Get dressed up to celebrate Dressing Up: Fashion Week NYC, the newest book by world renowned photographer Lee Friedlander.

On February 5th, at 5:30pm, the Yale University Art Gallery is hosting a celebration to launch this new book, which chronicles the artist’s 2006 journey behind the scenes at New York Fashion Week. The program begins with a moderated panel discussion featuring photographer Susannah Benjamin, model Camille Chambers, and art critic John Pilson.  A festive reception follows, including a runway soundtrack and a photo booth where you can take your turn as a model. 

The event is open to the general public, so put on your fancy clothes and join us this Thursday! But in the meantime, check out some of Lee Friedlander’s New York Fashion Week photographs.
