The exhibition brings together incisive portraits and editorial images that show how style communicates identity, from the studio’s sculpted light to the spontaneity of the street. Icons such as Audrey Hepburn and Kate Moss appear as touchstones, reflecting the enduring dialogue between fashion and the people who wear it.

Holden Luntz Gallery presents Turning Heads: Style & Style Makers, a curated look at fashion photography’s power to define taste, character, and the culture that surrounds them. The exhibition brings together incisive portraits and editorial images that show how style communicates identity, from the studio’s sculpted light to the spontaneity of the street. Icons such as Audrey Hepburn and Kate Moss appear as touchstones, reflecting the enduring dialogue between fashion and the people who wear it.

Across the exhibition, photographers with distinct visual languages create a sustained conversation on elegance and attitude. Horst P. Horst gives glamour commanding poise and immaculate control of tone. Lillian Bassman translates couture into painterly gesture. Arthur Elgort carries fashion into motion and personality, while Albert Watson distills it into graphic clarity. Georges Dambier brings mid-century chic to life with lyrical scenes. Barbara Cole stages immersive, contemporary meditations on silhouette and atmosphere. Lawrence Schiller and Terry O’Neill move between cinema and celebrity. Slim Aarons and Harry Benson frame lifestyle and society as living theaters of taste. Kali’s chromatic portraits speak to identity and self-presentation with playful confidence.

Turning Heads considers fashion photography as both a record of changing ideals and a catalyst for them. The pictures gather craft and intuition, couture and character, to show how style travels from the atelier to the street and into the rituals of everyday life. Seen together, these works invite viewers to notice the choices that make an image unforgettable, and to recognize how the most resonant fashion photographs continue to set the tone today.
