This Harper's Bazaar parody was published in 1988 and is the 12th book by renowned artist Menten. It laughs at how seriously the fashion and beauty industries take themselves. What makes the work especially delightful is its accomplished color photography and imaginative photo-styling. The teddy bears, each unique and apparently made expressly for this volume, are hilarious in poses for fitness workouts, as snooty sophisticates, and as girl-next-door types.
Designer fashions are carefully and faithfully re-created down to the large red bows adorning a black gown featured in the Yves Saint Bearent ad. And the text is an amusing send-up of women's magazines. The article "Create Your Own Den of Love," for example, offers advice for building a "…bearricade between you and stress while learning to enjoy each other's companionship again."
I have two copies, both in pristine condition.
Asking $10 each.
Available for pickup in North Melbourne.
