Fashion is a genre of the photographic that is too easily dismissed because it challenges core tenants of the medium's modernist identity, even for photographers themselves. The process is inherently collaborative, rather than the creation of a sole artist. It is highly subjective and crafted, rather than a recording of the world. Although museum exhibition catalogs and fashion magazines themselves have published broad surveys of the category, there has yet to be a critical approach that attends to fashion photography's business practices or theorizes its role in visual culture. What insight could be brought to such photographs through archival working documents surrounding their making and closer attention to their original context of the magazine page? To answer this, this dissertation studies the role played by American fashion magazines in professionalizing fashion photography and bringing relatively avant-garde imagery to a mass audience. Specifically, it examines the networks of people who created and published editorial photographs at Harper's Bazaar and Vogue between 1929, when Vogue invested significantly in photographic technology and modernist design and 1968, when the genre began experiencing a fundamental transformation away from its earlier idioms. This window in the middle of the twentieth century served as a cultural watershed for the role of fashion imagery in American history. In addition to outlining the collaborative production of fashion photographs, each chapter focuses on a period of stylistic and technological change, including the shift from illustration to black-and-white photography, the introduction of color photography reproduction, and the impact of small-format cameras on the location and look of fashion photographs. Each shift was driven by magazine producers' restless search for novelty through images and language that would surprise and delight their readers with every issue, giving form to the notion that fashion is constant change.
