Cecil Beaton (1904-1980) was a man of dazzling charm and style, and his talents were many. In his twenties, he recorded London and New York society in needle-sharp words and drawings, and then, at Conde Nasts insistence, in photographs. This book introduces articles, drawings and photographs by Beaton dating from the 1920s to the 1970s.

Rezensionen
'Surveys the life and work of an extraordinary fashion auteur ... Beaton's romantic vision captured starlets and socialites alike. The sheer breadth of his talent impresses as he sketches, shoots and quips his way into the pages of Vogue' - Vogue
