For more than 100 years fashion photography has shaped our generations and opened our minds to the many creatives behind the lens of fashion content and brand campaigns that have stood the test of time. A representation some of the most memorable periods in creative history and still today capturing and inspiring an audience of any age.
To give a little more context of the exhibition here is a bit of a run down …”Many of the legends like Mario Testino, Deborah Turbeville, and Helmut Newton achieved their greatness at the Condé Nast studios in New York, Paris, and London. With unprecedented access to the archives of each city, Coming into Fashion is an exhibition tracking the highlights of this sparkling intersection between photography and fashion.”
“In addition to these images, a selection of vintage couture from The Darnell Collection – Australia’s largest private collection of fashion from the late 1700s to the 20th century – will be on display. A curation of seminal fashion films and documentaries will be screening throughout the exhibition season, and over two days of talks and forums, guests will hear international and Australian industry leaders discuss the past, present, and future of the world of fashion.”
