Items related to Karl Lagerfeld/Amanda Harlech: Visions and a Decision
Visions and a Decision is a tale of the delightfully lascivious power of the human imagination. Combining black-andwhite photographs by Karl Lagerfeld from the advertising campaign for Dom Pérignon Oenothèque 1993 champagne and a story by Amanda Harlech, it charts the sensual fantasies of a young bachelor about his bride-to-be. Our first glimpse of the couple is in their decadent eighteenth-century drawing room. The male protagonist Ghyslain de Larzicourt is charming, ruthless yet oddly restless; his female companion Malvina is beautiful, studious and demure. This is a story of a young handsome old-money couple, explains Lagerfeld, Everything is perfect, theyre just a little bored. As Ghyslain nurses a sparkling glass of champagne and Malvina reads her poetry book, he ponders this cryptic woman, elegant and refined in grey cashmere and pearls can she fulfil the elaborate expectations he has of his future wife? And so, with Dom Pérignon as the catalyst, begin Ghyslains fantasies of how Malvina might be. Within his imagination she is transformed into an array of seductive characters including Marlene the French maid in fishnet stockings, Suzie Wong the Asian temptress in crimson silk, Gloria the glamorous soul diva complete with afro, and Alma the dominatrix in studded black leather. Says Lagerfeld: That she could be all women in one is a perfect idea, and Dom Pérignon helps him to think its possible and to give almost a physical aspect to his fantasies. Modelled on a traditional fairy-tale book with a title plaque embossed in silver, a black cloth bookmark and silver printing throughout, Visions and a Decision is perhaps not without a playful moral. Suppressing our desires is a dangerous thing; liberating them could be the beginning of a delectable existence.

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. Karl Lagerfeld and Amanda Harlech; Visions and a Decision; Steidl, Gottingen, Germany, 2007. First edition. This photo story features photographs of two "beautiful people" Claudia Schiffer and Brad Kroenig. Karl Otto Lagerfeld (1933 2019) was a German creative director, fashion designer, artist, photographer, and caricaturist. He was known as the creative director of the French fashion house Chanel, a position held from 1983 until his death, and was also creative director of the Italian fur and leather goods fashion house Fendi, and of his own eponymous fashion label. He collaborated on a variety of fashion and art-related projects. Lagerfeld was recognized for his signature white hair, black sunglasses, fingerless gloves, and high, starched, detachable collars. He was at the pinnacle of Haute Couture. Amanda Jane Ormsby-Gore, Baroness Harlech (née Grieve; May 1958) is a British creative consultant and writer with a long association with the couturiers John Galliano and Karl Lagerfeld. She was named to the International Best Dressed List Hall of Fame in 1997. Claudia Maria Schiffer ( born1970) is a German model and actress based in the United Kingdom. She rose to fame in the 1990s as one of the world's most successful models, attaining supermodel status. In her early career, she was compared to Brigitte Bardot. She has appeared on more than 1,000 magazine covers and holds the record for the model with the most magazine covers, listed in the Guinness Book of World Records. In 2002, Forbes estimated her net worth to be around US$55 million. Brad Kroenig (born 23 April 1979), is an American fashion model. Kroenig started his modelling career in 2002 with a long-standing collaboration with fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld. He has graced numerous magazine covers including VMAN, Vogue, Numéro Homme and Allure. Kroenig has appeared in print campaigns for designers including Chanel, Fendi, Dolce & Gabbana, Abercrombie & Fitch, Roberto Cavalli, DKNY, Gap and Adidas, and on the runway for Chanel and Michael Kors. This is a sumptuous volume by and about beautiful people. This thin, folio book measuring 334mm X 245mm, is in fine condition. I have been in the book business for a long time, and I have used the acronym "aeg" for all edges gilt, but this is the first book I have had that is "aes" for all edges silver! The cloth binding, black and grey glistens. The quality of this Steidl volume is absolutely first class just like the cast involved. The dust jacket is in near-fine condition. It is slightly scuffed and has a silvery finish to match the book. This is a very scarce, spectacular, high-end fashion production, as would be expected from those involved in its creation.
