Skrebneski’s style

Skrebneski: The First
Fifty Years, by Victor
Skrebneski, Edition
Stemmile, 192 pages, $115

IN 1949, a 20-year-
old Victor
Skrebneski pho-
tographed his sister.
He was exploring his
new interest in photogra-
phy and she was a conve-
nient subject. This photo
appears in his latest col-
lection of this mainstay of
fashion photography, and
in that 50-year-old image
you can sense the ele-
ments of the style
Skrebneski would devel-
op in the years to follow.

He has photographed the stars of both the

done work for the biggest names in fashion,

SKREBNESKI

THE FIRST FIFTY YEARS

such as Givenchy, Chanel,
Mikimoto and Saks Fifth
Avenue. For 27 years he
worked with — Estée
Lauder, helping establish
the firm's image.

Within this collection are
many examples of his
noteworthy fashion work
and fine portraiture, but
there are also more per-
sonal images. These all
combine to offer a sense
of Skrebneski’s style, that
often undeniable aspect
that sets one artist's work
apart from the rest. Here
we see his photographs
take on a life of their own,
as his subjects move and
avirl, sparkling with ener-

gy.
A wonderful celebration of 50 vears of cre-

ativity.
