Nathalie Herschdorfer, curator of “Coming into Fashion, a Century of Photography at Condé Nast”, discusses how fashion photography has been developed over 100 years. The exhibition, carefully selected from the archives of Condé Nast (publisher of the legendary Vogue magazine), shows how fashion photography can be both creative and commercial, experimental and popular.
