vintage fashion photography

I can’t believe it’s already been one month since Design for Mankind’s e-zine last inspired us all! As a fashion stylist, I’ve seen my fair share of the talent rainbow of photographers…and Erin’s dashingly fabulous taste featured great photographers, including my favorite of hers – 14 year old Chrissie White, whose portfolio exudes of stellar composition, lighting, and my favorite…vintage inspiration. I swear I was still doodling with Crayola at 14, and this young lady is making beautiful photos!

Fashion Photography

Images by more than forty of the most innovative photographers working in the fashion industry today will be on view in Weird Beauty: Fashion Photography Now, at the International Center of Photography from January 16 through May 3, 2009. To highlight the original context of these photographs, this exhibition will feature hundreds of tear sheets, along with approximately twenty original photographic prints, and online media. The inclusion of such a variety of presentational formats will serve to illustrate the diversity that is characteristic of current fashion imagery.

Although the ultimate purpose of the fashion photograph is to promote high-end style and beauty products, the resulting works often emerge as some of the most imaginative and multifaceted images currently being produced. Assisted by a team of stylists and editors, the photographer carefully selects the components of each story—often drawing on influences from art history, literature, digital media, youth culture, history, and current events. Evidence of these sources can be seen in local and international publications alike, adjusted to relate to the specific location, age, or gender of the target audience.Weird Beauty will present photographs derived from both widely recognized and lesser known magazines, including: 10 (UK), Another (UK), Doingbird (AU), Kid’s Wear (DE), New York Times T Magazine (US), Numéro (FR), Pop (UK), Purple Fashion (FR), V (US), Vogue (FR/IT/US), W (US), and others.
