Fashion Statements presents an ‘archaeological’ view of the best fashion photography over the last two decades, offering a unique perspective on fashion history. Over two hundred images by sixty-two of the world’s best photographers display recent cultural forces to the full, from the rebellious energy and poetry of punk and the post-modern and modernist variants of 1980s glamour, to high-tech and futurist aesthetics and the way in which fashion has increasingly become allied to fine art.
