JOHN GALLIANO (1960-) is one of the most influential fashion designers of our time. Born in Gibraltar, he grew up in London and launched his own label before becoming chief designer of France's haute couture flagship, Christian Dior, in Paris.
Lisa Fonssagrives: Her image appeared on the cover of many
magazines during the 1930s, 1940s and 1950s. She worked with top
fashion photographers including George Hoyningen-Huene, Man Ray, Horst,
Erwin Blumenfeld, George Platt Lynes, Richard Avedon, and Edgar de
Evia.
The first image in the book depicts a woman builder making repairs to
the roof of Berlin's town hall. Balanced on a ladder high atop the
city, this young woman physically intervenes in the urban built
environment with her hands and tools. A dense and vibrant urban
landscape unfolds beneath her. This extraordinary photograph, taken in
1910, succinctly captures the phenomenon of brave new vistas appearing
before women. As part of a series that documented women in male
professions, the image associated the ascent of women to new
occupations with the vertical rise of Berlin, linking female modernity
directly to that of the city itself.

Richard Avedon (1923-2004) revolutionized fashion photography starting in the post-World War II era and redefined the role of the fashion photographer. Anticipating many of the cultural cross-fertilizations that have occurred between high art, commercial art, fashion, advertising, and pop culture in the last twenty years, he created spirited, imaginative photographs that showed fashion and the modern woman in a new light.
One can't help but admire his iconoclastic stance in shaking up the chilly, static formulas that had been dominated by Europeans for years, injecting new stylistic innovations that would revolutionize fashion photography for years to come. By the 1950's his work was so influential he was the most imitated fashion photographer in the world.

John
Galliano has created the most spectacular fashion shows of our time.
Since his 1984 degree collection, Les Incroyables, which metamorphosed
his London art school into a French Revolutionary street scene, he has
transported his privileged audiences to more exotic and sartorially
blessed places than they could possibly have imagined or experienced.

Since i have spent a lot of time collecting movie stills, lobby cards,
postcards and old tobacco cards of silent movie actors and actresses i
have a pretty good idea of what the silent movie actresses looked like
and what the style was of the clothes they wore. I have some antique 1920's dresses i bought at Vintage Fashion shows.
Here is a black and white picture of me,jazzgirl1920s,standing by a 1920's car. I had this picture taken in black and white because i was trying to look like a silent movie actress from the 1920s:

ONCE UPON A TIME by Marina Cicogna
until 14 November 2009
is proud to announce its show ONCE UPON A TIME, an exhibition of
photographs by Marina Cicogna, sponsored by Fiat. The images capture a moment in time in the sixties
when Europe was the playground for the rich and famous. It includes legendary names such as Rock
Hudson, Greta Garbo, Brigitte Bardot, David Niven, Audrey Hepburn, Catherine Deneuve, Jane Fonda,
Princess Margaret, Onassis, Valentino, Niarchos, Cecil Beaton and many more.
Marina Cicogna was born in Rome, the daughter of Count Cesare Cicogna, from an artisocratic Milanese
family, and Anna Maria Volpi di Misurata, whose father, one of the most powerful men in Italy, created the
Venice Film Festival. Marina grew up to become one of Italy's most celebrated film producers, with films
such as 'Once Upon A Time In The West' (Sergio Leone), Brother Sun, Sister Moon (Franco Zeffirelli),
the Oscar winning 'Investigation Of A Citizen Above Suspicion' (Elio Petri), the Palme D'Or winning
'Working Class Goes To Heaven' (Elio Petri), 'The Seduction of Mimi' (Lina Werimuller), 'Teorema'
and 'Medea' (Pier Paolo Pasolini), and many others.
In the sixties, the young Marina was very much part of the jet set, friend of the glamorous people whom she
photographed without restraints. 85 of these pictures, lost in drawers and old albums, have now been
compiled for her book 'Scritti e Scatti' (Writings and Images) which contains the portraits and their
captions. A selection of these images are featured in the 'Once Upon A Time' show.
Marina Cicogna said: "What I am trying to do, is find through the pictures I took, places and faces that
don't exist anymore, testimony to a time where all that was extraordinary seemed natural and eternal."

Cody Ross of Priestess NYC
Name: Cody Ross
Age: 31
Occupation: Fashion Designer, PRIESTESS NYC
1. What does style mean to you?
Style is all about inner-subjective expression--the outward expression of
the fantasies and glamour that feed our dreams and reflect our sense of
life.
2. Describe yourself in one sentence?
A hungry, freaky energetic eccentric with a blond mowhawk.
3. What first inspired you to want to work in the fashion industry?
I love crazy art and have a penchant for volatility and change. While the
world is changing all the time and volatility is exploding all around us,
fashion seems far more non-linear and the magnitude of change is greater
and more dynamic. I'm attracted to fashion because of its unpredictable
and dynamic nature; I love fashion because designing new stuff requires
thinking from multiple perspectives. Fashion forces me to incorporate a
worldview that is nuanced and challenged--and forces me to embrace
'non-linearity' as a philosophy.
4. How do you want people to feel when they wear your clothes?
Different, authentic and cool.
5. Who do you design for?
A quick-witted and individualized girl who is a little outré and quirky.
She obsesses over fit and style, likes weird art and reads PONYTAIL! She's
modern and complex, has tons of confidence and leads many lives in one.
6. What other designers do you admire?
1. Bernhard Willhelm. For his ingenious pop references, his use of toysand
video games to trash and freaky-minimalism, he has a swashbucklingapproach
to design, hands-down.
2. Jeremy Scott. He is King of exaggeration and visual-razzmatazz. I
lovehis satirical and tong-and-cheek approach, especially his new stuff.
3. Rick Owens. For his subversive, sartorial style that is raw andrefined,
haunted and haute. I know he's a super-star but he seems toalways operate
on the fringe. His goth-androgyny is weird and cool.
4. Walter Van Beirendonck. For his audacious
shock-and-awe,fetish-fantasies, kaleidoscopic color-ways, crazy materials
and totalrejection of mainstream stuff. He's the maverick risk-taker --
and alwayshas been.
5. Marjan Pejoski/KTZ. Because he's the master of unisex and
conveyshappy-absurdity in all his stuff.
7. Where do you see your label in five years time?
I see Priestess NYC with a bigger international presence, probably doing
more stuff in Asia. Continued growth is definitely an imperative as I
continue to strive to rethink the parameters and determinants of the
industry/market. I hope that the label will be known for its creative
output with a focus on authorship and commerce and always challenging
conventional notions of authenticity.
8. What inspires you?
Integrity, conviction, courage. . .and my friends and fam.
9. Are you all work no play?
I work hard. . . And play hard too.
10. How do you take time out?
I love reading philosophy and mathematics and have recently dusted off
Henri Poincaré's cool book, Science and Hypothesis. I'm also obsessed with
Benoît Mandelbrot and his work on fractal geometry and randomness. It's
great recreational reading and really helps to inform my thinking on
everything from physics and markets to architecture and fashion.
11. What is your must-have item for the season?
R O S S M E N U E Z designs a really cool label here in NYC called SALVOR
PROJECTS (www.salvorprojects.com). His limited edition printed/fluro
high-top velcro shoes are a must-have item!
12. Whats next?
I'm working on a few collaborations with artists/other designers and
focusing a lot more on developing directional unisex pieces. Stay tuned .
