 | Heartthrob by Donald F. Reuter
The twentieth century has given us that male phenomenon who, with the wink of an eye and flash of a gleaming smile, can send whole populations into near-hysteria -- the hearthrob. Over the last hundred years the male ideal has shifted through myriad categories, and readers will find them all here in this dazzling, century-spanning array of heart-stopping Laces, from Robert Mitchum and Robert Redford to Matt Damon and Leonardo di Carpio. This lavish photographic celebration is the result of years of combing the finest archives for the best images, many of which have rarely been seen. Personal recollections, written especially for the book by some of the best-known figures in fashion, film, photography, and literature -- including Cindy Crawford, Naomi Campbell, Claudia Schiffer, Tyson Beckford, Isaac Mizrahi, Geoffrey Beene, Gloria Steinem, Helen Gurley Brown, Nancy Friday, Eileen Ford, and Herb Ritts -- explore the allure of the mediagenic male as it has evolved over time AUTHOR: Donald F.
