Description

‘Sexy, polished and subtly sinister. His photo archive is to die for’ – The Times"It’s a surprising book of contrasts and contradictions, a paean to the fashion image of the time, one clearly influenced by the mono-chromatic asceticism of Horst and the drenched hues of Guy Bourdin." — The Sunday Times Style"Flipping through Willie Christie's book you can discern an artistic mood in many of his fashion clicks..." — Kathimerini"An artistic work that interweaves virtuality and reality to attract the audience to explore further." — Vogue ChinaWillie Christie’s photographs are far more than a record of fashion, style or contemporary culture.

Dynamic, cinematic and stylish, they present beautifully observed moments within a narrative, leaving the viewer intrigued, beguiled and enthralled.

His work from the heady mid-1970s remains highly relevant today, speaking to us through the uncompromising individuality and power of his compositions. And as recently as 2019, his ground-breaking series of advertising images for Medway Shoes threw another curve ball across the field of modern visual art. With a foreword by legendary Vogue style director Grace Coddington, this first ever collection of Christie’s vibrant work, re-examines the people and the styles of his original output, together with his own reminiscences from his days at Vogue and The Sunday Times, and from his collaborations with Pink Floyd and The Rolling Stones.
