"One of the great pioneers of fashion photography, Norman Parkinson is famous for his sense of style and glamour. Heralded as one of the true innovators in his field, he pushed the boundaries of the day by bringing the model out of the studio and into the street. He set the model against unusual and daring backdrops, such as the gritty working-class districts of London, and was a seminal influence on subsequent generations of fashion photographers. Norman Parkinson: A Very British Glamour is a lavish portrait of Parkinson's long career from the 1930s to the 1980s. In a unique collaboration with the Norman Parkinson Archive in London, his iconic photographs for Vogue, Queen, and Harper's Bazaar are reproduced alongside a trove of previously unpublished fashion work. The classics of Parkinson's work are also shown here, providing the full breadth of his career. This exciting and definitive look into Parkinson's illustrious legacy is sure to rank among the most important publications on fashion and photography."
