Blow Me a Kiss

As the acclaimed, best-selling author of The White T, The Blue Jean, and The Wedding Album, Alice Harris curated a stunning collection of photographs by the world’s most groundbreaking artists. In Blow Me a Kiss, she explores our fascination with lips print, the luscious pout of supermodel’s, even lipstick’s power to transform drab into fab. Spanning more than 100 years, the work of Francesco Scavullo, David LaChapelle, Andy Warhol, Erwin Blumenfeld, Roy Lichtenstein, Yelena Yemchuk, Man Ray, Elliott Erwitt, and several other visual virtuosos depict lips of every shape and size in nearly every kind of setting. These images have graced Vogue, LIFE, and Harper’s Bazaar, adorned album covers and movie posters, and appeared in museums and galleries all across the globe.
