Girls are the fresh image of an age. They appear here through the eyes of American photographer Pamela Hanson who captures their subtle mix of innocence and seduction, awareness and insolence - the make-up of today's younger generation. To accompany the photographs, writers, designers, singers, actors, journalists and movie directors give their definition of what "girls" represent for them today. It includes, among many others quotes by Fabien Baron, Kate Betts, Manolo Blahnik, Griffin Dunne, Arthur Elgort, Richard Gere, Donna Karan, Kelly Klein, Heidi Klum, Carey Lowell, Polly Mellen, Susan Minot, Julianne Moore, Peter Morton, Paloma Picasso, Oscar de la Renta, Mario Testino, Christy Turlington, Amber Valletta, and Yohji Yamamoto.
