Paolo Roversi
This definitive monograph surveys the last fifty years of fashion photographer Paolo Roversi's distinctive output, and has been developed and designed in close collaboration with the artist.

Arriving in Paris from Ravenna in 1973, Paolo Roversi produced his first series of photographs in 1977, which were immediately picked up by the fashion press. From then on, he devoted himself to fashion photography, working for the greatest designers and for the most prestigious magazines, simultaneously occupying a position both at the heart of the fashion world and far from its ephemeral trends.

Ultimately in search of pure beauty, Roversi creates timeless and mysterious work, which is shaped by his choice of studio and use of large format and Polaroid cameras. At the heart of his photography are his close relationships with fashion designers and models, most famously with Yohji Yamamoto, as well as Romeo Gigli, Rei Kawakubo, and Dior. These fruitful collaborations have allowed Roversi to continuously challenge and renew his practice.
