W - Stories

W magazine is renowned for its avant-garde fashion stories, those elaborate confections of magic and mystery that have inspired and captivated readers for more than two decades. This volume gathers 10 of the most remarkable stories, each in its entirety, along with never-before-seen outtakes. Each story was the centerpiece of the issue it appeared in, and together they ride the razor''s edge between outrageously provocative and enchanting, from the bizarre (Steven Klein''s ''One for the Ages'') to the alien (Tim Walker''s ''Planet Tilda'') and whimsical (Paolo Roversi''s ''Carnevale''). These and other stories by Klein, Walker, and Roversi, as well as Steven Meisel, Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott, and Alex Prager, are featured. A special code inside the book provides access to short films shot on the sets of the featured stories by Meisel, Walker, Klein, and Prager.
