George Hoyningen-Huene: Aristocratic Visionary of Fashion Photography - From Vogue to Harper’s Bazaar

Huene was born in 1900, into an aristocratic family in St. Petersburg, Russia. It was through the connection of his mother and sister that Huene was able to secure work making fashion sketches for the French editions of Vogue. By Huene’s early twenties, he began to work as an illustrator and later a photographer for Vogue— establishing himself as the Chief of Photography for French Vogue by 1925. From the beginning, Huene’s sitters and models “came from the glamorous worlds of society and the theater. Huene became one of fashion and society’s great chroniclers, working first for Paris, Vogue, and then for Harper’s Bazaar, New York.” (John Esten, Contemporary Photography). In 1931, Hoyningen-Huene first met Horst P. Horst, who later became his model, collaborator, and partner, as well as a contributing photographer to French and American Vogue. “

The PhotoGallery is pleased to present an Estate stamped platinum fashion photograph by George Hoyningen-Huene, an influential figure in the early world of fashion photography.
