Horst: Photographer of Style
‘Fashion is an expression of the times. Elegance is something else again.’ Horst, 1984
We are thrilled that V&AAF supported this retrospective on the work of Horst P. Horst. After an extraordinary sixty-year career, the German-American fashion photographer now ranks alongside Irving Penn and Richard Avedon as one of the pre-eminent fashion and portrait photographers of the 20th century.
Horst: Photographer of Style ran from September 6, 2014 – January 4, 2015
