Vogue Releases New Books On Calvin Klein And Jean Paul Gauliter

The latest designers to be featured in Vogue's On Designers books series are Calvin Klein and Jean Paul Gaultier.

Penned by esteemed fashion editor Carolyn Asome, Vogue on Jean Paul Gaultier explores how the French designer's illustrious "bad boy" reputation earned him a loyal following amongst fashion's most prominent figures. From designing bespoke corsets for Madonna's world tour to crafting bespoke haute couture to launching a fragrance line, Gaultier's accolades have been nothing short of revolutionary. The book follows the designer's unrivalled trajectory from his very first show in Paris in 1976 to his role as creative director at Hermès to launching an eponymous line. Asome's intelligent commentary provides a detailed analysis of Gaultier's timeless influence as exhibited through stunning photography by the likes of Mario Testino as seen in the pages of Vogue.


Vogue on Calvin Klein by Natasha Fraser-Cavassoni follows the esteemed fashion journalist's first Vogue On book featuring Yves Saint Laurent, published in 2015. The author's latest literary offering delves into the minimalistic glamour of one of America's most esteemed fashion designers. Calvin Klein's all-American aesthetic has been extensively documented in Vogue through the years by some of the world's most-celebrated photographers including Lord Snowdon, Terry Donovan and Nick Knight. From that famous campaign featuring Kate Moss and Mark Wahlberg to the perennial wave of #MyCalvins post on social media, Klein's influence continues to reverberate through the industry, as Fraser-Cavassoni illustrates.
