About Slim Aarons: Slim Aarons (1916–2006) was the preeminent chronicler of high society, capturing the world’s elite in sun-drenched luxury from the 1950s to the 1990s. His work immortalized Hollywood icons, European aristocrats, and global socialites, shaping the aesthetic of aspirational living. Each Estate Edition print is an official release from the Slim Aarons Archive, selected for its exceptional quality and historical significance. Aarons began his career as a combat photographer in World War II, earning a Purple Heart. Reflecting on that experience, he famously remarked that the only beach worth landing on was one adorned with beautiful people basking in the sun. This philosophy defined his signature aesthetic: casually glamorous scenes that continue to influence modern fashion, art, and celebrity photography. His work is synonymous with luxury and timeless elegance, capturing icons such as the Kennedy family, Humphrey Bogart, Marilyn Monroe, and Grace Kelly in the most desirable locations, from Beverly Hills to Capri to the French Riviera. Though his photographs resemble high-fashion editorials, he worked without stylists or artificial lighting, preserving authenticity by capturing his subjects in their natural surroundings.
