ARCHEOLOGY OF ELEGANCE 1980 – 2000

Sinopsis del producto

Over the last twenty years, fashion photography has emerged as one of culture´s core mediums. Fashion State-ments presents an «archeological» view of the best fashion photography over the last two decades, unearthing the various different attitudes and offering a unique perspective on fashion history. Over two hundred images by sixty-two of the world´s best photographers serve to visualize the qualities and forms of recent cultural torces, from the rebellious energy and poetry of punk and the post-modern and Modernist variants of1980´s glamour, to the high-tech and futurist aesthetic and the way in which fashion has increasingly becorne allied to fine art. Ulf Poschardt believes that fashion photography has freed itself from the shackles of utility and can now lay claim tobeing a discrete art. This collection seems to bear his theory out: the médium has indeed become the message.
