'Out of Date'

Borthwick is regarded as one of the most influential fashion photographers of our time, ranking among the generation who in the nineties broke through the conventions of fashion photography. Borthwick digs deep into his archive of early work shot on Pola Pan a 35mm black-and-white instant Polaroid film.?The young experimental photographer was elliptically charmed by this film, which taught him the fragility of time and unwittingly encouraged him to trust in the virtues of mistakes, shaping his gentle, romantic, and dreamy signature photographic aesthetic. The book features his documentation of the streets of Paris and New York in the 1980s and 1990s, including portraits of family and friends; early fashion work featuring iconic models such as Kate Moss, Carolyn Murphy, Kristen Owen, and Stella Tennant; collaborations with fashion designers such as Maria Cornejo, John Galliano, and his muses such as Chloe Sevigny, Kim Gordon, Jane Birkin, Marianne Faithfull, Michael Hutchinson, and Vanessa Paradis; and his iconic album covers for Sinead O Connor. This will be the first major book of Borthwick s published in the last fifteen years. A groundbreaking fashion photographer, artist, and musician, this book will appeal to the legion of devoted fans of fashion, contemporary art, photography, and the alternative music scene.
