Neil Kirk in Vogue: The Supermodel Years is a unique retrospective of 1980s and ’90s fashion, as captured by one of the most exceptional photographers of the era. 

A prominent and prolific fashion photographer for over four decades, Neil Kirk’s sensational body of work has left a lasting impression on designers, editors and catwalk models across the fashion industry. A frequent contributor to Vogue US, British, Italia and Deutsch throughout the ’80s and ’90s, his photographs helped propel some of the biggest fashion names into the public sphere during an era when supermodels were becoming A-list celebrities and fashion designers were pioneering an innovative take on modern luxury.

With a foreword by Bryan Ferry and contributions from Helena Christensen, Claudia Schiffer, Manolo Blahnik, Sam McKnight, Stephen Jones, Yasmin Le Bon, Christian Lacroix and Jasper Conran among others, this is every fashion lover’s dream in one beautifully illustrated, must-have volume.

Featuring Salma Hayek, Carla Bruni, Cindy Crawford, Yasmeen Ghauri, Valentino Garavani, Vivienne Westwood, Malcom McLaren, Ewan McGregor, Kate Winslet, Jerry Hall, Linda Evangelista, Rachel Williams, Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Robin Wright and many, many more.

"""Vivienne Kirk has now co-authored with writer and curator Iain R. Webb Neil Kirk in Vogue, The Supermodel Years, ACC Art Books a wonderfully kinetic, joyful, and gorgeous tribute to Kirk’s work for just about every edition of Vogue. It’s impossible to imagine the wrangling of getting all of these images in one book, snappily art directed by Rita Sowins. Yet there they are, thanks to former publishing executive Liz Rees-Jones, who along with Kirk and Webb miracle worked it into existence."" ""For much of this book, Kirk’s models, true to the times, are majorly coiffured, majorly bejeweled, and majorly power-suited. Yet in his images they carried all that off as if they were in jeans and tees, like his test Polaroid of a black-clad, wasp-waisted Cindy Crawford confidently leaping into the frame with all the physical control of an athlete. His models were forever go-go-going."" ""book is a labor of love, for sure, but also a testament of love. Webb adores Kirk’s early work; Vivienne Kirk mentions how her husband’s lesser-known menswear shoots, which vibrate with color, and peopled by male models who look like they’d be at home in 1930s Hollywood, are some of her favourites because they’re much lesser known.""" - Vogue.com
"Treat your coffee table to this exquisite tome, a testimony to beauty and joie de vivre. " - Lisa Armstrong
"There was a time when fashion was a fantasy, and Neil Kirk was one of the photographers who knew how to capture it. Neil Kirk in Vogue: The Supermodel Years, published by ACC Art Books, brings together for the first time his photographic archive from his collaborations with international editions of Vogue, revealing a body of work that deserves its place in fashion history." - Vogue Greece
"""In fashion, archives are rarely static. They evolve—reshaped by the cultural lens of the present. With Neil Kirk in Vogue: The Supermodel Years, published by ACC Art Books, a body of work once synonymous with glossy excess is reintroduced as something far more consequential: a visual blueprint for how fashion learned to globalize itself."" ""As a physical artifact, Neil Kirk in Vogue: The Supermodel Years is intentionally indulgent. Large-format imagery, high production values, and layered commentary transform it into more than a retrospective; it becomes a collectible. In an increasingly digital landscape, that tangibility carries strategic weight."" ""Luxury publishing has quietly re-emerged as a branding tool, allowing companies to extend their narratives beyond seasonal cycles. For ACC Art Books, this release reinforces its role as both archivist and curator—bridging the gap between documentation and storytelling.""" - Page Reverie
