"Capri Tan," captured by Slim Aarons in January 1968 on a sunlit beach in Capri, Italy, embodies the effortless elegance of the Mediterranean jet-set lifestyle. This iconic photograph features a kneeling sunbather proudly displaying her rings and pendant, her bronzed skin glowing against the azure backdrop of the Tyrrhenian Sea, with the island’s rugged cliffs and vibrant ambiance enhancing the scene. The un-staged composition, showcasing the subject's poised yet relaxed demeanor, reflects the glamour and leisure of 1960s high society, evoking a timeless allure that continues to inspire those drawn to the sophistication of coastal luxury.
Slim Aarons (1916–2006), born George Allen Aarons, rose from humble origins and World War II combat photography to become a celebrated chronicler of the elite, vowing post-war to photograph only "attractive people doing attractive things in attractive places," with his works gracing magazines like Town & Country and now preserved in the Getty Images archive.
