Hugo found himself captivated by sitters with unconventional and atypical looks, particularly before they underwent the machinations of wardrobe, makeup and hair. Drawn to this uniqueness and recalling the sense of not-belonging that is part of the intense experience of youth, Hugo's invitation to the models was: \"simply present yourself.\" The resulting photographs embrace vulnerability and frailty as much as they do the agency and idealism of their subjects. Hugo's typological study questions fashion's commodification of youth and the \"outsider,\" while embracing the beauty of peculiarity worn with acute awareness and the paradox of craving both difference and conformity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Pieter Hugo\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 8417975756\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9788417975753\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Rm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 12.30h x 9.50w x 0.60d","brand":"Pieter Hugo","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43945827205375,"sku":"9788417975753","price":65.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_5106b32e-9781-49a9-974a-8b099ca86c85.jpg?v=1681509982","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/pieter-hugo-pieter-hugo-9788417975753","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
