A true icon of contemporary photography, Martin Parr is famous for his quirky, pop shots documenting British society. Throughout his career, Parr has also taken numerous fashion photographs. Compiled for the first time in a book, this collection retraces more than 30 years of street photography, advertising campaigns and fashion shows. Since 1986, he has collaborated with leading brands and magazines. Without distinguishing between commissions and personal projects, the photographer takes ordinary places as his backdrop, placing passers-by and models on the same level. With bright, saturated colours and bold perspectives, these 250 images reveal his mischievous, unfiltered take on fashion. Fashion Faux Parr celebrates the vitality of Western fashion, while questioning the importance of appearance in our society.
