Legendary photographer Annie Leibovitz's surprising - and surprised - account of her encounters with fashion.
'Looking back at my work, I see that fashion has always been there,' Annie Leibovitz observes in the preface to her new book, Wonderland.
'Fashion plays a part in the scheme of everything, but photography always comes first for me.
The photograph is the most important part.
And photography is so big that it can encompass journalism, portraiture, reportage, family photographs, fashion. . . . My work for Vogue fueled the fire for a kind of photography that I might not otherwise have explored.'
