Norman Parkinson, Fashion Photography 1948-1968
The retrospective retraces 20 years of fashion photography through the gaze of Norman Parkinson along with four other internationally celebrated photographers: Milton H. Greene, Terence Donovan, Terry O’Neill and Jerry Schatzberg. Curated by Cristina Carrillo de Albornoz and organized by Fondazione Bisazza with Iconic Images, the show portrays not only the spirit of change sweeping the times - 1948-1968 - but also a new style of photography and a way of representing women, in fashion and portraits.
The two decades, 1948-1968, that forever changed the history of fashion, unfolded in two distinct phases: if the postwar period and the 1950s mark the rebirth of high fashion and the rise of master couturiers like Dior and Chanel, the fashions of the 1960s, influenced by social changes wrought by the new generations, make a clean break with the past and propel gifted, ground-breaking designers like Yves Saint Laurent and Mary Quant into the spotlight.

British photographer Norman Parkinson - 1913-1990 - was one of the pioneers of 20th century fashion photography. Parks, as he was affectionately known, pushed beyond the traditional bounds of fashion photography in his work for some of the leading magazines – Harper’s Bazaar, Queen and Vogue. He photographed models outside the studio, in everyday settings, on streets, beaches and in exotic destinations, always injecting a strong dose of British humor into his work.
