Book Description "My weimaraners are perfect fashion models. Their elegant slinky forms are covered in gray-and gray, everyone knows, goes with anything." -William Wegman William Wegman`s fanciful photographs and videos of his dogs-seen in galleries and books and on Sesame Street, t-shirts, screensavers, and more-have made him one of America`s best-loved artists. Published to accompany a major traveling exhibition, this book presents Wegman`s most intriguing and provocative portfolio to date: a series of eerily anthropomorphic (and very funny) high-fashion photographs. Modeling clothes by some of today`s most exciting designers, including Jean-Paul Gaultier, Helmut Lang, Alexander McQueen, Issey Miyake, Todd Oldham, and Anna Sui, canine supermodels Battina, Chundo, Chooky, and Chip display all the attitude and insouciance of their human counterparts-and gently play on our obsession with beauty, style, luxury, and celebrity. 84 illustrations, 79 in full color, 1 foldout, 10 x 12" WILLIAM WEGMAN`S many books for children and adults, which together have sold more than 500,000 copies, include Abrams` perennial favorite Man`s Best Friend and its companion calendar as well as the New York Times bestseller William Wegman Puppies, and, most recently, Fay, a biography of his star model. INGRID SISCHY is the editor of Interview magazine. Her essays have appeared in many books, including, most recently, Robert Mapplethorpe: Pictures and Ellen von Unwerth: Couples.
