Capturing Over 60 Notable Women in Contemporary Hollywood
"YOUNG HOLLYWOOD" is the second photo book by portrait photographer Claiborne Swanson Frank. The subjects include rising young actresses, directors, producers, screenwriters, and stylists active in Hollywood, such as Isabelle Lucas, Elizabeth Moss, Dakota Johnson, Imogen Poots, and Amber Heard. Inspired by the golden age of Hollywood, the works capture the essence and allure of contemporary rising stars without reservation.
Following the success of the digital project "Kors Collaborations," Michael Kors's first collaboration with Swanson Frank, the brand decided to support this photo book. In addition to Michael Kors's foreword, the book features young stars wearing Michael Kors items. Prior to publication, Michael Kors is also rolling out various initiatives, including exclusive content previews, an online Q&A with Swanson Frank, and the release of a short film directed by Tamara Lawrance.
"Claiborne has not only talent but also shares my vision for the 'glamour' that stems from individuality and confidence. This book embodies everything we look for in a modern woman," commented Michael Kors.
Each portrait is accompanied by a short text transcribed by Genevieve Bahrenburg, featuring a preface by Amy Simes and a conversation between Leslie M.M. Blume and Swanson Frank. After its pre-sale launch on August 22 (Friday) at 10 Michael Kors stores globally, it will also be available through Assouline's distribution channels from September.
