Photographs by various contributors, a Who's Who of contemporary photography. Introduction by Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana. Printed on pristine-white, thick coated stock paper in the United States to the highest standards. In metallic-silver DJ, which glows against the light, and with titles on the cover and spine, as issued. Presents, in its Limited Edition format, Domenico Dolce's and Stefano Gabbana's "Hollywood". High Fashion's glamorous and starstruck homage to Hollywood. With a brilliant twist that only Dolce & Gabbana could have pulled off: Every Hollywood star featured in the book is wearing (but of course) Dolce & Gabbana, one of the sexiest, most elegant, and most cutting-edge names in contemporary fashion. The book is conceived and realized as the modern-day version of Diana Vreeland's classic, "Allure" (first published in 1980, reissued in 2002, one year before this book). It is an adoring movie fan's scrapbook of her (or his) favorite Hollywood stars, divided into six alluring parts: "Glamour", "Power", "Romance", "Red Carpet", "Seduction", and "Leading Men". The stars are A-Listers and include Glenn Close, Penelope Cruz, Cameron Diaz, Kirsten Dunst, Goldie Hawn, Elizabeth Hurley, Angelina Jolie, Nicole Kidman, Diane Lane, Jennifer Lopez, Madonna, Julianne Moore, Demi Moore, Julia Roberts, Isabella Rossellini, Susan Sarandon, Uma Thurman, Naomi Watts, and Catherine Zeta-Jones, among the women; Kevin Bacon, William Baldwin, Antonio Banderas, Adrien Brody, Leonardo diCaprio, Willem Dafoe, Matt Dillon, Colin Farrell, Josh Hartnett, Jude Law, Heath Ledger, Dermot Mulroney, Brad Pitt, Dennis Quaid, Owen Wilson, and Billy Zane, among the men. Except for "Red Carpet", which consists of "paparazzi" snapshots, all of the photographs are portraits, taken by the best fashion/celebrity photographers of our time: Gian Paolo Barbieri, Walter Chin, Michel Comte, Patrick Demarchelier, David LaChapelle, Annie Leibovitz, Peter Lindbergh, Robert Maxwell, Steven Meisel, Herb Ritts, Mark Seliger, Peggy Sirota, Mario Testino, Ellen von Unwerth, Albert Watson, and Bruce Weber, among others. An absolute "must-have" title for Dolce & Gabbana and Hollywood collectors. This is a copy of the Signed Limited Edition. It is very boldly and beautifully signed in metallic-silver pen-marker on the title page by Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana. It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page. This title is a contemporary photography classic. As far as we know, this is the only such double-signed copy of the Limited Edition available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: Precedes and should NOT be confused with the regular trade edition, which is NOT signed. A rare signed copy thus. Some of the world's biggest stars, dressed by two of the most brilliant fashion designers, and photographed by some of the finest photographers of our time. A fine collectible copy. . ISBN 284323526X.
