This is the first trade hardcover edition (2011) after Taschen's limited collector's edition published in 2009! At 10 x 14 inches, this edition is more than big enough at a fraction of the price.

From the publisher:

Decadence, kitsch humor, and sexual intrigue meet in Ellen von Umwerth's homage to the world's most beautiful female icons. Whether in cheeky lingerie or nothing but a million-dollar smile, models from Dita Von Teese to Britney Spears share their personal fantasies or reveal a guarded facet of their femininity. These images effortlessly combine fashion and fantasy like never before.

Ellen von Unwerth was a supermodel before the term was invented, so she knows a thing or two about photographing beautiful women. Now one of the world's most original and successful fashion photographers, she pays homage to the world's most delectable females in Fräulein. This celebration of our era's sexiest female icons includes Claudia Schiffer, Kate Moss, Vanessa Paradis, Britney Spears, Eva Mendes, Lindsay Lohan, Dita von Teese, Adriana Lima, Carla Bruni, Eva Green, Christina Aguilera, Monica Bellucci and dozens more.

Switching effortlessly between color and immaculate black and white, von Unwerth's photography revels in sexual intrigue, femininity, romance, fetishism, kitsch humor, decadence and sheer joie de vivre. Whether nude or in lingerie and a dazzling smile, her subjects are never objectified. Some flaunt personal fantasies; others are guarded, suggesting that we have stumbled into a secret world. Fashion and fantasy were never so enchantingly combined. These images were shot over the last 15 years and many are previously unpublished.

Fully trilingual. Text in English, German, French.
