Following the success of Icons by Oscar (2016), a new, long-awaited book has been published, in which glamour photographer Oscar Abolafia shines the spotlight on the women that his work has focused on for decades. Since the 1960s, he has photographed countless icons from the worlds of film, music and fashion, capturing both their allure and vulnerability. From Sophia Loren to Cher, from Twiggy to Madonna, and from Audrey Hepburn to Shirley MacLaine, this book brings together intimate and timeless portraits that are among the most memorable in Abolafia’s oeuvre. With his unique access to the glitz and glamour of Hollywood and beyond, he has created an image archive that exposes the hidden world behind fame. A tribute to the women who have shaped our collective memory for decades and a visual legacy from one of the greatest society photographers of his time.
