Peter Lindbergh: Azzedine Alaïa

Peter Lindbergh and Azzedine Alaïa, the photographer and couturier, were united by their love of black, a love they would cultivate in both silver-printed and plain garments. This coffee table book from TASCHEN celebrates their artistic collaboration.

In this book, the unique dialogue between the two artists is immortalized in print. The images illustrate their community of minds, celebrate their artistic partnership and attest to their pioneering achievements in photography and fashion. Despite their geographically opposite origins, Lindbergh and Alaïa pursued similar horizons. While Lindbergh's reputation in Germany grew thanks to his work in Stern magazine and he established his studio in Paris in 1978, Alaïa was the couturier cloaked in discretion whose refined techniques were a cherished secret among Haute Couture's most important clients.

Alaïa became the architect of bodies, revealing and unveiling them, while Lindbergh distinguished them by shining a light on their souls and personalities. Step by step, they became the creators who dominated their respective disciplines. Both rejected any artifice that distracted from their true subject matter, and it is with great ease that they came together for a number of powerful collaborations.
