Man Ray and Fashion

The coffee table book "Man Ray and Fashion" features photographs Man Ray took for leading couturiers such as Paul Poiret, Elsa Schiaparelli and Coco Chanel, and major fashion magazines such as Harper's Bazaar, Vanity Fair and Vogue. With technical ingenuity and humor, Man Ray innovated the way clothing is depicted.

Man Ray's inventive processes and surrealist winks have had a lasting influence on fashion photography and brought fashion and art closer together. Contemporary fashion designers also find inspiration in his work, especially the Belgians with their penchant for surrealism. The book "Man Ray and Fashion," published especially for his exhibition at MOMU in Antwerp, unites Man Ray's iconic photography and artwork with fashion silhouettes from the interwar period and the work of contemporary fashion designers and photographers inspired by his work.

Man Ray (1890-1976) was a highly versatile artist who worked with various media and did not like to be pigeonholed. Fashion as such did not seem to be his particular interest, but making clothes was part of his childhood and photographing fashion played a crucial role throughout his career. The way he portrayed women and their clothes still influences fashion photographers today.
