In a new title for Louis Vuitton's Fashion Eye Series, New York photographer Slim Aarons captures the warm atmosphere of the Italian Riviera in the 70s and 80s, inspired by the golden age of transalpine cinema.
Under the sun of Portofino or Cinque Terre, Slim Aarons finds an inexhaustible playground in the mystical universe of Italian cinema. Over the course of several days spent at Cinecittà, Europe's largest film-making complex, he captures shared moments between iconic actors of the era – from Marcello Mastroianni to Romy Schneider, interwoven with shots of anonymous people he meets on the beach. Through sun-kissed coastal skin, long lunches shaded by a lemon tree or parties set in plush interiors, the American photograph writes his own script
Nicknamed “Slim” because he was tall and lanky, American photographer George Allen Aarons is famous for his carefree images of celebrities, aristocrats, Hollywood stars and captains of industry. A pleasure seeker and a gentleman, at a certain point he decided he wanted to enjoy the good life - probably owing to the fact that, as a young photographer, he had enlisted in the US Army and documented the horrors of World War II. In his work, between swimming pools and luxury villas, fashion became an art of living. Inspired by the House's travel heritage, the Louis Vuitton Fashion Eye collection evokes cities, regions or countries through the eyes of fashion photographers, from emerging talents to industry legends. Each title in the series features an extensive selection of large-format photographs, together with biographical information and an interview with the photographer or a critical essay. After Louis Vuitton City Guides and Travel Books, this third collection presents travel photography with a fashion perspective, as the chosen photographers all infuse their images of great cities, faraway places or dream destinations with their unique vision.
