ToiletMiles PaperAldridge (Toiletpaper)

“In his acid-colored images of lascivious lips, impossibly glossed models and hallucinogenic still lives…Miles Aldridge is plainly heir to some of the 20th century’s enduring pop culture visionaries.” ―Skye Sherwin, Art Review
Following the success of ToiletMartin PaperParr and ToiletAlex PaperPrager, ToiletMiles PaperAldridge is the third magazine collaboration from Toiletpaper duo Maurizio Cattelan and Pierpaolo Ferrari. British photographer Miles Aldridge (born 1964) has developed an editorial style that is both couture and chromatic but also surreal. He is influenced by the films of Federico Fellini and David Lynch and the photography of Richard Avedon, as well as the album covers and book designs created by his father, Alan Aldridge. Miles began his career in fashion photography shooting covers for W magazine, and his work has subsequently been featured in Time, The Face, the New Yorker and Vogue Italia. He has also shot campaigns for designers such as Yves Saint Laurent, Karl Lagerfeld and Giorgio Armani. One of Aldridge’s own inspirations, David Lynch, once said of his work: “Miles sees a color-coordinated, graphically pure, hard-edged reality.” This latest issue of Toiletpaper sequences a selection of Aldridge’s glamorous and elaborate mise-en-scène images in a palette of vibrant acidic hues.
