As one of the twentieth century’s most important photographers, Cecil Beaton helped invent the cult of the celebrity image while pushing the boundaries of his art form with innovative techniques and staging. In the course of his decades-long career as a photographer for Vogue and Vanity Fair, as well as a British war correspondent, Cecil Beaton documented lives both famous and quotidian—including his own, in dozens of scrapbooks now held by Sotheby’s London. In these pages, reproduced here for the very first time, the inner vision of the man behind the camera takes center stage. Composed of his own prints and of clippings from magazines, newspapers, and playbills, the pages are an instructive record of his creative process. His famous eye alighted on society figures, royals, dancers, actors, statesmen, and natives in ceremonial garb, picking out visual rhymes and witty juxtapositions. To flip through the pages is to enter a fabulous and surreal party where Tallulah Bankhead rubs shoulders with a bust of Voltaire and a portrait of Stravinsky; where Beaton’s first trip on the Queen Mary coincides with Queen Elizabeth’s coronation. The precursor to the “mood board,” Beaton’s scrapbooks allowed the artist to play with pictures he had taken (and perhaps those he wished he had) in the dreamspace of artifice that was always his favorite setting.

Founded in 1925 by Edoardo and Adele Fendi with the creation of workshops devoted to leather goods and fur, Fendi is first and foremost a Roman luxury house. Inspired by the architecture, colors, and textures of Rome, Fendi designs are a true product of the city they represent. It is also a family company of strong women—Silvia Venturini Fendi, the creative director for accessories and menswear, belongs to the third generation in the business. And, while remaining faithful to these roots, Fendi is not afraid to look outward: Since 1965, Karl Lagerfeld, now creative director for fur and ready-to-wear, has brought his unique, forward-looking perspective to the brand. With breathtaking photographs of Fendi designs and their inspirations, Fendi Roma celebrates ninety years of family, artistry, and craftsmanship. 11 x 14 in – 28 x 35 cm 272 pages 300+ illustrations Hardcover in luxury slipcase
