Description
At the end of the 1980s, Voguing suddenly entered the mainstream when featured in Madonna's "Vogue" video, Malcolm McClaren's "Deep in Vogue" single, and the 1990 documentary Paris is Burning won the Grand Jury Prize at the Sundance Film Festival.
Photographer Chantal Regnault spent many years capturing the emergent underground gay ballroom scene in Harlem at the end of the 1980s, from where Voguing emerged. A riot of fashion, image, poly-sexuality, and a radical subversion of style, sexuality, and race is vividly captured in the hundreds of amazing, never before seen, photographs in this deluxe book.
Voguing and the House Ballroom Scene of New York 1989-92 also features interviews with key figures from the movement, essays, flyers, and documents from this momentous era.
Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
Editor "TENz" praises the book as a "visual riot of fashion, polysexuality and subversive style," and an extraordinary document on sexuality and race. Mark Holgate from Vogue highlights Regnault's emotive and detailed photography that returns Madonna's phrase to its origins, showing how fashion transcended neighbourhood boundaries.
