System Magazine- Issue #24

Fashion has always been deeply invested in the task of seeing, and being seen which is why System chose to shift its attention towards fashion photography.

At the heart of this economy of attention are the fashion photographers themselves. Their field of expertise can be genuinely transformative, a powerful asset for designers and brands. Yet fashion photography’s role, practice and status are naturally evolving with the times, and its rapport with the future will of course be shaped by technology and economics as much as identity and taste. With this in mind, System has spent the past months speaking with a range of fashion photographers to hear their personal stories and reflections on their work. 

Among them, Juergen Teller, Inez & Vinoodh, Carlijn Jacobs, David Sims, Nadia Lee Cohen, Luis Alberto Rodriguez, Malick Bodian, Marili Andre, Zhong Lin, Nick Knight & Simon Foxton, the Sorrenti family, Tyrone Lebon, Angela Hill… Different voices, generations, contexts and creative expressions, presented side by side.
