Book Overview
Skrebneski is celebrated as one of the world's finest fashion and portrait photographers. His diverse body of work has won him international accolades and, for more than half a century, he has photographed the world's most famous people, from Orson Welles, Truman Capote, and Audrey Hepburn to Andy Warhol, David Bowie, and Iman. In 1962, Skrebneski became the exclusive photographer for Estee Lauder, and over the years his flawless images of models such as Paulina Porizkova and Willow Bay made history. Five Beautiful Women is an elegant portfolio, originally published in 1987, to commemorate his twenty-five year collaboration with Estee Lauder. For the project, five distinctly beautiful models were chosen--Phyllis Connor, Karen Harris, Karen Graham, Shaun Casey, and Willow Bay--and, as Hubert de Givenchy notes, " Skrebneski] succeeded in his very personal way to convey not only the external individuality of his subjects but, what in my opinion is most important, their inner beings."

Awesome if you love the old Estee Lauder ads.

I'm somewhat embarrassed to admit that I've been collecting all the Estee Lauder magazine ads since the late 1960s. This is basically a collection of ads in book form. If you love those old B & W ads, you'll love this book. Great for the fashion collector.
Beautiful Women, Beautiful Book... TREMENDOUS PHOTOGRAPHER!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
As a huge fan not only of Estee Lauder but also of the magic of Victor Skrebneski's alliance with the Lauder empire over the course of 3 decades, this book is a revelation! The only glaring omission was that Paulina Porizkova, who was perhaps the most beautiful face Estee Lauder ever signed was not added to this re-released edition (even though the title would then be "Six Beautiful Women" but the name change would have been well worth it!). My only hope is that at some point, Victor and the Lauders' will see fit to publish a "sequel" in which Paulina's tenure with Estee Lauder will be pictorially documented.
