"Exploring the
realm between art and commerce,
"Fashion Photography" displays expressive poses,
daring couture, and the aura of glamour captured
by the great fashion image-makers of the past
hundred years."
Photography and
fashion have been inextricably linked since the
early 1900s, when fashion magazines rocketed to
popularity. In "Fashion Photography," on view in
the Trustman Galleries, you can explore fashion
photography of the past hundred years by the
field's most significant image-makers.
SFD is proud that
alumna and photographer Marie Cosindas is
featured among the collection of world famous
fashion photographers in this exhibit. You can see more of
her work through the Robert Klein Gallery at 38
Newbury Street.
The exhibit is on
display thru March 25th.

After a brief hiatus Boston Fashion Week is back, and
better than ever! The week has been scheduled for September 7-14, 2007. So, mark your calendars now
and SAVE THE DATES!
SFD
recently hosted the launch with over four dozen industry
leaders representing many different fashion disciplines
including design, beauty, photography, modeling,
education, retail, production, music and technology to
name a few.
Organizers are moving forward with an exciting new plan
that offers something for everyone. Exciting runway
shows will of course be an expected part of the week but
innovative new programming will also include fashion
films, red carpet premieres, shopping opportunities,
fashion art installations and informative educational
events.
Technology will also play a major role. A completely
renovated official Boston Fashion Week website will be
launched later this month. The redesign will allow
greater access and interactivity.

OPPOSITES ATTRACT |
|
At the School of
Fashion Design, one of the projects in Daniel Faucher's draping class is the Black & White.
Using the principles of positive/negative --
white to enhance and black to detract --
students create a specific silhouette or desired
effect in the most flattering lines to the human
form.
A selection of these
creations is now on exhibit in the A Gallery
featuring student designers Lanice Caine,
Linda Elaz, Sofia Gagua, Jiminie Hayward,
Tedi Hughes
& Shirley Straface. |

ART OF FASHION
|
|
 |
|
"a hit...its beauty
deceptively guised in its simplicity."
— The New York Times |
|
Paris is the undisputed center of the fashion world, and "Fashion Show: Paris Collections 2006" demonstrates why
fashion remains a fine art. Featuring runway garments
from the spring and fall/winter collections of ten
influential couturiers and designers, the exhibition
explores the ideas and inspirations motivating Paris
fashion today, and why, in an age of globalization and
instantaneous communication, this venerable city remains
the fashion capital.
The designers highlighted in this exhibition—Azzedine
Alaia, Hussein Chalayan, Karl Lagerfeld for
Chanel, John
Galliano for Christian Dior, Christian Lacroix,
Maison
Martin Margiela, Olivier Theyskens for Rochas,
Valentino, Viktor & Rolf, and Yohji Yamamoto—bring a
unique and clear vision to their work, while still
maintaining the high level of craftsmanship for which
Paris is justly famous.
SFD students recently
explored the installation as part of their studies. We
encourage everyone to experience these works up close
and in person to gain a greater appreciation for the art
of fashion.
This exhibit is on display thru March 25
