CITY TRIP

Went down to the city yesterday and saw an amazing exhibition at the ICP (International Center of Photography) on Edward Steichen: In High Fashion:The Condé Nast Years 1923-1937. This was 175 of his photographs of high fashion from that time period. "His crisp, detailed, high-key style that revolutionized fashion photography." They had the first color Vogue cover on display also which was really nice to see compared to magazine covers of today.

The exhibition upstairs "presented the most innovative fashion photography of the last few years, from photographers who draw on a range of influences, including art, sexuality, narrative, digital media, and youth culture."
