Today beauty lies in the authenticity to express oneself, to be unique. The street and the internet - the places where individuals become stars - are the new inspiring sources which also influence contemporary photography.
“The idea that a man
has of beauty is expressed in all of his behaviour, the
way he folds or starches his suits, in the way the refines or extends his gestures; in time, it even seeps into the
features of his face.” Charles Baudelaire

Wolfgang Tillmans shows how fashion is moving from international catwalks into new territories. His works are products of a society where “the public is private“ and “the private
is public”.
