No fashion, please!

I was reading Vogue,

 when I found a news about an upcoming show at Kunsthalle in Vienna: No fashion, please! The show is curated by Peter Weiermair and consists in famous nude & fashion pictures focused on the relation between body & clothes. A big attention is dedicated to the genderless theme, and so I’m looking forward to see it!

I love photography, fashion, and I’m graduating with a thesis about genderless people. What else? ;)   via: carolina-rimondi

First peek, Truer at Clifford Gallery, twenty one works in ‘A Fine Line: Private Lives for Public View’.  I wIsh I could bring all of you here. Truer has existed most vibrantly online, especially in the way it has been seen, shared, re-blogged and commented on, by my Tumblr community. I’m forever grateful to you all for this. To now see the work in it’s entirety, beautiful printed and installed – after so many times being restricted to a single image – is a moving experience for me.   Clifford GalleryColgate UniversityA Fine Line: Private Lives for Public ViewNovember 11 - December 18 Nov. 16th - Artist talk - 4:30, Opening reception - 6pm Participating Artists: Sophia Wallace, Catherine Opie, Jo Ann Santangelo, Jason Hanasik Curated by: Benae Beamon ‘11, Jamie Bergeron and Linn Underhill
