Anne Menke will sign her new book Tuesday at Arcana Books on The Arts in Culver City from 5 to 7 p.m.

Menke has traveled the world on assignment for the likes of Vogue, Elle, Marie Claire, Conde Nast Traveler – usually in search of the perfect environment to shoot a fashion spread. On her travels, she has discovered that these environments themselves are the origins of much of the fashion we see on the runways today and has compiled an incredible record of people and places with that in mind. Texts by colleague luminaries Tommy Hilfiger, Julia Chaplin and Andrew Niccol, in addition to the author’s own introduction explain where fashion meets culture in ethnic populations in Latin America, Europe, Asia and North America, in this unique, sensitive, and insightful work that itself is the perfect intersection of art and fashion photography.

If you cannot attend but would like to purchase a signed copy (or two) of See the World Beautiful, please write or call us in advance.
