About
At the end of the 1980s, society photographer Dafydd Jones began a new life in New York. He had been hired byVanity Fairto attend the most talked-about parties in the city and soon found himself descending into a world of human tableaux, ladies who lunch, princesses in powder rooms and dachshunds scrapping over canaps. Camera at the ready, Jones quickly filled the society pages of the illustrious magazine, snapping the likes of Leona Helmsley, Donald Trump, Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell and Imelda Marcos as they celebrated, mourned and unravelled in the bright lights. During the day, he captured the city streets and the ordinary citizens grounded in the real world. In these pages, the author ofEngland: The Last Hurrahreveals the story of New York, the highs and the lows, as the 90s unfolded in front of his expert lens.
