THE NEXT GREAT FASHION IMAGE MAKERS

This exhibition is the result of the first Global Multimedia Open Call, endorsed by all the editions of Vogue worldwide to identify talented fashion image makers whose vision pushes the boundaries of the current fashion landscape, and to give them the opportunity to work within the Condé Nast Global Network.

The exhibition, featuring 40 artists from 24 countries, highlights the next generation of socially conscious fashion image makers, artists who are a driving force for change and whose work can engage in a dialogue with different genres, from documentary to art. Fashion has become a shared language and one of the primary tools to build identity and Vogue, through its photography and stories, has always tackled its intersection with sociopolitical issues by raising questions, embracing innovation, and even influencing change.

A slideshow of the work of the 100 most exciting fashion visual makers from 40 countries, selected from the submissions to the Global Open Call “The Next Great Fashion Image Makers”, will also be presented in PhotoVogue Fashion 100, a video installation at BASE Milano. The range across the artists, the geographic representation as well as the extraordinary creative variety reflects in a powerful way the industry-leading role of PhotoVogue.

“Vogue’s photography has always shown our audience the wider world through the lens of fashion. It’s a thrill to see this spirit reflected in the images from PhotoVogue’s first global open call. These photographs are exciting, boundary-pushing, beautiful, and a reminder of how much creativity there is around the world, and how much more is always waiting to be discovered.”
