Honoring Fashionable Fathers

Love manifests differently for everyone—through embraces, smiles, or home-cooked meals and a game of catch. For acclaimed photographer Claiborne Swanson Frank, love reveals itself through the power of her lens, capturing moments that become timeless treasures. Her latest work transforms these captured moments into something extraordinary with the release of Father and Child, a stunning visual narrative published by Assouline.

This new title celebrates the profound bond between fathers and their children, featuring intimate portraits of influential fathers from around the world. To mark this significant publication, Swanson Frank joined Brunello Cucinelli chief executive officer Riccardo Stefanelli  and hosted an elegant dinner and book signing at the Academy Mansion on New York’s Upper East Side, and at Casa Cucinelli in Los Angeles. The celebration drew notable figures featured in the book, including Carolina Herrera's creative director Wes Gordon, award-winning designer Alfredo Paredes, and polo player and model Nacho Figueras.

With Father and Child, Swanson Frank reveals that some of love’s most profound expressions are found not in words, but in the quiet intimacy of a moment held still.
