A Night with Ellen von Unwerth

Taschen Beverly Hills, hosted a Friday night masquerade ball in honor of the queen of erotic fashion photography, Ellen von Unwerth, and her newest edition of “Fraulein.” Her visit marks her only Los Angeles signing of the year. A model herself for nearly a decade, Ms. von Unwerth has a sympathetic quality behind the lens enabling her to capture insightfully revealing images of our era’s favorite women, on their terms. (Claudia Schiffer, Kate Moss, Vanessa Paradis, Britney Spears, Dita von Teese, Adriana Lima + more = 472 pages of goodness) The Neon Angels were stoked to have been a part of the celebration & we continue to admire the work of such an accomplished female talent.

Fashion and fetish in a female fantasy land, whether nude or in lingerie and a dazzling smile, her subjects are never objectified. Some flaunt personal fantasies; others are guarded, suggesting that we have stumbled into a secret world.” -Ingrid Sischy Contributing Editor for Vanity Fair“The great quality here is that the power belongs to the subject— any fantasy projected is ultimately her own. To be allowed a glimpse into her world feels like a privilege.”The Independent, London
