Extreme Beauty in Vogue

In March this year a photography exhibition in Milan took a close look at the many faces of beauty through a series of iconic images shot for American Vogue. In conjunction with Dolce & Gabbana which celebrated the launch of its debut makeup collection, "Extreme Beauty in Vogue," was an extraordinary exhibition created and curated by American Vogue with design and art direction by Jean Nouvel. The exhibition investigated the role of beauty in our culture as seen in a series of images shot for Vogue in the past 75 years by some of the world's most renowned photographers.
