DAY Corinne (Photographer)

In this picture, from the series that introduced Kate Moss to the world, Corinne Day aimed to capture, "a teenage sexuality which I love. I want to make my images as documentary as possible, an image of life that is real". Day's style rejects everything that fashion photography has traditionally stood for _ glamour, sexiness, sophistication _ by shooting skinny girls in cheap nylon amidst squat-like squalor. Her anti-fashion attitude exemplified the mood of the 1990s. Herself an ex-model, Day discovered her subjects in the street. She launched the career of Kate Moss when the model was just fifteen. Day is credited with starting the trend for pre-pubescent-looking waifs. Vogue editor Alexandra Shulman, however, defended her work as "a celebration of vulnerability and joyousness". In 2011 Gimpel Fils Gallery, London, mounted the exhibition "Corinne Day. The Face", the first solo exhibition of her work since her untimely death in 2010.
