Brit Beauty Lilly Donaldson Gets Hysterical for Gucci

Gucci has tapped British beauty Lilly Donaldson for its new Hysteria Collection ad campaign. In the ads for the Italian fashion house's latest line of oversized, exotically-skinned carryalls, Donaldson frolics with a knight in golden Gucci armor. Donaldson, who appears on the cover of the new British Vogue, has also starred in ads for the likes of Prada, Dior, Jil Sander, Burberry and Dolce & Gabbana. See the gallery for the complete set of Hysteria images.

The Most Brilliant British Fashion Photographer
You've Never Heard Of

Filed under: Books

We look at lots of photo books in this line of work, but we've rarely been as impressed by one as much as teNeues' massive new Tim Walker monograph. The fact that the Brit fashion photographer's name is not as well known as that of some lesser talents must surely be corrected by the barrage of surreal, sublime images in Tim Walker: Pictures. A former assistant of Richard Avedon's, the 38-year-old obviously learned from the master, but he could hardly be called an Avedon imitator with his flair for elaborate, dreamlike tableaux. An exhibit of Walker's work opened in London last month, but for the $125 this vibrant volume costs you can be transported much further afield. No expense was spared for the extravagant British Vogue holiday shoot pictured above; the magazine even bought the vintage Rolls-Royce in case Walker had to destroy it in order to get the photo just right, as he never uses digital manipulation in his work.
