Some descriptive elements:

"These girls aren’t the ones next door. Fashion and fetishism in an imaginary world where femininity is queen. Ellen von Unwerth was a top model before the term was invented, and she knows what it’s like to photograph pretty women. Today she is widely recognized as one of the most original and accomplished fashion photographers, and she pays homage in Fräulein to the most beautiful women in the world. This celebration of the sexiest women of our era includes Claudia Schiffer, Kate Moss, Vanessa Paradis, Britney Spears, Eva Mendes, Lindsay Lohan, Dita von Teese, Adriana Lima, Carla Bruni, Eva Green, Christina Aguilera, Monica Bellucci, and many more. Alternating effortlessly between color and immaculate black and white, von Unwerth’s art is synonymous with erotism, romance, fetishism, kitschy humor, decadence, and pure joie de vivre. Whether photographed nude or in lingerie with a sparkling smile on the lips, her subjects are never treated as objects. Some reveal their personal fantasies; others remain forbidden, suggesting we have just entered a secret garden. Never have fashion and imagination been so enchantingly intertwined. These photographs were taken over the last 15 years, and many are still unpublished. Already published by TASCHEN in a limited collector’s edition—and today available in this luxurious, sturdy edition!"
