Book publisher Taschen just announced that they will release a two-volume coffee table book which highlights the life of supermodel Naomi Campbell.
The books will feature some of Naomi’s photos shot by Mert Alas, Marcus Piggott, Richard Avedon, Steven Meisel, and Paolo Roversi since the 1980s. The first of the two is a 268-page collector’s edition which features a raw nude photo of Naomi and are all signed by he. They will also come in a custom-made pink acrylic box shaped like her torso.
British artist Allen Jones, the one who made the boxes, says that he made them “not to illustrate Naomi, but to encapsulate her.”
Meanwhile, the second volume will include her autobiography from her humble beginnings in South London and her rise to fashion.
The first volume is said to be out later this month and only 1,000 copies will be sold on Taschen’s website for $1,750 (around P80,779). While this volume won’t be available in our nearest bookstores, we’re hoping that we can still grab a copy of the second volume once it comes out.
