As New/No Jacket - As Issued. 472pp, profusely illustrated in duotone and color. Designed by Sara Siri. "Melvin Sokolsky's photographs are deeply imaginative, challenging the aesthetic conventions of the advertising and editorial worlds. Reflecting the artist's fascination with Surrealist art, Sokolsky's photographs play with spacial relationships, scale, proportion, visual rationality, and the laws of physics. Sokolsky defines an aesthetic that continually creates images which transcend the clothes they purport to feature, always provoking, always engaging, always alluring. "Archive" is a massive retrospective monograph of Melvin Sokolsky's photography from the 1960s to the present. This luxurious limited edition features essays and commentary by the noted photographer that accompany hundreds of Sokolsky's iconic fashion images, including work with supermodels Simone D'Aillencourt, Carmen dell'Orefice, and Twiggy among many others".
