Bonkers! A Fortnight in London

Zusatztext

In Bonkers! A Fortnight in London, Bettina Rheims continues to explore the cities that inspire her. After Paris-featured in many of her books-and Shanghai, Rheims now indulges in the wild eccentricities of London, surrounding herself with models, actresses and other beauties on the go-in between catwalks, concerts and parties. Together the women play with the toys and tools of their trade: fashion accessories and costumes thrown into the mix by none other than Vivienne Westwood, lewd disguises and blatant nudity. Bonkers! is a dim, surreal world of female self-expression and eroticism.
