Hard cover, 396 p., English, 26*30 cm.

Horst: His Work and His World was written by Valentine Lawford, who was not only Horst’s biographer but also his longtime partner and creative collaborator. That makes this book feel personal as well as informative.
Along with telling Horst’s story, it includes around 299 black-and-white and color photographs. You’ll find many of his famous fashion images, along with lesser-known works and photographs from different stages of his life.

Published while Horst was still alive, the book also reflects his own memories and thoughts. It is still considered one of the most important books about his life and work.
