While fashion tends to pay highest fidelity to aesthetics, at least one fashion photography festival seeks to focus on the common ground between ethics and aesthetics. Photo Vogue festival is in its sixth year, and the theme, Reframing History underscores “projects that have reclaimed an alternative, different way of telling a tale, from projects that reframes omitted, forgotten, and overlooked historical figures to the ones that reclaim an idea of beauty that has been diminished, stereotyped or exoticized.”
