Photography and fashion have been entwined in history for many years. Vogue put the first photographic image on their cover in 1950, and ever since, fashion designers have worked with photographers to convey their aesthetic and communicate their vision.
Christopher Kane's appreciation of photography started when he was very young and the photographic image has been an influence on the designer since the beginning of his career. We asked Christopher to curate a selection of images from our May Photographs auction which were exhibited in his London store to show how photography relates to his own designs.
Genevieve Janvrin, Phillips's head of Photographs in Europe, sat down with Christopher to talk about the works he chose from the sale, how photography informs his design process and how his love of the medium all started with Joseph Szabo.
