FASHION BACKWARD

This historical look at fashion photography, from 1900 to 1998, taken from the archives of "The New Millennium," provides snapshots of the evolution of fashion on film, from the end of the age of "illustration" to the early "society photographs." These photos captured the social elite dressed in their own duds, as well as the modern reign of glamorous supermodels clothed by famous designers. Lively text captures the essence of major turning points in the development of the genre. Accompanying photographs tell a story all their own of the changes that have transpired in style and in the approach to depicting it for an increasingly global audience. The piece includes thought-provoking notions about the power that comes from the combination of pretty faces and talent behind the lens.
