Haute Couture: The Polaroids of Cathleen Naundorf

Whether the incredible pieces of haute couture were designed by Chanel, Dior, Gaultier or Valentino, their beauty is preserved in the gorgeous large-format images captured with Polaroid cameras by Cathleen Naundorf and collected in this book. Her well-honed technique, which combines instant film's distinctive colours and shadow with the artist's remarkable instinct, results in photographs that resemble paintings - haunting, muted, and raw. Not only are they a feast for fashion-hungry eyes, but they are also a testament to the talents of this young artist who has forged a formidable reputation in the fashion world.
