Publisher: Te Neues ISBN-10: 3823810006 Author: Thomas Elsner Binding: Hardback Pages: 144 Size: 245x330 mm Platinum blond hair, ice-blue eyes, and "the longest legs in the western world"—Nadja Auermann streaked across the international fashion world of the 1990s like a Teutonic comet, cool and self-assured, with an Amazonian sex appeal and glamour reminiscent of Marlene Dietrich. At the same time, Nadja was arguably the most changeable supermodel of her generation, delighting in metamorphosis and occasionally intimidating even such assured photographers as Peter Lindbergh. This gallery of more than 80 full- and double-page fashion photographs by Richard Avedon, Michael Comte, Dominique Issermann, Helmut Newton, Irving Penn, Herb Ritts, Ellen von Unwerth, and others reveals her many faces, whether surrounded by a storm of blond hair à la Lady Godiva, reenacting the myth of Leda and the swan, or painted chocolate brown and reclining with panthers.
