Shawn Waldron's Slim Aarons: The Essential Collection is a comprehensive retrospective of the legendary photographer who documented "attractive people doing attractive things in attractive places." Through stunning images of high society, resorts, and glamorous lifestyles from the 1950s-1980s, the book captures an era of wealth and leisure. The collection becomes both aspirational fantasy and historical document, proving that Aarons created an enduring vision of the good life.

WHY WE PICKED IT: Because Aarons photographed wealth and privilege with an eye that made it look effortless and beautiful. This collection reminds us that aspirational photography has always existed, and that Aarons' vision of glamour continues to influence how we imagine luxury.
