CHIC CLICKS

As fashion and fashion photography more frequently appear in museums and galleries, we initiated this exhibition with two aims—to understand the changing relationship between the commercial impetus of fashion photography and the creative, personal motivation of the photographers as artists, and to examine the photographs from a social perspective. The images included in this exhibition raise compelling questions about material values and consumer culture as well as the blurring lines between art and fashion and the effect of fashion photography on trends in the art world.
