Exhibition In C/O Berlin: Zeitlos Schön - 100 Jahre Modefotografie von Man Ray bis Mario Testino

 

 

Yesterday was the opening of the exhibition

Zeitlos schön

100 Jahre Modefotografie von Man Ray bis Mario Testino

(translation: timeless beautiful

100 years of fashion photography from Man Ray to Mario Testino),

 

which will take place from the 18th of August to the 28th of October 2012 in the C/O Berlin.

The German description says:

Der Condé Nast Verlag hat erstmals seine Archive in New York, Paris, London und Mailand geöffnet und Einblicke in eine Fotosammlung höchsten Ranges gewährt. Die Ausstellung gibt einen repräsentativen Überblick über das Genre und zeichnet die Entwicklung der Modefotografie nach – von den klassischen Bildkompositionen der Gründungsväter wie Edward Steichen und George Hoyningen-Huene über die experimentelle Fotografie von Erwin Blumenfeld und Irving Penn, der Sexualisierung und des Voyerismus von Helmut Newton, der Cool Elegance von Peter Lindbergh bis hin zu neuesten Arbeiten von Mario Testino und Tim Walker. Es zeigt nicht nur Modefotografien, sondern auch Verlagsgeschichte und Etablierung eines Mediums und dessen Wandlungen. In der Ausstellung sind zudem Werke von Cecil Beaton, Man Ray, Diane Arbus, Horst P. Horst, William Klein, Sarah Moon, Albert Watson, Herb Ritts, Bruce Weber, Corinne Day und weiteren Fotografen vertreten.

The curator Nathalie Herschdorfer chose an essence from 100 years of fashion photography from the Condé Nast archives, which are opened for the first time to grant you a view on their photography collection. The exhibition contains over 150 vintage prints together with original magazines, which have never been presented before.

The C/O Berlin always houses interesting and good photography exhibition and I am expecting a lot. Hopefully next week I will have the time to form an opinion by having a look at those prints.

Dancing Through The History Fashion

100 YEARS / STYLE / EAST LONDON from Ad Eight creatieve communicatie on Vimeo.

For the opening of the biggest shopping mall inside a city in europe, which was opened this year, in East London, this commercial has been created. It shows sequential a pair of dancers, who are wearing, while dancing to different kind of music from the changing decades, varying clothes from 100 years of fashion during 100 seconds.

In my opinion, this is an interesting and creative idea and has been carried out well.

Clueless About Fashion

 

This is so genius!

But where are the other parts?

Favourite Photographer: David LaChapelle

Today I discovered this part of a David LaChapelle documentary. He is a photographer, who takes picture in a surrealistic and popart like style. I totally adore his photos and use of colours.
He also takes fashion pictures, so I searched for the pictures I saw in an exhibition some years ago and these are the ones he took for vogue:

School's Cool... NOT!

I am sorry for the lack of posts these days, but I am not in the mood and don't have the time to use the Internet. On one hand I need my time to learn and then write exams and spend the rest with my boyf. But on the other hand I think about my "obsession" about clothes and fashion. I wouldn't go so far to say that dressing nice or in "my style" is wrong or something bad, but I wonder, if I just think about it too much and forget other things, which are also important, like my future after making my A-Level. Besides I only spend to much time thinking about buying clothes and calculating with money, I have and don't have. I can't explain, what is my problem right now, so I just leave it like that. But I hope, you get an impression, why I don't post. So I hope, at least you have a nice and fashionable life! I will post only sporadic in the next weeks. Sorry!

By the way, I took the last picture in the Martin Gropius Bau. I just find it funny, that there were these two words "ost"(east) and "west" in the mirrors, just like the wall, which has divided berlin in exactly these parts onces. I wondered if they thought about it, while hanging those mirrors. What do you think?
