Selling Dreams: Floor Talk
Look beyond the skirts and frills.
Overview
Once describing his collaboration with Vogue as "selling dreams, not clothes" photographer Irving Penn's quote provided the inspiration of the Auckland Museum's current exhibition Selling Dreams: One Hundred Years of Fashion Photography, which showcases more than 60 images of international fashion photography from the past 100 years.
The collection charts the evolution of the medium from its beginnings in fine art to its concurrent rise with illustrated magazines in post-war times to the introduction of commercial interests in more recent decades.
The floor talk will take you beyond the the petticoats and frills and into the deeper artistic and societal meanings behind some of the most iconic fashion photography of the past 100 years.
