Celebrate NY Fashion Week with Juergen Teller's handbag "money shots"

Featured spread is reproduced from Juergen Teller: Handbags, the 608-page handbag book to end all handbag books. "I began photographing fashion about thirty years ago and slowly, over the years, the handbags started to creep into my pictures," Teller writes. "Nowadays it seems like in every fashion ad a model is clutching a handbag. I remember when I started working in America they asked me 'Where's the money shot?' I looked at them puzzled. 'Show us the money shot!' they repeated. Here they are, the 'money shots.'"
