About the Exhibition
The French term haute couture refers to the highest standards of fashion, where clothing culture intertwines with the visual arts. This connection is particularly evident in fashion photography, where the boundaries between applied and independent artistic practice are becoming increasingly fluid.
At this intersection, a new generation of exceptionally talented Hungarian photographers is making its mark, creating work both for prestigious international brands and for their own artistic projects. The PHOTO COUTURE exhibition, presented for the first time at New York Fashion Week, focuses precisely on this dynamic dialogue, showcasing the outstanding quality and contemporary trends of Hungarian photography.
Artists: Dávid Ajkai, Tamás Dobos, Wanda Martin, Zoltán Tombor and Matti Varga.
Curators: Krisztina Löbl and Lilla Makláry.
The exhibition will remain open until October 3.
