Supermodel, entrepreneur, activist, provocateur. Since her teenage rise to stardom, Naomi Campbell has dazzled the world with her looks, her strength, and her irrepressible spirit. The first black model to grace the cover of French Vogue and TIME magazine, she has been the face of hundreds of magazine covers, countless editorials and advertising campaigns, and a favorite subject for some of the best photographers of the ’80s, ’90s, and today. This signed, limited, two-volume Collector’s Edition celebrates Campbell’s remarkable career amidst the greatest legends of fashion and photography with jaw-dropping images and exclusive autobiographical text. Volume 1 showcases the very best of Campbell’s portfolio, with photographs from the likes of Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott, Richard Avedon, Anton Corbijn, Patrick Demarchelier, Steven Meisel, Helmut Newton, Herb Ritts, Paolo Roversi, Mario Testino, Ellen von Unwerth, and Bruce Weber, and such unforgettable shoots as Peter Lindbergh’s joyful sequence of Naomi dancing as Josephine Baker on the beach in Deauville for Italian Vogue, or Jean-Paul Goude’s stunning composition of Naomi racing a cheetah for U.S. Harper's Bazaar. Volume 2 features Naomi’s extensive autobiographical text, illustrated by magazine covers, ads, never-before-seen personal snapshots, video stills, and more. Naomi recalls her childhood; the beginning of her modeling career; her work with fashion’s greatest designers, including Azzedine Alaïa, John Galliano, Marc Jacobs, Karl Lagerfeld, Gianni Versace; and experiencing the meteoric rise to superstardom. Photographer biographies and an illustrated appendix are also included. |

Photographer biographies and an illustrated appendix are also included. À l’occasion de cette époustouflante rencontre entre l’art et la mode, le volume 1 est présenté dans un coffret en plexiglas signé par le grand nom du pop art anglais, Allen Jones. Célèbre pour son mobilier fétichiste controversé, Allen Jones a conservé un langage visuel personnel et marquant depuis l’émergence de l’art pop dans les années 1950. Ses sculptures, peintures et lithographies mêlent représentation féminine et images de la vie urbaine, du consumérisme et de la société du spectacle. L’œuvre de Jones a été montrée dans des expositions personnelles à travers le monde, la plus récente étant une grande rétrospective proposée à la Royal Academy de Londres. Conçu pour l’Édition d’art de Naomi Campbell, le coffret de Jones en plexiglas révèle des formes stylisées et une surface lisse, évoquant le sens du toucher tout rappelant le rôle du top model dans la culture contemporaine. Selon les mots de Jones, il n’entend pas représenter Naomi, mais la résumer. In a dazzling meeting of art and fashion, Volume 1 is presented in a multiple artwork by British pop art luminary, Allen Jones. Best known for his controversial fetish furniture, Allen Jones has maintained a uniquely striking visual language ever since the emergence of Pop in the 1950s. In sculpture, painting, and lithography, he merges female figuration with the iconography of city life, consumerism, and spectacle. Jones’ work has been exhibited in solo shows around the world, most recently in a major retrospective at the Royal Academy, London. For the Naomi Campbell Art Edition, Jones’ artwork deploys stylized contours and smooth surfaces to invoke a sense of touch, while exploring the role of the supermodel in contemporary culture. In Jones’s words, “it does not attempt to illustrate Naomi, but to encapsulate her.” |

“The book is a culmination of my life’s work. It includes all that I’ve done in the fashion business for the past 29½ years. The book is a timeline of my career, and has allowed me to remember and give credit to all the wonderful people I’ve had the pleasure of working with over the years. Because of this, it’s very special to me. It took quite a few years to put this book together, because we didn’t want to rush it. It was important both to Benedikt Taschen and I to find all of my pictures and compile them into two really beautiful books…Working with Benedikt was a great experience – I love and respect him, and I wouldn’t have wanted to create a book like this with anyone else. For me, it was a dream come true.” — Naomi Campbell speaking in GARAGE Magazine, London À propos de l'artiste Allen Jones RA (né le 1er septembre 1937) est un artiste pop anglais notamment reconnu pour ses peintures figuratives, ses sculptures et ses lithographies, comme la fameuse série Chaise, Table et Porte-manteau. Jones a enseigné à la Hochschule für bildende Künste de Hambourg, à la University of South Florida, la University of California, à la Banff Center School of Fine Arts au Canada, ainsi qu’à la University of Arts de Berlin. Il est membre de la Royal Academy of Arts. À propos de l'éditeur Josh Baker conçoit des livres pour TASCHEN depuis 2005.
