“The images and articles presented in Vogue reflected the interests of the modern woman and influenced her choices regarding where to shop and what to wear”
~ George Hoyningen-Huene
“Huene was a genius. The master of us all”
~ Richard Avedon
Huene’s work is going through a much deserved re-appraisal right now with the publication of Susanna Brown’s beautiful new book “George Hoyningen-Huene : Photography, Fashion, Film” published by our friends Thames and Hudson.
Huene became one of fashion and society’s great chroniclers working first for Paris Vogue where he became chief of Photography in 1925 and then later for Harper’s Bazaar in New York. He had an innate sense of style and lighting, often copied but rarely equalled. Avedon knew whereof he spoke.
