There’s nothing like having high quality prints of Irving Penn, Richard Avedon, Helmut Newton, Steven Klein, Annie Leibovitz, Steven Meisel and several other established photographer’s work in the confines of your own home. I had the opportunity to snag a copy of Dolce & Gabbana’s collaborated photo compilation, Extreme Beauty In Vogue, before it hit’s shelves in October, and I must admit, I feel like a child staring at a picture book, completely mesmerized by every photo. Edited by Phyllis Posnick with an essay by Eva Respini, Extreme Beauty In Vogue exposes photographic, stylistic and journalistic perceptions of female beauty and opinions on allure. Featuring two centuries of work, the evolution of cultural attitudes on women is exposed in this coffee-table must have. And for those of you hung up on Vogue’s typical conservatism, there’s enough nipples, asses, bestiality and blood to suit your fancy. Shove your Beatles anthology to the side folks, because this $55 investment is what your dinner guests should be snooping through!

If you happen to be one of those lucky few, I advise that you make time to visit Milan’s Palazzo della Ragione for the “Extreme Beauty In Vogue” exhibit. In honor of Dolce & Gabbana’s makeup collection debut, the exhibit analyzes the role of beauty in modern culture via Vogue spreads over the past 75 years. The breathtaking works of world renowned photographers like Annie Leibovitz, Irving Penn, Richard Avedon and Steven Klein appear in the exhibit created and curated by American Vogue. Excuse me while I go book plane tickets to Italy.
