Selling Dreams: One Hundred Years of Fashion Photography

Overview

Just a portrait of someone in a dress or something more? Selling Dreams: One Hundred Years of Fashion Photography brings together an iconic collection of fashion images through the ages courtesy of the Victoria and Albert Museum.

An elegant tale of contemporary society told through advertisements and fashion shoots, Selling Dreams is a cultural snapshot which portrays the creative and technical innovations in photography over the past century and the dramatic shifts in women’s roles throughout the twentieth century.
