Our discussion will explore and evaluate the contribution of the autochrome to the representation of fashion in this period: whether it challenges and alters stereotypical preconceptions of the colour of dress, its impact on fashion photography, and its place in the so-called ‘chromatic modernity’ of the early twentieth century.

The images are journalistic in their attempt to present truth rather than agenda and artistic in the way they consider subjects and storytelling: visually, rather than editorially.
