A VERY BRITISH GLAMOUR
2009-10-19One of the great pioneers of fashion photography, and a decisive influence on subsequent generations of fashion photographers, Norman Parkinson is famous for redefining glamour in fashion as something far more spontaneous and modern than it had ever been before him. A lavish portrait of his long career from the 1930s through the 1980s, Louise Baring’s Norman Parkinson: A Very British Glamour is being published by Rizzoli in October 2009. To celebrate the publication of the book, a selection of portraits from the Norman Parkinson archive will be displayed at Somerset House.
