The best photography from the archives of Condé Nast New York, Paris, Milan and London, were selected resulting in 150 prints of the most original work, and the greatest fashion photographers since 1918. Editors and art directors of magazines Vogue , Glamour and more recently W , have been consistently revealing tremendous talent, hence playing a key role in the renewal of fashion photography.
