Fashion in the Mirror at The Photographers' Gallery


Fashion in the Mirror: Self-Reflection in Fashion Photography
18 July - 14 Sept 2008
Photographers including; Gregoire Alexandre (pic), Richard Avedon,
 Melvin Sokolsky, Bert Stern, etc...

They published a nice catalogue too. its thinness, its matt-ness created by the fact that it's not conceptualized or stylized as being printed on a glossy paper, and selection of the works. 


Penn and Avedon were putted slightly beside, which was a bit shame... but nice show.
