Like its predecessors "Once Upon a Time" and "A Place in the Sun," "Poolside with Slim Aarons" offers images of jet-setters and the rich, of beautiful, glittering people living the glamorous life. But this new collection of stunning photographs of the rich and wealthy doing attractive things in their favorite playgrounds has a new twist.
The protagonist are swimming pools and everything that goes with them - beautiful, tanned bodies, well-oiled skin, bikini-clad women, yachts, summer cocktails, elaborate buffets, spectacular locations and, above all, fun. Poolside with Slim Aarons is not so much a Whos Who of society, aristocracy and celebrities - although C. Z. Guest, Lily Pulitzer, Cheryl Tiegs, Peter Beard and many who have appeared in the previous books are present here - but it is about leisure and how the rich make use of it. This is a more intimate look into very private lives to which Slim Aarons gained unprecedented access in the 1950s, 1960s, 1970s and 1980s. From the Caribbean to Italy and from Mexico to Monaco, Poolside with Slim Aarons takes the reader into an exclusive club where taste, style, luxury and grandeur reign supreme.
