“Art & Fashion” Exhibit

Fashion is finally gaining a foothold within the fine arts community. Just look at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, whose annual Costume Institute exhibitions are always among its most visited of the year. In our own backyard, Rosenbaum Contemporary in Boca Raton is showcasing the work of two fashion photographers in its latest special exhibit. On display from September 6 to October 6, “Art & Fashion” features photos by Simon Procter and Greg Lotus, two men who use their artistic acumen to manipulate images—with very different results. While Procter is best known for pioneering a wide-angle technique that conveys the grand scale of fashion shows, Lotus has earned a reputation for his more intimate, frequently black-and-white editorial shots for major magazines. In coordination with “Art & Fashion,” South Florida International Fashion Week will stage a runway presentation at Rosenbaum Contemporary on September 26 beginning at 6:30 p.m.
