Edward Steichen (1879-1973) es uno de los fotógrafos más prolíficos, influyentes y polémicos del siglo XX. Esta es la primera exposición completa del trabajo realizado por Steichen para la industria de la moda y el glamour. Durante el periodo de entreguerras, este conocido artista, famoso como pintor y como fotografo a ambos lados del Atlantico desde 1900, revoluciono la fotografia de moda desde su puesto de jefe de fotografia de las influyentes y reconocidas publicaciones de Conde Nast Vogue y Vanity Fair. Tambien conocido como "el fotografo de retratos mas famoso del mundo", entre 1923 y 1937 Steichen produjo una obra que alcanza en su conjunto una brillantez fuera de lo comun, dedicando su excepcional talento y su prodigiosa energia a la puesta en escena y la exaltacion de la cultura contemporanea y sus mas destacados representantes del mundo de la politica, la literatura, el deporte, la danza, el teatro y sobre todo, la alta costura. Sus imagenes para las revistas de Conde Nast son algunas de las creaciones mas asombrosas de la fotografia del siglo XX.

En Zara o en Gucci, en los noticieros de la tarde y sobre las marquesinas, en las páginas financieras de los periódicos o en las escaleras del festival de Cannes, la moda -ultramoderna, hiperlujosa o solamente accesible- es, a partir de ahora, un asunto de dinero y poder al mismo tiempo que una cuestion de estilo y de aspecto. La moda se ha convertido en un elegante campo de batalla donde se pelea a golpe de contratacion y traspaso de diseñadores, donde las finanzas se convierten en glamour y donde los rostros de las ciudades se transforman: en las avenidas elegantes, Dior y Vuitton se codean con Gap y Kookai. ¿De donde surgen las tendencias? ¿Como fabrican Zara y sus colegas sus ''top'' de moda a precios asequibles? ¿Por que la microfalda de la pasarela no resulta ser tan corta en la tienda? ¿Que es lo que empuja a las estrellas a servir de ''reclamo'' para las marcas de lujo? La autora arrastra al lector a los bastidores de las grandes casas de moda, asi como a los entresijos de las marcas mas accesibles. Jugarretas, rumores, pequeños trucos y grandes estrellas: esta es la cronica de un medio en ebullicion.
