May the Circle Remain Unbroken

May the Circle Remain Unbroken gathers previously unpublished early photographs by Corinne Day, whose unflinching, snapshot-style documentation of friends, lovers, and youth culture reshaped fashion photography in the 1990s, including her controversial 1993 Vogue images of a teenage Kate Moss.

Collated by her husband Mark Szaszy after Day's death in 2010, the book presents personal, unguarded pictures of friends dressing up, lounging in worn-down flats, and swimming in lakes, images that blur the line between documentary and staged photography and capture the post-rave counterculture Day moved through before her fashion career. Published as a cloth-bound hardcover in a limited edition of 1000, with essays by Charlotte Cotton and Glenn O'Brien and cover typography by Pablo Ferro, it accompanied an exhibition of the same title at Gimpel Fils Gallery, London.

Day (1962-2010) became known for pioneering so-called grunge fashion photography before a period of exile from mainstream fashion media, later returning to acclaim with work collected and exhibited internationally. This was her first book published after her death, revisiting the personal, unpolished images that first defined her eye.
