I recently visited the Norton Museum of Art in West Palm Beach, Florida to view the Nicola Erni Collection of fashion photography. The exhibit High Fashion & Street Style featured more than 250 photographs by renowned artists. Some of the photographers include: Richard Avedon, Horst P. Horst, Vivian Maier and many more.
This debut exhibit features rare vintage prints from the 1930s to today. Photographer Norman Parkinson captured Wanda and Ostriches (above) for British Vogue in South Africa in 1951.
Jerry Schatzberg shot this photo, below, of Betsy Pickering on Wall Street for US Vogue in 1958.
There are plenty of modern photos as well including this one below by Tommy Ton printed in 2014. Note the Louis Vuitton handbag, the snazzy boots and the linked bracelets. It’s a great outfit for 2023.
Fashion photography is as beautiful as the clothing.
