About the artist
Slim Aarons was one of the twentieth century’s most prolific documenters of high society. Over six decades, Aarons photographed some of the world’s most beautiful people in the globe’s most desirable destinations: jet-setting from Beverly Hills to Capri to the French Riviera, Aarons snapped everyone from the Kennedy family and Humphrey Bogart to Marilyn Monroe and Grace Kelly.
Aarons was a master of composition with a meticulous eye for detail. Via intimate portraits and sun-drenched landscapes, Aarons captured a golden age of wealth and privilege that stood in contrast to the cultural and political backdrop of the time.
Over the course of his career, Aarons took over 750,000 photographs, only 5,000 of which have ever been digitised. His photographs have graced the pages of prestigious publications including, Life, Town and Country, Vanity Fair and Harper’s Bazaar. Despite passing away in 2006, Aarons continues to inspire the worlds of film and high fashion, with the likes of Paul Smith, Tom Ford and Michael Kors creating collections inspired by the photographer.
