Her work provides the most in-depth coverage of backstage fashion over the last four decades. In the 1970s and 80s, Lowit was one of the first fashion photographers allowed entr\u00e9e behind the scenes, elevating the snapshot to high art with her candid realism. She has amassed an archive of over 200,000 negatives and color slides taken at hundreds of fashion events in Paris, New York, Milan, and London. Due to her great fascination with what she calls \u201cpeople with magic,\u201d Lowit is our era\u2019s chronicler of the fabulous.<\/p>\n<p>Karl Lagerfeld calls Lowit \u201cfashion\u2019s historian\u2026 a witness to the marriage of vanity and fame.\u201d Whether jet setting to Paris or up until dawn in New York, Lowit reveals the magic and madness beneath the glamour and glitz. In her book\u00a0<em>People: Life After Dark<\/em>, Lowit writes that she developed a \u201cnon-judgmental empathy.\u201d Lagerfeld comments that she \u201coverexposes her subjects while remaining under-exposed.\u201d He calls her \u201ca visual confidant to whom all is revealed.\u201d Lowit never demands a pose \u2013 instead her subjects flirt, coax, beckon and reveal. The camera is a source of pleasure for both Lowit and her subjects.<\/p>\n<p>Lowit\u2019s subjects include Irving Penn, Richard Avedon, and Helmut Newton; the original supermodels Linda Evangelista, Christy Turlington, and Naomi Campbell; designers John Galliano, Karl Lagerfeld, and Yves Saint Laurent; and trendsetters Anna Wintour, Diana Vreeland, Kate Moss, and Andre Leon Talley. Lowit documents the magical transformation of men in makeup and the spectacular pageantry of John Galliano\u2019s decadent clothing in her signature close-up style.<\/p>\n<p>Roxanne Lowit has photographed for publications such as\u00a0<em>Vogue<\/em>,\u00a0<em>Harper\u2019s Bazaar<\/em>,\u00a0<em>Elle<\/em>,<em>Vanity Fair<\/em>, and\u00a0<em>The New York Times<\/em>.
