Hired to fire the opening shots

Article Abstract:

Fashion photography in magazines attracts advertisers and readers and editors prefer to restrict artistic freedom in favour of business interests. Patrick Demarchelier left 'Vogue' in 1992 to work for 'Harper's Bazaar.' Top photographers attract top models and the influential Bruce Weber and expressionist Peter Lindbergh have also been employed by Liz Tiberis, editor of 'Harper's Bazaar.' Steven Meisel, who creates images for models with his work, remains with 'Vogue.' Teamwork produces the best photography for magazines.

Another Nutter on the Row

Article Abstract:

Fashion designer Richard James opens a shop on Savile Row, London. His suits are more softly structured than traditional Savile Row suits. He has overchecked tweed jackets and male twinsets. Tailor Anthony Hewitt's workshop opposite makes James's made-to-measure suits. In the 1980's James was popular with colourful designs but cash-flow problems restricted him. James does not like a snobbish attitude to clothes but hopes to bring a new generation to Savile Row.
