Over the last 50 years, W has been the unparalleled laboratory for the world s top-tier photographers and writers, providing a platform for publishing their most ambitious and creative works. The photos and essays presented here will cover all categories including fashion, design, art, celebrity, film, and interiors. Historic and ground-breaking stories include the controversial shoot by Steven Meisel, 'A Sexual Revolution' featuring male and female models (including Jessica Stam and Karen Elson) depicted in gender-bending styles and provocative poses; photographer Steven Klein s notorious Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt photos entitled 'Domestic Bliss.' Tom Ford s racy shoot and accompanying article on sexuality in fashion; Bruce Weber s tribute to New Orleans; Hallucinatory photographs of Tilda Swinton by photographer Tim Walker; artist Alex de Corta photos of interiors by Jacques Grange. Many have allowed W into their homes for the magazine s 'W House Tours' feature and include Marc Jacobs, Sir Evelyn Rothschild, Imelda Marcos, and Dua Lipa. This book will appeal to the culturally-curious with a great appreciation for photography, design, art, architecture, the stories behind things, and the people that make them unique.

Reviews
"Founded in 1972, W magazine has been capturing the cultural zeitgeist for 50 years. To celebrate the milestone, this volume enlists the magazine's many friends to curate a collection of W's most iconic moments. With gorgeous shots, thought-provoking extracts, and a whole chapter dedicated to Kate Moss, it's a likely hit with the fashion conscious and followers of art and culture." -NEW YORK MAGAZINE

"Allow us, for a moment, to toot our own horn. For the past five decades, as the fashion and publishing industries have been dramatically transformed, W has held firm on its essential mission: larger-than-life storytelling. That doesn't mean, of course, that the magazine hasn't evolved over time. Fifty Years Fifty Stories, a new tome published by Rizzoli, out this month, tracks key moments in the publication's history." -W MAGAZINE

"W Magazine has given cutting edge, fashion-forward photography, design, and cultural history a home in its pages and on its iconic covers since 1972. Now a glitzy new book gathers 50 favorites featuring talent radiating from both sides of the lens - from Richard Prince working out his appropriation game to Steven Meisel taking the mickey out of advertising tropes - plus zeitgeisty captures of the 70's party scene and the supermodel canon." -LA WEEKLY
