Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

Vogue magazine investigates the role of beauty in our culture through the most significant images of the past 75 years. This book, published in conjunction with the exhibition of the same title (Milan, Spring 2009) is produced in collaboration with Dolce & Gabbana. Always audacious, sometimes outrageous, Vogue's images distinguish themselves by their willingness to explore the limits of contemporary ideas of beauty in images by the greatest photographers of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. The one hundred or so featured prints reveal profoundly sensual and highly provocative narratives that bear witness to complex cultural attitudes toward female appearance and self-expression.
