A Place in the Sun collects Slim Aarons's photographs capturing the glamorous lifestyles of some of high society's most prominent people.

"Slim Aarons is known for his dreamy lifestyle photographs of celebrities and socialites in jaw-dropping locations around the world." --Architectural Digest

Since 1940 Slim Aarons has been hard at work, first as a war photographer, then with unprecedented access as a photographer to the rich and famous. In this book, he develops the environmental portrait to the level of art, always showing his subjects in their natural setting, in a circumstance synonymous with their station in life.

Aarons documented a particular world that has vanished. A Place in the Sun is that special glimpse of privilege under a bright and beaming sky, whether on sandy shore, snowy slope, or elegant home where cares are few.

Through 250 stunning color pictures, Aarons provides a veritable Who's Who of high society:

  • Aristotle Onassis with his first wife, Tina, and their children
  • C. Z. Guest at her villa in Palm Beach
  • The Aga Khan at his Sardinian resort
  • Truman Capote in Palm Springs
  • And more!

From Mustique to Monaco, from Aspen to Gstaad, only Aarons can take us on a journey to the most exclusive playgrounds of the rich, inspiring even the most jaded armchair traveler.

Aarons never used a stylist, a makeup artist, or anything but natural light. Since the settings encouraged swimwear, it is astonishing how beautiful these men, women, and children were. There is a shimmering sensuality about this bygone world. Astonishing, too, is the vibrant intensity of the colors.

They don't take photographs like this anymore. But we are lucky that Slim Aarons did!
