Featuring work by every important fashion photographer of the past, alongside those shaping contemporary taste today ? including Richard Avedon, Horst P. Horst, William Klein, Helmut Newton, Guy Bourdin, Steven Meisel, Corinne Day and Juergen Teller, to name a few ? fashion chronicler Eugnie Shinkle reveals illuminating moments in the story of fashion and photography, as she sketches the bigger picture.
