Pamela Hanson. The ’90s

Pamela Hanson: The ’90s revisits the decade that cemented the photographer’s reputation for an intimate, sun-lit, and joyfully feminine gaze. Drawn from fashion editorials, personal archives, and never-before-seen outtakes, the images track Hanson’s collaborations with the supermodels and muses of the era—faces like Christy Turlington, Kristen McMenamy, Stephanie Seymour, and Carla Bruni—at work and at play. Rather than staging aloof perfection, Hanson favors candid energy: girlfriends laughing poolside, hair whipping in convertible wind, the golden light of late afternoons, and moments between poses when self-possession softens into ease. Thoughtful sequencing turns the book into a time capsule of 1990s fashion culture, where minimalism, grunge, and Riviera glam coexisted. Short texts reflect on context and craft, from natural light and texture to the collaborative trust that lets spontaneity bloom. Printed at generous scale with elegant design, the volume honors the photographer’s distinctive sensibility—documentary in spirit, editorial in polish—and shows how her images helped define a decade’s idea of beauty: adventurous, relaxed, and emotionally present. For fashion lovers and photography students, it’s both inspiration and history, capturing the spark that turns assignment imagery into enduring style memory.
