Elegance: The Seeberger Brothers and the Birth of Fashion Photographyby Sylvie Aubenas
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Modern fashion photography was born when three brothers, Parisian postcard photographers, shifted their lenses to the upper echelon of French society in the early twentieth century. As impromptu portraits of beautiful women in inimitable finery at racecourses, resorts, and caf s began to appear in magazines, courant designers such as Chanel, Herm s, and Madeleine Vionnet rushed to send their models to posh watering holes to be photographed with the beau monde. The first-ever showcase of 300 rich black and white S eberger images, this luxe collection is a must-have for fashionistas, Francophiles, and vintage clothing enthusiasts. "Elegance" recalls a bygone era of glamour, and illuminates the candid beginnings of a now highly stylized photographic form. Book News Annotation:The Séeberger brothers went to racetracks, beach resorts, ski
resorts, and fashionable locations in Paris taking photographs of
lady's fashion (and some men's too), then selling their work to
magazines. Though they kept the camera's focus carefully on their
finery--dresses, shoes, bags, hats, furs, and feathers--they also
captured the rich at play, with the names of the famous recorded for
each photo. This oversize volume (9.25x11") presents a full catalog
of the images in plates of excellent quality, and accompanied by an
introductory essay on the Séebergers and the fashion world of their
day. First published in French, in 2006.
