"Perhaps the strangest thing about the fashion photographer Pamela Hanson’s retrospective book “The 90s” is how much smiling goes on inside it.Naomi Campbell wears a blond wig and flashes her pearly whites on a plush sofa at the Waldorf Astoria in New York. Charlotte Rampling smiles while smoking a cigarette in the dressing room of a Jil Sander boutique in Paris. Carré Otis grins beside a dark Porsche outside an old house Ms. Hanson rented in Sag Harbor, N.Y." — NY Times"The pages of Pamela Hanson: The 90s (Rizzoli) are full of gorgeous images of equally gorgeous women—Christy Turlington, Veronica Webb, Yasmeen Ghauri, Naomi Campbell, Cordula Reyes, Nikki Taylor, Nadja Auermann, Claudia Schiffer, Chandra North, Kirsty Hume, Trish Goff, Kristen McMenamy, and Milla Jovovich, who graces the cover—in the throes of living their best lives joyfully and un-self-consciously in front of her camera." — Vogue"In Pamela Hanson: The '90s (Rizzoli), the photographer compiles 300 of her images, including unpublished outtakes and candid snapshots, offering a nostalgic time capsule of Supermodel-era Paris from a female perspective." — L'Officiel USA"Leafing through this album was like poring over beloved relics from my fashion-magazine-loving youth." — Naomi Fry, The New Yorker"With her book The ’90s...Hanson cracks open her archives to revisit the decade that transformed not only her groundbreaking career but fashion media writ large...Pamela Hanson Presents a Love Letter to Fashion’s Defining Decade." — W Magazine"...the 360-page tome is Hanson’s first major release in two decades and a long-awaited celebration of her signature style: intimate, playful and vibrantly feminine." — Hamptons Magazine"Just as the Jurassic was the best period for dinosaurs, the ‘90s were the best era for supermodels. Don’t bother arguing with facts. This new book of photos by Pamela Hanson from said period (the ‘90s, not the Jurassic) only serves to further reinforce the status of that Golden Age of looking beautiful in front of cameras. Book of the day!" — Arcana Books"Supermodels, high heels, big jewelry, bigger hair—we’re in the grip of 90s nostalgia, and Pamela Hanson’s photographs celebrate the best of a charmed life." — Airmail.com"A nostalgic yet strikingly fresh time capsule, this volume revisits Pamela Hanson’s most iconic fashion imagery from the 1990s alongside never-before-seen candid outtakes. Known for her vibrant, documentary-style photography and distinctly feminine gaze, Hanson captures youth, spontaneity, and intimacy in frames that defined an era. Supermodels like Christy Turlington, Kristen McMenamy, Linda Evangelista, and Eva Herzigová appear radiant in textured, light-filled images that feel as immediate today as they did then. Her first major publication in two decades, it celebrates the decade’s adventurous spirit with unmistakable allure." — Indulge"Hanson first made a name for herself in that decade by snapping candid photos of her friends in the Paris fashion world, bringing her carefree aesthetic to a buttoned-up industry. Capturing and celebrating “an essence of femininity” is how the New York—based lenswoman...sums up her approach." — Bal Harbour Magazine
