Description

Taken between the mid-1960s and early 1980s, this selection of Newton fashion editorials-one of the first books he ever published-is accompanied by journal entry-style texts by Newton providing anecdotes and describing the circumstances of each shoot. On every page is evidence of Newton's groundbreaking vision that transformed fashion photography-an influence that can still be seen today in the pages of the greatest fashion magazines.

Reviews

Newton's World Without Men is filled to the brim with fashion photography that is sometimes lush, always thought provoking and occasionally risqu. It is a bounty for the eyes. * Photo District News *
Hasn't just about everyone tried to copy Newton, but only the 'master' himself managed to handle sex and elegance in such a casual, yet cool and calculated way. * Stern *
