Aprašymas

CLAD is the first book wholly dedicated to Jackie Nickerson's fashion photography, and defined by her distinctive, feminist vision.

Nickerson has always photographed women for who they are, not what they ought to be; indeed regardless of her subject's gender, her goal is to express their self-identity, never glossy fantasy. In 400 pages and nearly as many images, this comprehensive volume captures Nickerson's fascination for clothing, both as object and act, as well as her interest in texture and costume. "I think of clothing as a kind of architecture and part of my job is to find the right environment for it," she says; often these environments are outside, shaped by changing rhythms of light and a sense of narrative (sometimes theatrical, nearly always open-ended). Nickerson has worked for some of the world's leading luxury brands and magazines including Louis Vuitton, Hermès, Dior, Vogue and Vanity Fair, and yet her fashion photography maintains an anti-commercial stance, the conviction that dressing and dressing up are less about clothes and more about the selves they help us to discover.
