La mode practique

While I’m still planning my Toronto Fashion Week schedule, here’s one event that I’m attending for sure:

The Art of Fashion Photography

DrakeSalon
The Drake Hotel
1150 Queen Street West
October 21, 6-8pm, Free

“Join arts writer Betty Ann Jordan, celebrated fashion photographer George Whiteside and Drake curator Mia Nielsen in cultured conversation on the fine art of collecting fashion photography.

Learn about the history and culture of fashion photography, an art form that exists in symbiotic relationship with trend-setting designers and the fashion and lifestyle magazines (ranging from Vogue to Dazed and Confused) that promote them.

Consider iconic works by photographers Richard Avedon, John Rawlings, Lilian Bassman, Nick Knight and many more. Learn about Conde Nast’s vast trove of photos from Vogue and Vanity Fair, now accessible to collectors online.”
