor, decadence, and pure joy.
Whether they are covered in lingerie or not, the subjects resist being objectified. While some embrace their desires in an open manner, others keep their secrets close to the vest, drawing spectators into an exclusive world.
This captivating blend of fashion and fantasy brings together images captured over a period of 15 years, with many never-before-published photographs.
