Grunge Before Fashiontoast

Don't get me wrong, I love Rumi's style on Fashiontoast, and the sloppy edge that has invaded Calfornia cool. However, we can only hope to imitate a trend that was meant to be original. The photographs are from Grunge written by Thurston Moore (of Sonic Youth) and photographed by Michael Lavine.

Should Fashion Photography Be Considered Art?

I believe it can. Art critics dismiss fashion photography for its commercial appeal and familiarity. Yet, photography as a medium has been exhausted. Fashion photography focuses on the fundamentals of light and framing. Plus, it's nice to look at. Some of my favorites are Irving Penn, Steven Meisel, Herb Ritts, Annie Leibovitz, and Ryan McGinley.
