Read MoreOn Friday of this week, the International Center of Photography opens its doors on its impressive triennial global survey of photography and video. This year’s theme is Dress Codes—fashion as social communication expressed in various angles by both established photo-stars (such as Cindy Sherman, Lorna Simpson) and upstarts on the scene (Yto Barrada, Thornston Brinkmann, among others). The show is the grand finale of the ICP’s Year of Fashion series that included Avedon Fashion 1944–2000, Edward Steichen: In High Fashion, The Condé Nast Years 1923–1937, and Weird Beauty: Fashion Photography Now. Dress Codes rounds up the set with very selectively curated sampling of photography and video that express fresh critical views of fashion’s role in society.
