Chic Clicks Is The First Publication Addressing The Conflict Between Artistic Claim And Commercial Reality In Fashion Photography. 40 Renowned Photographers Present Free, Unpublished Works As Well As Commissions Published In Fashion Magazines; Five Essays Discuss Fashion Photography In Its Cultural And Social Significance. Chic Clicks Both Features Private, Experimental Shots By Photographers Who Made Their Names With Fashion Photographs, And Fashion Pictures By Photographers Who First Became Known For Their Artistic Work And, As A Consequence, Received Commissions From Fashion Magazines And Firms. The Results – Amazing Contrasts As Well As Fascinating Parallels – Once More Question The Hierarchy Of High And Popular Culture. Does Fashion Photography In Magazines Today Have The Same Cultural Impact And Significance As Photographs On The Wall Of A Museum? Does The Representation Of The Human Figure In Fashion Photography Offer Clichés Or Progressive Interpretations Of Our Sexuality? Which Picture Can Presently Be Considered “Free”? Chic Clicks Raises These Questions By Means Of An Impressively Provocative Imagery.
