George Michael hated having his photo taken, which makes this stunning collection of images spanning over 20 years such an unusual and beautiful tribute to one of the most consummate performers the music world has ever seen.<br/><br/>Brian Aris first met George when he shot him and his Wham! colleague Andrew Ridgeley in 1984. He gained George's trust and subsequently took some of the most iconic shots of the star that provide an illuminating document of a complex character.<br/><br/>With text documenting George's life and Brian's memories of his sessions and meetings with the star, together with iconic images, contact sheets and previously unseen images, this is a beautiful tribute to pop's most likeable and talented singer.

Catherine Legrand, who has spent over twenty years travelling and researching the subject, has a deep knowledge of the ancient techniques, patterns and clothing traditions that characterize ethnic textile design, knowledge that she deploys to great effect in seven chapters exploring the production of Indigo textiles throughout America, China, India, Africa, Central Asia, Japan and Laos/Vietnam, and the men and women behind them. This profusely illustrated photographic survey features more than 500 photographs, faithfully laid out to reproduce Catherine's actual travel notebooks, and is completed by specially commissioned drawings that provide close-ups on patterns and clothes.
