A quarter century of the most famous photographs by Helmut Newton  Steven Meisel  Herb Ritts  Peter Lindbergh  Bruce Weber  Scavullo  David Bailey  Nick Knight  and many others are contextualized by well-known essayists  a chorus of celebrity contributions  and Imans own take on her much-mythologized career. The books outrageous pop design--by graphic designers Barnbrook Studios--makes it plain that this is not just one womans success story. I Am Iman captures the funny  infuriating  and often absurd validation of black and ethnic looks in a beauty industry where billions of dollars--and the self-image of women everywhere--are on the line.  Peeks behind the curtain and scintillating interviews are courtesy of feminist critic bell hooks  Interview editor Ingrid Sischy  model and manager Bethann Hardison  and such celebrities as Cindy Crawford  Yves St. Laurent  Naomi Campbell  Bruce Weber  Tyra Banks  and many more. With graphic design featuring gatefolds  diecuts  and other interactive elements  as well as specially commissioned  never-before-seen images by Annie Leibowitz  Ellen Von Unwerth  Sante DOrazio  and Michel Comte  this book is an assemblage worthy of any fashionistas dream.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45792139378741,"sku":"ByrdShop_0789306336","price":240.06,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780789306333.jpg?v=1784743408","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/i-am-iman-9780789306333","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
