About this title

About the Author:

Victor Skrebneski has photographed for the most prestigious fashion houses including Chanel, Givenchy, and Christian Dior; department stores such as Marshall Fields and Saks Fifth Avenue; and a wide range of magazines, including Town and Country, Interview, and Vogue. Skrebneski: The First Fifty Years was published in conjunction with a retrospective at Chicago’s Museum of Contemporary Photography in 1999. Hubert de Givenchy founded the House of Givenchy in 1952. The world-famous couturier is renowned for dressing Audrey Hepburn off-screen and in such classic films as Sabrina and Breakfast at Tiffany’s—and for his host of celebrity clients, including Jackie Kennedy, perennially on fashion’s "best-dressed" list.

Review:

"...an essential for any beauty photographer or photo historian."
~American Photo

"Five distinctly beautiful models were chosen for this elegant portfolio that also gives readers an in-depth look at decades of vintage fashion, from Valentino to Oscar de la Renta." ~Bal Harbour

“Looking at these long ago Great Gasby-ish standards of American beauty, style, and luxury, one can appreciate the aspirational experience that was evoked in both the viewers and the models. Beauty such as this is eternal.” ~Range Finder Magazine
