High Society captures the jet-setting rich and famous of American society in the 1960s and 1970s – whether at play in the swimming pools of Malibu or the ski slopes of Verbier, photographer Slim Aarons captured the beautiful and the wealthy. In a career that spanned six decades, Aarons photographed the Kennedy family, Humphrey Bogart, Marilyn Monroe, Grace Kelly, and other elite jet-setters, often working without stylists or elaborate lighting, preferring instead to photograph celebrities in their own clothes and own surroundings. Renewed interest in his work led to two recent books, and many admirers, particularly among fashion designers such as Paul Smith and Tom Ford.

Originally a WWII photographer (where he was awarded a Purple Heart), Aarons moved to California after the war, where he began photographing celebrities. It was there that he shot his most famous photograph, The Kings of Hollywood, showing Clark Gable, Van Heflin, Gary Cooper, and Jimmy Stewart shooting the breeze.

» Brighton Lights 31

Our new programme for thelatest.tv sees Juice FM presenter Guy Lloyd investigate all manner of things. He starts off with chart-topping band The Hoosiers who were mega-successful a couple of years ago, were dropped by their major label and have become fashionably independent. Their chart-topping album cost £1 million to record, their new album £100 and we reckon it's just as good. We have exclusive footage of this new record. Guy does crazy-golfing with them, checks out their sound-check and witnesses the fans' adoration of the band at Audio in Brighton. In future shows Guy will be doing waxing, Dot Cotton, air guitar and needs your suggestions for more crazy things (or people) to do. Send to bill@thelatest.co.uk

We have 11 special programmes, featuring artists in their own houses. So here’s your chance to go ‘through the keyhole’ so to speak as we visit the artists in their own environment.
