EIGHTIES - DAVID BAILEY BOOK (ENGLISH)

In the vibrant 1980s, fashion embraced a bold, transformative aesthetic, and found one of its greatest visual storytellers in the legendary British photographer, David Bailey. Having helped define the Swinging Sixties, Bailey returned to capture the spirit of a new generation, where vivid colors, elevated glamour, expressive makeup, and unapologetic style shaped an unforgettable era.

Eighties brings together Bailey’s most iconic images published in magazines like Vogue Italia, Vogue Paris, Tatler, and many others. Featuring haute couture and ready-to-wear collections by influential designers such as Azzedine Alaïa, Comme des Garçons, Guy Laroche, Missoni, Stephen Jones, Valentino, and Yves Saint Laurent, this book is a visual tribute to a decade of boundless creativity.

The photographs capture the shimmer of jewels, the flowing silks, and the power of the era’s iconic tailoring, brought to life by legendary models like Naomi Campbell, Cindy Crawford, Catherine Deneuve, Princess Diana, Jerry Hall, Grace Jones, Christy Turlington, and many more. Each image reflects the energy, confidence, and style that defined the '80s, with a sophisticated and character-filled gaze.

At a time when contemporary culture is once again inspired by the maximalism and audacity of that decade, Eighties offers a unique opportunity to rediscover its legacy through one of photography's great masters. As Bailey himself says in the prologue: “The eighties turned out to be magic.” This book is a visual journey into that magic.
