Slim Aarons: Women explores the central subject of the renowned photographer's career: the
extraordinary women from the upper echelons of high society the arts fashion and Hollywood.
"Page after page reveals an unreal world. . . . Socialites in their mansions film stars by
their pools. . . . Aarons earned the trust of the very rich-Jackie Kennedy Princess Grace of
Monaco Imelda Marcos-and the very famous-Cary Grant Marilyn Monroe Errol Flynn-as well as a
passing parade of young women at play on yachts at exclusive beach resorts or in their
expensive homes." - The Guardian This gorgeous coffee table book presents the women who most
influenced Aarons's life and work-and the other remarkable personalities he photographed along
the way-including Audrey Hepburn the Duchess of Windsor Diana Vreeland Esther Williams
Marianne Faithful and Marlene Dietrich all featured in unforgettable photographs. The
collection contains more than 250 images the majority of which have not appeared in previous
books along with detailed captions written by one of Aarons's closest colleagues Laura Hawk.
Hawk writes in her introduction "Slim's visual narratives give us an intimate glimpse into the
world of the upper classes and their rituals in the pursuit of leisure. That his half century
of work continues to captivate successive generations of admirers-and that this is the fifth
book published of his photography-reveals not only a yearning for an irretrievable time gone by
but also a universal fascination with the seeming forbidden worlds of wealth and privilege."
Showcasing beautiful women at their most glamorous in some of the most dazzling locations
across the globe Slim Aarons: Women is a fresh look at the acclaimed photographer through the
muses who inspired his most incredible photographs.
