Product Description

"Sex? What else? Why have my pants got a hole in the front?"Who took 1970's porn esthetic and made it fashion chic? Terry Richardson. Who made the trailer park trendy and the tractor hat de rigueur? Richardson again. Who's equally at home in "Vogue", "Harper's Bazaar", "Purple" and "Vice"? Our boy Terry. Who uses his fashion money to fund an X-rated website? Yes, Richardson. And who can't resist getting his clothes off and jumping in front of his own lens? Well, that would be Terry Richardson as well.Porn stars, supermodels, transsexuals, hillbillies, friends, pets, and celebrities all do for his lens what they'll do for no other. And if anyone ever wonders why they did it, just blame it on Terryworld, where taboos are null and void, and fashion finds sex a perfect fit.

Customer Reviews

Welcome to Terry's horny world
sometimes it is just for fun, just goofing around, sometimes it is a fantasy, but his pics are always raw and edgy!

lovin' it
i first saw this in a bookstore in the le marais area in paris and thought, oh my god i have to have this. it has a lot of great pictures with lots of references to Los Angeles and Southern California. Most of the pictures are pornographic and some are rather disgusting I must admit, but they will amuse you nevertheless.

It is perfect for shocking people. I am loving it!

A coffee table book to give your mother a heart attack
I admire the fact that Terry Richardson uses his little point and shoot camera's and breaks all rules yet still manages to get high paying jobs for Magazines like Vogue, Companies like Gucci etc.

Having seen his web site before it went down, I knew his more shocking stuff, or I thought I did.

This book is full of filth, but it's not particularly good filth. It does not seem clever or have humour; it comes across as dull filth.

I'd love to like the book. It's big, lots of pictures, a good price.

Just a shame about the pictures.

If you want to scare your mothering law off for good, buy it and put it on your coffee table.
