Pamela Hanson: The '90s [Hardcover]

The iconic fashion photographer famous for capturing an ultrafeminine and adventurous spirit revisits her most memorable 1990s fashion images. Featuring the most recognizable faces from that decade, but seemingly still so fresh and relevant today.

Quintessential nineties images, taken from editorials for fashion magazines as well as many never-before-seen outtakes of behind-the-scenes candid moments, constitute this book by Hanson, who is known for her unique female gaze and famous for capturing the essence of youth in her vibrant and highly energetic images of beautiful girls having fun. Texture, light, and emotion play a pivotal role in her iconic documentary-style work. The book features intimate photographs of her muses and the top supermodels of the era, including Kristen McMenamy, Christy Turlington, Carla Bruni, Stephanie Seymour, Eva Herzigová, Milla Jovovich, Linda Evangelista, and many more. This is the first major book of Hanson’s published in the last twenty years, and it presents a nostalgic time capsule of one of the most fetishized decades of fashion.2026 Booktique Awards Winner, celebrating today’s most coffee-table-worthy books
