Compiling fashion advertisements from the past 100 years, En Vogue shows how fashion reveals the aspirations of its era Advertising creates dream worlds, yet always simultaneously bears witness to its era.
Both these tendencies are exemplified in fashion posters.
Moving beyond the latest modish trends and beauty ideals, fashion posters reflect moral codes and social conditions.
They are lifestyle propositions; they tell stories, seduce and shock.
Playing with con.
