Description
"Great fashion photography not only understands the beauty of clothing but also adds a twist that grabs the eye and sparks the imagination. With Steven Klein, you'll give him a dress, and he'll give you a girl with a dress with a robot in a garden. It's clever, conceptual, and ultimately lyrical." -Anna Wintour
STEVEN KLEIN: VOGUE is a gorgeous collection of photographs commissioned by Anna Wintour for American Vogue, spanning 2000 to 2019. The book traces the evolution of Klein's visual language over nearly two decades, showcasing work defined by dark sensuality, psychological intensity, and cinematic staging.
Klein's fashion photography is instantly recognizable for its bold fusion of glamour, eroticism, and psychological drama. His images push beyond traditional fashion spreads, often resembling film stills in their scale and tension.
Alexander McQueen, Bjork, Nicki Minaj, and Karl Lagerfeld make notable appearances, but the book is ultimately anchored by Klein's models-each one commanding the frame as central figures in carefully constructed visual narratives where power, control, and desire unfold.
What sets Klein apart is his refusal to idealize-he creates work that seduces and unnerves, inviting viewers into immersive, often transgressive, visual experiences that challenge the conventions of beauty and luxury.
