Erwin Blumenfeld

An introduction to the work of the celebrated fashion photographer.



An experimenter and innovator, Erwin Blumenfeld (1897-1969) produced an extensive body of work including portraits and nudes, celebrity portraiture and advertising campaigns - but it is his fashion photography for which he is best known. Having fled Paris during WorldWar II, Blumenfeld forged a stellar path in New York, where he worked for Harper's Bazaar, American Vogue, Helena Rubinstein, L'Oréal and Elizabeth Arden.
