Catwalking: Photographs by Chris Moore

Product Information

It’s an aesthetic that came to be synonymous with sophistication and good taste, and those set ideas are hard to mess with. Catwalking is a very personal and intimate chronicle, a diary, and a progressive body of work that Moore has created with his boundless supply of fashion photographs.

Written by Lou Stoppard and contributor Suzy Menkes in collaboration with Chloé, the book features catwalk photography from the Maison's creation in 1950’s to the present. Written by Alexandre Samson and Anders Christian Madsen, this is the most comprehensive catwalk book on Givenchy ever published, and is a must-have for any fan of fashion history. The book by New Mags has an inspiring content with interesting texts and big pictures perfect for the fashionista. Always unafraid to go against the grain, he was the first to position a celebrity as his muse, famously dressing Audrey Hepburn for decades, and the first to recognise the value of a logo, creating the iconic interlocking ‘4G’ insignia with artist Pierre Dinand in 1970.Each new era in Givenchy’s history opens with a brief overview and biography of the new designer, while individual collections are introduced by a short text unveiling their influences and highlights, illustrated with carefully curated catwalk images. This feat was repeated on 19 May 2018, when Givenchy became the first French fashion house to have designed a wedding dress for a member of the British royal family. He is currently the runway photographer for the International Herald Tribune and the New York Times. Prior to this, from 2013 to 2016 Fury was fashion editor of the Independent, i and the Independent on Sunday newspapers.

It really reminded me of how important it is that we continue to document the shows and not just the celebrities who attend them.This is the ultimate and only edit of Moore's work throughout his career and covering the changing face of the catwalk.
