Something to look forward to next fall (I realize this is a while away!) when getting ready for the fall fashion season is an upcoming photography exhibit put on at the AGO entitled “Edward Steichen: In High Fashion, the Condé Nast Years, 1923–1937.”

Edward Steichen is considered one of the most influential photographers of the twentieth century. He was an American photographer who was born in Bivange, Luxembourg then immigrated to the United States in 1881. He was a photographer, painter, and art gallery and museum curator.

Steichen became the chief photographer for Vogue and Vanity Fair who shaped the look of celebrity and fashion photography in the 20’s and 30’s which later revolutionized Fashion photography when he photographed the creations of iconic designers of the time, including Chanel, Lanvin, Poiret, and Patou.
The exhibition will showcase more than 200 photographs taken by Edward Steichen. Mark those calendars, the exhibition will run from October 3, 2009 – January 3, 2010 and am sure it will not disappoint.
