■ "HANDBAGS" Juergen Teller

This extensive photo book brings together images filled with an obsession with handbags by popular fashion photographer Juergen Teller, who has worked on campaign and editorial photos for numerous fashion brands.




Many celebrities, including Kate Moss, Vivienne Westwood, Sofia Coppola, Tilda Swinton, John Malkovich, Victoria Beckham, and Michael Clarke, have appeared carrying luxurious and unique bags.

This is a fascinating book that shows bags, which have become more than just fashion items and have become symbols of status and identity, in a variety of landscapes, locations and contexts.





This book is a compilation of the works from the exhibition "JUERGEN TELLER" held at the Villa Pignatelli Museum in Naples, Italy from April 13 to May 19, 2019. Published in conjunction with the exhibition "HANDBAGS", MUSEO VILLA PIGNATELLI, NAPLES.
