Riassunto

Groundbreaking fashion photographer Gleb Derujinsky invigorated the fashion industry with his glamorous, exotic, and often unconventional photographs. Gleb Derujinsky’s career as a fashion photographer took hold in the golden age of European haute couture, when Balenciaga and Pierre Balmain were at the top of their game and Yves Saint Laurent and Karl Lagerfeld were designing their first runway shows. Although air travel was still reserved for the happy few, Derujinsky convinced his editors Carmel Snow and Diana Vreeland to send him around the world to photograph beautiful models—like Carmen Dell’Orefice and his future wife, Ruth Neumann—draped in expensive gowns juxtaposed against rough desert dunes or a glittering ocean at sunset. His ideas were revolutionary and they gave rise to the mystique and glamour that is now pervasive in fashion. Derujinsky was the quintessential Renaissance man—photographer, award-winning cinematographer and commercial director, inventor, WWII veteran, world traveler, jewelry designer, musician, ski instructor, Ferrari America race-car driver, and champion glider pilot. His passion for photography started at the tender age of six, by ten, he had built a photo enlarger, and as a teenager, he became the youngest member of the Camera Club of New York. His photographs appeared in major lifestyle magazines and extensively in Harper’s Bazaar from 1950 to 1970. This is the first monograph to celebrate his major contributions to the history of fashion and photography.

"Unsung mid-century genius Gleb Derujinsky finally takes his rightful place among the marquee names of fashion photography." --Elliman Magazine

"Derujinsky photographs were revolutionary and gave rise to the mystique and glamour that are now pervasive in fashion. . . . From 1950-1970 his photographs appeared in Harper's Bazaar, Esquire, Look, Life, Glamour, Town and Country, and The New York Times Magazine. Capturing Fashion: Derujinsky is the first book to celebrate his significant contributions to the history of fashion and photography." --FABRIK Magazine

"The entirety of the landscape, the model, and the fashion come together to inspire readers and observers to muse, interact with, and become part of each photo. Faraway places make for unexpected settings; fabulous cars, boats, ships, planes, and trains provide thrilling backdrops; and fashion is the driving vehicle. Capturing Fashion is a step back in time to the birth and height of high fashion photography, and it will capture you." --Quest Magazine
