Inspired by Mr. Penn:
Accessories with a Graphic Edge
Curator and critic John Szarkowski detected in the photographs of Irving Penn “a taste for the stringent, the attenuated, the ascetic, the austere”—a rigorous simplicity that was magnified when embedded in the hedonistic pages of Vogue. The clarity and elegance of Penn’s still life works inspire our focus on accessories distinguished by pure forms, graphic lines, and rich materials.
