No-Flash Fashion

Artist and restaurateur Antoni Miralda presents for the first time his 1960s fashion photography from Paris and London in a striking volume.

The boom of the 1960s was a key moment for fashion photography, with the beginning of the supermodels and the arrival of the sensational and radically different Twiggy. Antoni Miralda surprises us with his advanced photographic work, with references to Land Art and the Dusseldorf School of Photography.

Fashion photography occupies an unknown, but important place in Antoni Miralda's career. This book allows us to understand how influential his work was at that time. After settling in Paris, the artist began to collaborate regularly with ELLE magazine between 1964 and 1971, working on contemporary seasonal collections linked to the art world.

Most images at the time showed models in studios, while Miralda took these models out into the street. Faced with the Grand Paris of Haussmann, of museums and imposing cathedrals, Miralda prefers the blind points of historicist urbanism; popular, uncliched places with a great human density.

No-Flash Fashion, with its contemporary design and its references to fashion magazines and archives, presents for the first time a detailed view of the undiscovered work of one of the most versatile and iconic artists of the twentieth century.
