Photo Vogue Festival presents The Female Gaze

Milan's agenda for this November has already been full of exhibitions, events and meetings. Now, right before the month's end, there's another one, among the most interesting. We're talking about the first edition of Photo Vogue Festival, which opened yesterday and will stay with us until November 26, in a whirl of conferences, meetings and exhibitions.

In the frame of the festival, all dedicated to photography, we find The Female Gaze, which offers a very compelling overview of the theme of beauty throughout fashion photography as seen by female artists.

There will be some works by real fashion photography milestones, such as Nan Goldin, Sarah Moon, Cindy Sherman and Vanessa Beecroft, but also young talents who've already earned a respectable place in this field, already considered the voice of our generation, like Petra Collins, Maisie Cousins ​​and Arvida Bystrom. We're talking about photographers who have forever changed the way we see the female body, sensuality and sensitivity, as well as the role of women artists in a world inevitably dominated the male hegemony. From Donna Trope's bizarre portraits to Ellen von Unwerth's magnetic erotic shots, passing by Liz Collins capturing a crying Gisele Bundchen, the show is a real hymn to fashion photography made by women, for women.
