Synopsis

"Menke has earned a reputation for being able to blend fashion with real-life reportage. Her new book, See the World Beautiful, is a collection of photographs taken while on assignment - some from the fashion shoots she was commissioned to do, but most taken for her own interest." Kate Salter, The Telegraph

"Menke explores just how fashion and art collide by training her lens on indigenous cultures across the world. Complete with a foreword by Tommy Hilfiger, Menke's tome displays joyous pilgrimages in India, festivals in Mongolia, and harvests in the Andes, capturing the interconnectedness of these seemingly disparate cultures." Kristin Buettner, Harper's Bazaar

Anne Menke has travelled the world on assignment for the likes of Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, Vanity Fair, and The New York Times, usually in search of the perfect environment to shoot a fashion spread. Through this, she has discovered that these environments themselves are the origins of much of the fashion we see on the runways today and has compiled an incredible record of people and places with that in mind.

About this title

Review:

'I must say I have a particular crush for this book, which intertwines two art practices present in our daily lives: fashion and photography. In our rapid changing world, we must preserve those cultural characteristics that build the strength and diversity of the world community. This book testimonies the power of travels that nourishes human's inspiration' --My Blabla Art
