FROM THE BYGONE

In 1911, publisher Lucien Vogel dared photographer Edward Steichen to promote fashion as a fine art in his work. Steichen responded by snapping photos of gowns designed by leading French fashion designer Paul Poiret, hauntingly backlit and shot at inventive angles.

The photographs were published in the April 1911 issue of the magazine Art et Décoration. According to historian Jesse Alexander, the occasion is:

“now considered to be the first ever modern fashion photography shoot,”

The garments were imaged as much for their artistic quality as their formal appearance

In his first years as a photographer, White concentrated on genre subjects like this one, often using young women as his models. Throughout his career, he continued to photograph women, from his mother and members of his wife’s family to well-known actresses of the day, such as Maude Adams. White attempted to imbue women with notions of truth and beauty, a view not uncommon among the photographers known as Pictorialists, who considered the female subject to be the most artistic and spiritual choice in the history of art. Photographs like this one allowed White to experiment with dramatic lighting while simultaneously relating photography to a long tradition of painting, through his use of a female model.
