CITY Issue 58 - (Page 16) ACTION BEVERLY HILLS PROVIDENCE SHANGHAI NEW YORK LONDON BELOW, COVER OF PICTURES, BY TIM WALKER, PUBLISHED BY TENEUES, SEPTEMBER 2008. Picture Perfect BOOK: PICTURES, BY TIM WALKER With a book as captivating — and, at 370 pages, heavy — as Tim Walker’s Pictures (teNeues), you may need to get a more fashionable (and stronger) coffee table to display it. Through sketches, contact sheets, Polaroids, and large-format film, Walker’s astonishing couture images, which have appeared in Vogue and W, come to life. Just a taste of what you will see once you open this book is above: Lily Cole modeling a power blue Stella McCartney dress in an abandoned palace in India. Other fashionable highlights include a shot of model Coco Rocha in a surreal setting, posing with a 10 foot-high glove, and model Erin O’Connor standing in a field in Essex, England surrounded by mirror cut-outs shaped like geese. And with the adorable shot of model Lisa Cant dressed in a Hefner-esque bunny costume on the jacket, it’s okay to judge this book by its cover. $125. — RENEE LUCAS 16 CITY TY
